Entriq Simplifies the Publishing of Online Content With Launch of the MediaSphere Digital Store; Entriq Gives Content Providers the Ability to Quickly Drag, Drop and Sell Content on Three Distinct Platforms: Broadband, Mobile and IPTV

Posted on: Tuesday, 27 September 2005, 09:00 CDT

Entriq, 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, today announced at CTIA Wireless Entertainment & I.T., the availability of its MediaSphere Digital Store, a new offering in the MediaSphere family of products. MediaSphere is a white label service that lets customers drag, drop and sell content quickly and securely, making it available for purchase through broadband, 3G mobile platforms or IPTV/Microsoft Media Center Edition (MCE).

The MediaSphere Digital Store is the fastest and easiest way to move content from production to distribution through multiple channels. The Entriq approach to monetizing content is unseen in the industry today, and allows content owners to provide and sell media to consumers on the platform of their choice. The MediaSphere Digital Store enables customers to author a storefront on the Internet, publish and manage their content in an automated way, and protect it with rights management policies. The product is an end-to-end solution, built from the ground up for content sale on multiple platforms.

"With the MediaSphere Digital Store, Entriq is delivering an end-to-end triple play by enabling customers to sell content via broadband, mobile and IPTV devices," said Scott Crowder, chief operating officer of Entriq. "Entriq makes it easy for content providers to capture additional revenue opportunities by selling their content through the most popular and growing channels."

Customized Approach from Production to Distribution

Entriq provides the MediaSphere Digital Store in a modular format, giving customers the ability to build on MediaSphere's security, commerce and tracking options to fit their unique business needs:

-- Content Preparation -- Provides complete management and delivery of the processes necessary to prepare content for digital delivery, including source content analysis, encoding and encryption.

-- Content Management -- Provides an easy to use mechanism to upload, manage, organize and publish digital content. In conjunction with the Content Preparation and Online Storefront modules, the Content Management tool provides an integrated application to sell digital media content over the Internet.

-- Online Storefront -- Used in conjunction with the Content Management module, this module enables the development of an online storefront. The storefront can be skinned to match a specific brand and Web site, so that a user will experience the download store as an integrated application.

-- Content Storage and Delivery -- Provides content owners with the ability to store digital media assets and supports streaming, download and progressive/continuous download distribution methods based on the customer's business models-all within an pre-approved, secure and always-available network infrastructure.

-- Download Control -- Provides full control for downloading video and audio files to a customer's computer. Customers can trigger download requests through a browser or other application, and customize the user interface to match the branding and usability requirements.

Through its MediaSphere platform, Entriq provides all-in-one solutions that make it easy for content providers and aggregators to manage, protect, monetize and deliver multimedia content to broadband, mobile and IPTV consumers with the most advanced content protection and pay media technologies available.
