Arroyo, a company that specializes in offering VOD servers based on industry-standard hardware, has unveiled a VOD solution for IPTV environments, which it says is currently in trials with an unnamed major US telco. At the TelcoTV show in San Diego earlier this month, the company demo'd the IPTV-enabled VOD solution, which consists of its Arroyo OnDemand software running on IBM x346 eServers, integrated with several IP middleware and set-top box platforms and supporting the H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) codec. The demo also showed the solution supporting various advanced IPTV applications, including network PVR and addressable advertising. Arroyo claims that Arroyo OnDemand provides intelligence that enables multiple, independent, open standards-based hardware elements to operate as one. According to the company, the platform offers 10 Gigabit Ethernet support, streaming density of over 3,000 2Mbps H.264 streams per rack unit, and the ability to simultaneously ingest over 400 channels per industry-standard server.
