RGB acquires mobile tech firm for three-screen delivery

Video technology provider RGB Networks has acquired mobile delivery specialist RipCode as part of its strategy to deliver ‘three-screen’ delivery platforms to operators.

RGB will incorporate RipCode’s mobile IP video technology into its Video Multiprocessing Gateway transcoding platform to enable operators to deliver video to TVs, PCs and mobile devices from a single platform.

RGB said that RipCode’s technology for converting live and on-demand video content to formats required for the mobile environment, complemented by RGB’s transcoding and ad insertion capabilities for TV and PCs, would offer a completely new solution to operators.
