“Small market systems have been seeking a VOD solution that is easy to deploy, scalable, cost effective, offers a wide range of programming options, and above all is customizable,” said Jim Riley, executive vice president of TVN Entertainment. “TVN knows from working with over 80 small and mid-sized Operators that no two have the same VOD requirements. What works in Denver doesn’t necessarily work in Decatur; which is why we designed VOD Complete as a customized solution from end-to-end.”
As part of the VOD Complete, TVN performs a comprehensive system evaluation and reviews market demographics; revenue objectives and ROI targets; programming considerations; and network capacity, bandwidth, billing system, STB and IPG. Based on this review and feedback from system management, TVN constructs a customized VOD strategy including comprehensive marketing plan, VOD programming model, and hardware solution. And a complete financing program is available for all of the elements of the customized VOD solution.
“TVN not only provides consulting, technology services, interactive asset management tools and diverse programming, but we continue to deliver on-demand innovation,” said Dom Stasi, chief technology officer of TVN Entertainment. “VOD Complete is another example of how our deep relationships in the VOD-infrastructure community accrue to the benefit of our small market affiliates.”
In addition to providing comprehensive VOD services to telecommunications video providers, TVN distributes the broadest range of VOD programming in the industry.
