Wowza Media Systems announces that SIDSA has integrated its highly touted digital TV products portfolio with Wowza Media Server 2 to extend the reach of customers' digital content to new Internet and mobile audiences.

SIDSA, whose global customers include Spain's Telefonica, RTVE, and Axion, Italy's RAI, Russia's OTB, and many others, achieved proven interoperability between Wowza Media Server 2 and its EtherTV gateways and Karina encoders. The SIDSA EtherTV gateway introduces digital broadcasting services directly into LAN environments to distribute live broadcast TV and radio across IP networks, and the Karina is a real-time encoder purpose-built for digital and IPTV systems.

Wowza's unified media server enables SIDSA customers to reach larger Internet and mobile audiences without having to resort to multiple costly proprietary technologies. This integrated approach provides a single platform capable of simultaneously delivering video and/or audio from a single encoded source to a multitude of clients and devices, including Flash, Silverlight, and QuickTime, IPTV set-top boxes, as well as the world's leading video-friendly mobile devices including Android and Blackberry phones, as well as the Apple iPhone and iPad.
