Market research firm Infonetics
Research released excerpts from 2 recent video reports, Video-on-Demand
(VOD) and Encoder Equipment and Video Subscribers, which tracks
equipment sold to telco IPTV,
cable video, and satellite video providers, and Set-Top
Boxes and Subscribers, which tracks IP,
cable, satellite, and hybrid set-top boxes (STBs) and over-the-top (OTT)
media servers.
ANALYST NOTE
“Thanks to a 7% increase in encoder spending by North American cable and
satellite operators, the global video infrastructure market saw a return
to growth in the second quarter,” notes Jeff
Heynen, directing analyst for broadband access and pay TV at Infonetics
Research. “The market continues to be driven by cable and satellite
operators upgrading their encoding infrastructure to support more
high-definition channels and unicast video-on-demand content.”
Heynen
adds: “Meanwhile, satellite set-top boxes surged in Q2, with global
shipments up 20% and revenue up 19% sequentially. The biggest growth is
coming from the Asia Pacific region, particularly China, but growth is
also strong in Latin America and North America, where DirecTV and Dish
Network are seeing sustained subscriber growth and renewed interest
in higher-function STBs like Dish’s Hopper.”
