Video Ezy to roll out IPTV platform to more than 1000 stores

The stores, across Australia and New Zealand, serve more than eight million customers.

The main components of the electronic rental service includes an in-store kiosk with movie library, branded USB or iPod-type storage system and an in-home Java set top box.

Customers simply plug the USB or iPod into the kiosk to select movies to rent for later playback on the Java set top box.

Digisoft has been selected to provide the IPTV platform and set top box software which removes dependency on traditional middleware creating lower cost of ownership and faster returns for providers.

Video Ezy managing director, Paul Uniacke, said the primary objective has always been to give customers a service that is dynamic and innovative.
