Apple iPad users will get the chance to sample adaptive streaming media services at next week's CableLabs Winter Conference, it has been revealed.
Set to be launched for iPad, tablets, netbooks, PCs and gaming consoles, the technology will enable streaming media services providers to expand their broadcast TV and on-demand services. Amit Eshet, senior director of media processing at BigBand Networks, said: "The spectrum dedicated to the delivery of video to set-top boxes can also be used for the delivery of video to IP devices in a 'bandwidth-free' manner that doesn't degrade the legacy service or require massive capex investments upfront." Elsewhere, PC World recently reported that Logitech is set to offer streaming media services to iPad users in the near future. The company is set to extend its LifeSize video streaming system in the coming months and will deliver streaming video solutions for iPad owners, the publication stated. Posted by Thomas Price ![]() |
