The WatchWith Service Delivery Platform gives content providers and service operators immediate access to the only standards-based platform running in 70 million consumer households worldwide today.

The WatchWith Service Delivery Platform is being demonstrated at IBC 2011 in the booths of Oracle and Verimatrix.

“RCDb makes the OTT business model work by bringing a ‘virtual set top’ solution to the operator, leveraging the consumer purchase of standards-based Blu-ray Disc players” said Hervé Utheza, president of RCDb. “This literally represents hundreds of millions of dollars saved in operator CAPEX investment.”
