"Envivio was founded on the premise that the Internet and the ability to deliver high quality video to devices other than televisions would unleash entirely new ways of experiencing visual entertainment," said Julien Signes, President and CEO at Envivio. "Envivio's vision of convergence has been widely embraced and validated with record sales growth and the addition of major customers globally. Our products are delivering millions of streams of content to mobile devices, computers and TVs in every market around the world. Along the way, we made conscious decisions to do things differently. We developed an extensible software platform and made use of high performance Intel server hardware instead of the more traditional approach that uses rigid ASICs and FPGAs. This has given us the flexibility to anticipate the evolution of Three Screens delivery and to continually lead through innovation and quality enhancement."

The Envivio 4Caster C4(2) Three Screens encoder is the result of 10 years of innovation, development and experience. It provides the means to deliver and profit from live and on-demand services for Mobile, PC and SD/HDTV screens, all from a single platform, eliminating the need for separate head-ends for each. The 4Caster C4(2) is found throughout the solutions Envivio has on display at NAB, including:
