WHAT IS CLOUD TO CABLE?
Use Case: Music for Cable TV
Amplify your Reach®
By Dr. Edwin A. Hernandez | edwinhm@eglacorp.com
The Problem
Creating TV, video and music packages or a new “TV/Cable Network” for cable TV, satellite,e
and mobile operators (“affiliates”) requires time, effort, lots of capital, and the use of multiple
technologies. As an example, satellite time for
delivery of TV/music content could cost thousands if
not millions of dollars per year. In the case of music
distribution, this is more complex and revenues may
need to be split among multiple brokers and
intermediate agents.
Additionally, current cable TV subscribers want their
TV and music content in their mobile device. Users
want to enjoy their cable TV subscriptions at home,
office, and anywhere, anytime.
OTT and Over-the-Top Platforms are widely used
today to sell individual subscriptions but no that
many network can reach out to millions of viewers
without Cable TV’s help . Hence, Cable TV distribution provides a volume monetization outlet
by tapping into millions of subscribers worldwide. Cable TV is the best monetization outlet for
music channels, TV networks, and video content (VOD).
In this white paper, we introduce MEVIA as the solution for content distribution for mobile,
web, and Cable/Satellite TV systems reducing costs and maximizing returns.
The Solution
MEVIA is a multimedia platform that enables quick and easy distribution of TV, video,
and music package content to cable and mobile operators in a one stop shop. MEVIA
connects the worlds of web/mobile with cable operators headends or MSOs.
©2018 2
Our “Cloud to CABLE” technology is a patented system1
that distributes
and delivers TV, music, and video channels to satellite and cable TV
operators as well as the mobile/web, providing a unified user experience. MEVIA is true
to our slogan “Amplify your reach®”
MEVIA also includes customizable mobile applications and specialized equipment for
Satellite and Cable TV broadcasting.
When a content owner loads TV, Music, and Video channels into MEVIA, the content is
made available securely in all the affiliate systems including mobile, smart TVs, or web,
and any standard Cable TV set top boxes.
What Type of TV, Music, and Video Offers are
Available?
The range of multimedia services that can be offered are:
• VOD or Video On Demand, and
• Linear Television Networks,
A media owner can offer, for example, a Cable TV and
Mobile package that entails:
• Thousands of VOD files,
• 50+ Music channels with customizable screens, and
• 5+ Linear concert channels
What Type of Formats
MEVIA uses all kinds of encoders and transcoders for audio and video, hence any file from any
format can be ingested processed and broadcasted. The most popular formats are MPEG, MP4,
with encoding in H.264,. H.265, AAC, AC-3, and MP3.
How MEVIA Works?
In essence, MEVIA connects to any web-based platform, rendering its contents and
preparing multiple broadcast-ready streams for operators, mobile, and web.
These streams can constitute of:
1 Cloud to Cable TV patent in the US was updated to “Reasons for Allowance,” we expect that by end of the
summer the patent to be issued following continuations in the US and Europe.
©2018 3
• Music with enhanced metadata,
• TV/Video with real-time enriched web-based information, twitter
feeds, and
• Music-only content
In summary, Cloud to Cable and MEVIA provides three main delivery mechanisms:
• Applications – Mobile and Web
• Cable Systems and Satellite Operators
• And, Over-the-Top Applications for Apple TV, Chromecast, Smart TVs and private
systems
HTML-Page CABLE COLOR – TV with Set Top Box
We will present how to the business model works, some case studies. and our mobile
application.
Business Model
The business model used by MEVIA is a subscriber-based and perfectly fits current proven
monetization’s in what it is called “Multichannel Video Provider Distributor” (MVPD). In this
model, operators purchase packages from companies such as Time Warner, SONY, ESPN,
Disney, CNN, and many others at prices that range from cents to several dollars paid per
subscribers. The MVPD makes money by adding a margin and selling advertisement. In this
case, an MVPD will use MEVIA to purchase TV, Music, and Video content, pay the content
owner and resell that content rights to all their subscribers as part a “Digital” or “Premium”
package, or as any format that the operator chooses to use. For Example a Cable TV Operator
may purchase ESPN package for $3.95/subscriber and sell a premium package with ESPN For
$29.99/subscriber, it is likely that other similar network would cost the operator between cents
per subscriber to a few dollars. Package pricing depends on volume and in some cases, years of
negotiations and agreements.
©2018 4
MEVIA will provide 10, 20, 100, or as many channels MEVIA has access to and
deliver those contents to the operator in the format that their system
supports, allowing also those operator subscribers to access that same content over their
mobile device.
Cable TV Market and Subscribers Worldwide
The Cable TV market and “PayTV” has increased 5% year after year and continues
increasing despite “Cord cutting” that has been seen in the United States, this is not the
case worldwide.
