“In order to provide live TV from the home to Internet or Wi-Fi connected iPhones® or iPads®, Broadway requires high performance and high quality H.264 transcoding. The ViXS XCode® 4105 offered the right combination of transcoding, encoding and stream processing to enable Broadway’s advanced features and functionality,” said Mr. Ken Plotkin, President & Chief Executive Officer of Hauppauge, the parent company of PCTV Systems Sarl.
