Mega TV provides interactive and pay per view services, including movies on-demand. KT is expected to use Tandberg Television’s EN8090 HD MPEG-4 AVC and EN8030 SD MPEG-4 AVC encoders to expand its linear broadcast TV services.
According to Tandberg Television, regulatory changes in Korea mean IPTV providers are now allowed to offer broadcast services to complement their existing VOD. Korea Telecom already uses a wide range of Tandberg Television head end and contribution & distribution equipment for the Mega TV IPTV service. This head end expansion contract follows a competitive tender.
Dario Choi, vice president and general manager for Asia Pacific region at Tandberg Television, said: KT is one of the world’s most innovative telecoms companies and the Mega TV IPTV service has established itself as one of the leading IPTV services globally. We are proud of our long-standing relationship with KT for the provision of IPTV, and pleased to expand and further strengthen Mega TV.
