Streaming21, provider of broadcast-quality streaming solutions, announced that it will demonstrate its new H.264 streaming solutions & advanced IPTV/Triple-play applications at the IPTV Asia Forum in Hong Kong, using fully integrated IP Set-top Boxes including ADB, Foxconn, NUMA, COMTREND, Yuxing and Sunniwell. Visitors will experience live demos of end-to-end IPTV solutions for Live Broadcast, Video-on-Demand (VoD), and Karaoke-on-Demand (KoD) based on the H.264 advanced compression standards.
KoD is another spotlight to be first introduced in Hong Kong. With this unique KoD system, people can now enjoy singing with family and friends in the privacy and convenience of their own homes. Streaming21 has recently deployed the world’s first commercialized ‘sing-along on demand’ service for Chunghwa Telecom (TAIEX: 2412, NYSE: CHT). The service is expected to reach 200,000 subscribers by the end of this year and 1 million subscribers in three years. KoD is believed to be a killer application for the future of home entertainment in Asia.
