Xenon Music consists of Xenon™ Streamer Pro, Xenon™ Offline Encoder Pro and Xenon™ Live Encoder Pro with features that include enhanced encoding and streaming capabilities, intensive billing and authorization interfaces, and personal playlists with loop, shuffle and fast track switching. Vidiator’s technology platform is one of the enablers of PCCW’s music service “MOOV on mobile,” providing customers with an innovative and worry-free music experience on 3G handsets.

“MOOV on mobile” is an innovative way to enjoy music through mobile handsets. The service not only provides customers of “MOOV on mobile” with eight preset lists that refresh every 15 minutes on 3G handsets, but also allows them to compile their own playlists via a personal computer and enjoy their favorite songs on mobile phones anytime, anywhere,” said Ian Stone, Managing Director, Mobile and Projects, of PCCW. “We are delighted to adopt Vidiator’s technology as one of the enablers to deliver this new service with the largest library of mobile music in Hong Kong.”

“The Xenon Music platform is an innovative mobile music service that allows for the delivery of music and other audio content to a customer’s mobile device on demand. Selecting from a large music library with features such as playlists and fast track switching, allows for music to be easily selected and played by the user, making the currently popular portable music devices a thing of the past,” said Connie Wong, CEO at Vidiator. “PCCW mobile’s deployment of our Xenon suite of products for multimedia content delivery demonstrates how carriers are moving fast to meet customer demands for video and audio mobile services. As the mobile content market continues to rapidly expand, we expect to see higher demand of multimedia content to be delivered to the mobile user.”
