Entriq, Inc., a company that provides all-in-one pay media solutions to manage, protect, monetize and deliver multimedia content to broadband, mobile and IPTV devices worldwide, announced that it has been selected by SevenOne Intermedia, ProSiebenSat.1-Group's Multimedia Company, to enable its soon to be launched maxdome Video on Demand portal.
Entriq will be providing SevenOne Intermedia with a full end-to-end 10' Media Center Edition (MCE) based digital store enabling customers to access maxdome via PC and TV. The company will also use Entriq's Security Plus component of the end-to-end Digital Store solution to publish, manage, secure, sell and deliver content via the web to 18 million German consumers. This 10-foot user experience for maxdome will provide a wide range of premium TV content as well as movies from the likes of Paramount Pictures Global, Constantin Film Verleih or Kinowelt.
In addition Entriq will also be providing its Digital Rights Management and Security Plus solutions to three additional web sites operated by United Internet AG, one of Germany's largest ISP who will be providing customers with content from the maxdome portal via its GMX, WEB.de and 1&1 brands. Entriq's Security Plus solution enables virtually all business models including subscription based, pay-per-view, ad supported and pay-to-own. The platform leverages the real-world complexity of today's media distribution deals and gives content owners the ability to test multiple business models to determine the best possible recipe for monetizing their high-value content across multiple platform distribution channels.
Jan Steenkamp, CEO of Entriq said "broadband distribution has matured to such a level in Europe that media owners across Europe are seeing new revenue opportunities through online and mobile distribution channels for their premium content. We are looking forward to working with SevenOne Intermedia and its content partners to ensure that the maxdome portal will deliver a secure and compelling user experience to the German audience."
The maxdome portal scheduled for launch in QII 2006, will be unveiled at the CeBit Show which begins on 9 March.
