Verizon Business Unveils Advanced Version of Its Digital Media Platform

Verizon Business today unveiled a new version of its flagship digital media platform to enable broadcast and entertainment companies virtually worldwide to more efficiently manage, edit and deliver digital media content.

The new version, part of Verizon Business’ ICF Media Platform family of software-based products and services, supports the National Television System Committee (NTSC) signal, the standard for North America, Central America and Japan. As a result, broadcast and entertainment companies in those regions can now use the platform.

Earlier versions of the ICF Media Platform support the Phase Alternate Line (PAL) broadcast standard commonly used in much of Western Europe, including the United Kingdom, Germany and Holland; several countries in South America and Africa; and the Middle East, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and other islands of the Pacific. North American users could deploy the media platform with the PAL version, but only with pre-recorded content that needed to be reformatted.

At the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) trade show here (South Hall, Booth SL2403), Verizon Business is demonstrating how the media platform integrates with existing production systems to streamline content distribution in virtually any format to any device, including EVDO-enabled products from Verizon Wireless.
