Tech Mahindra announced that it has been selected by Microsoft to set up an authorized Encoder Conformance Testing Lab (ECT Lab) for video encoders used in deployment of IPTV solutions on Microsoft Mediaroom based platforms.
The Microsoft Mediaroom platform ecosystem includes real-time encoders, transcoders, user client and other integrated software components that enables delivery of multimedia content over an IP network.
Microsoft’s selection of Tech Mahindra for encoder conformance testing comes after a thorough evaluation of Tech Mahindra’s technical and operational abilities. With vast experience in the
areas of multimedia content delivery solutions and in-depth understanding of video technologies, combined with extensive expertise in hosting and managing large captive labs for OEMs as well as TSPs, Tech Mahindra was the preferred candidate for this activity.
Tech Mahindra has set up a test lab in collaboration with Microsoft at its Bangalore facility for
this activity. Encoders from OEMs across the globe will be tested and qualified against the conformance parameters set by Microsoft for the Mediaroom platform.
We are excited to be Microsoft’s authorized ECT lab provider. This initiative will drive Microsoft Mediaroom ecosystem partners to offer feature rich products and service. With Microsoft Mediaroom’s strong market recognition as the world’s most deployed IPTV platform and Tech
Mahindra’s technical ability to set up highly complex labs, we are looking forward to provide our customers with faster turn-around time to jointly implement market solutions. This further testifies our proactive involvement in investing and growing with the partners,” said L Ravichandran, president, IT Services.
We are pleased to work with Tech Mahindra to offer our Mediaroom ecosystem partners worldwide a seamless and efficient method for video encoder qualification,” said Andreas Mueller-Schubert, general manager, Interactive Entertainment Business, Microsoft Corp.
