Nearly a Quarter of All TV Homes Are Watching With Cisco Cisco Highlights Industry Leadership and Innovative, Open Solutions at IBC 2013
AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS IBC, September 13-17, 2013 Stand 1.A71 - At IBC 2013, Cisco will highlight an approach to innovation in pay TV that has enabled it to gain and maintain its industry leading position. With more than 300,000,000 homes around the world watching TV with Cisco, nearly a quarter of all global TV homes are now enjoying improved viewing experiences.
Whilst 80percent of the world's homes have access to TV[1], fewer than half of them are benefiting from digital and the additional functionality that it can enable. At the other end of the spectrum, the amount of video traversing IP networks is set to reach a record 88 exabytes a month by 2017[2], with 914,100 minutes of video streamed or downloaded every second all with less than 50 percent of the world's population connected to the Internet.
Building on over 20 years of experience driving new services and profitable growth for pay-TV operators and the media and entertainment industry, Cisco is uniquely positioned to help the industry capture the huge opportunities being generated as every network attached device becomes video capable and consumers seek ubiquitous video access.
Whether in the cloud, network or client, Cisco is at the forefront of the industry with award winning technologies and market-leadership in software, hardware, security and an approach to innovation that is second to none.
At IBC, Cisco will demonstrate leading solutions delivered from its proven Videoscape Unity platform, utilized by over 150 leading providers worldwide. With a focus on the openness and innovation offered by Videoscape Unity, Cisco will unveil new solutions delivering greater agility, optimized services and monetization opportunities for new and existing customers.

Additional demonstration highlights:
High Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC): Cisco will demonstrate the use of HEVC to support the distribution of 4K Ultra High Definition (HD) to an RDK based STB; and of HEVC coded, DASH encapsulated content to connected mobile devices, with full support for adaptive bit-rate streaming and multiple formats.

At IBC Cisco will feature a number of demonstrations based on the Open APIs featuring third-party vendor integrations.