The number of cable subscribers worldwide is estimated to be 890 Million or close to 1
Billion subscribers. The total amount of subscribers by 2023 will be 1.8 Billion.
©2018 5
Case Study: CABLEVISION MEXICO
As an example, CABLEVISION MEXICO wanted 50+ music channels branded under their
name “CABLEVISION” and provided a set of backgrounds that were going to be used for
a customizable screen broadcasted to their users on channels 800-850. The broadcast
should include their logo and artist/song metadata, as shown here:
MEVIA created all the music channels simultaneously and broadcasted a lineup ready for
more than 1 Million subscribers in Mexico City. Similar screens were made for AXTEL TV,
a smaller operator in Mexico City.
©2018 6
Sample Set Top Boxes for DMX and CABLEVISION Music
Case Study: MOOD MEDIA
MOOD MEDIA ingested thousands of song files into MEVIA’s storage platform via secured FTP
(SFTP). The files were stored in 256Kbps format in some cases where stored in MP3 in others
AC-3.
The multimedia content might be hosted within MEVIA’s storage platform and content
management. In this case study, a product was created for DMX Music/MOOD Media in
2013-2015 timeframe where all the assets were hosted by MEVIA. MEVIA applications
and platform was used to synchronize up to 10+ Cable Operators broadcasting multiple
packages with 50+ music channels some with audio-only some others with video and
metadata. MOOD MEDIA had over 20M subscribers in operators that included TIGO,
©2018 7
CLARO, and many others. By using MEVIA, MOOD was able to sell DMX
for $16M to STINGRAY DIGITAL.
In this case, a customized HTML web
application and native applications were
used together for mobile/web and OTT
that complemented the Cable Operator
offering.
Demonstration: Case Study Using Spotify (Internal Test) 2
Assume a cable operator in Peru has decided to make a deal with “Spotify” and would
like to broadcast music to 2M subscribers with a package composed of 50 music
channels from Spotify and a few music video channels from a different provider
including VEVO.
2 This case study shows how the platform can be used with web-based existing platforms and how Cable TV
Channel can be quickly enabled with our platform.
©2018 8
Without our Cloud to Cable technology, this would be a daunting task, besides the
associated cost for satellite fees, and additional complications. In this figure, MEVIA
facilitates distribution of a web application to be part of the Cable TV channel line-up.
MEVIA Cloud will connect to the web-provider and retrieve all required web-assets that
are currently in use by Spotify. The authentication and authorization can also be linked
in connection with the Cable Operator and MEVIA provides a method for single sign-on.
MEVIA can accommodate 50-100 music channels broadcasting in SD, HD, or even 4K
depending on the bandwidth that the operator may have available for this service.

WEB / CLOUD
CABLE TV
©2018 10
As shown, the playlists corresponding to “Rap Game,” “We are Dance”,
“Détente”, “Oudi Pas”, “Hits Academy,” and “Full Moon” are converted from
their web-format to Cable TV lineup by MEVIA.
Now, an Operator will be able to offer a particular set of Spotify playlists to its
subscribers and increase Spotify® music viewership by 2M subscribers.
Similarly, VEVO has no cable TV product offering, MEVIA can enable both VOD and
Linear Programming streaming from the same appliance using our caching and
distribution network that has been put in place for Spotify®
©2018 11
Case Study: SKY Brasil and SKY TUNES Application
SKY BRASIL® created SKY TUNES a
product that was powered by MEVIA
from 2013-2015. MEVIA provided all
OTT streams for thousands of
customers in that part of the world.
SKY TUNES mobile applications were
downloaded by millions of subscribers
in IOS and Android. MEVIA provided
to SKYTUNES APIs, streams, and
playlists for the application, as well as
analytics.
50+ Music Channels on CABLE TV
Lineup
• 5+ VEVO Linear Channels on CABLE TV
LINEUP
VOD for ALL VEVO Videos on
CABLE TV
©2018 12
Multimedia Ingest
Ingest of media can be done to our cloud storage in our platform, by simply adding and
dropping all the required music files in MP3, AAC, or AC-3 Formats.
©2018 13
Movies can also be uploaded and ingested by accessing the storage and
uploading all the required MP4, MPEG-2, or any other format encoded in any
known video encoder as H.264, H.265, MPEG2 Video, and many others.
Mobile Apps for MEVIA
MEVIA provides a middleware apps, one for music content that was branded initially as
“Mediamplify Music” and MEVIA Apps. The fist app is music centric only, and loads hundreds if
not thousands of music channels in linear format, or Pandora-like with “keyword” seed stations.
MEVIA is more video and music centric, in other words playback video and music for IOS and
©2018 14
Android. The sample implementations and can be replaced with any
additional branding or screens as the operator requires.
