Inc., the first and largest IPVOD
provider in the hospitality industry, today announced it completed implementation
of its new digital entertainment servers, with the largest capacity in
the industry, to maximize revenue-building opportunities for its clients.
NxTV�s July movie lineup will feature over 250 movies on demand, the largest
selection in the industry, including both recent Hollywood blockbusters
and smaller box-office independent films. NxTV also tested and proved
the ability of its IPVOD technology to deliver guest programming directly
over a secured Internet connection. The company�s new server capacity
combined with its ability in the future to deliver Internet-direct entertainment
will give operators a virtually unlimited range of viewing options to increase
viewer satisfaction and generate additional revenue.

said, �NxTV vastly expanded the scalability of its technology by proving
the viability of using the Internet on a secured link to deliver IP video
on demand. This capability means that in the near future NxTV can
provide unlimited on-demand content anywhere there is an Internet connection.
Our clients can offer a vast spectrum of entertainment to tap guests� interests
and generate additional revenue.� Reeder added, �Viewers are expecting
more and more entertainment options to be available to them on demand.�
With its just-completed rollout of high-capacity video servers, NxTV�s
hotel customers now offer their guests the widest selection of on-demand
content, appealing to a broader range of interests. As a result,
guests will have a better in-room experience and hotels will see improved
revenues.
Reeder explained that the traveling public is experiencing a shift in
entertainment preferences due to the increased popularity of social media
and other alternative programming. �Operators are now implementing
systems that utilize converged IP networks throughout their properties
to take advantage of emerging alternate programming revenue-building opportunities.
NxTV�s system already leverages the advantages of converged networks;
its ability to make the leap to Internet delivery will enable its clients
in hospitality and other markets to further capitalize on this trend.�
