CNI is working with Minerva Networks to supply the hosted and managed video head-end for Minerva’s white-label cloud video offering for pay-TV operators throughout the US. The streaming solution, called Minerva Your TV Now, includes content transport rights for live national and local channels, as well as video streaming features such as catch-up TV, restart TV, pause live TV and cloud DVR. Anevia’s NEA-DVR and NEA-CDN are key components of the offering.

Anevia’s gear will provide subscribers with a selection of modern viewing options, including restart TV for up to 150 channels with up to 72 hours of catch-up viewing, and 50 hours of personal video recording. Operators also have the option of adding more storage to the cloud DVR service if needed.

“Anevia is proud to be part of CNI’s head-end that powers Minerva’s Your TV Now platform,” said Grégory Samson, EVP of sales, for media and telecom at Anevia . “With NEA-DVR, operators can now propose the most modern OTT features, to existing set-top boxes and to a multitude of consumer devices, to increase customer satisfaction long into the future.”

“We needed a cloud DVR and CDN solution that would fit with our managed services model, and that is designed to scale” added Randy Plaisier, CTO of CNI. “Anevia’s NEA-DVR and NEA-CDN work together seamlessly, enabling operators to reduce costs and optimise bandwidth performance, while scaling for peak viewing.”
