LAS VEGAS, April 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Broadcast International, Inc.

"Our customers are moving quickly to deliver TV Anywhere content to their subscriber bases.  Broadcast International's award winning CodecSys encoding, transcoding and media publishing platform coupled with aioTV's consumer interface and back-end services creates a compelling and quickly deployed end-to-end OTT solution," commented Steve Jones, General Manager of the CodecSys Division.
