It's right there in the name of the company: Evolution Digital's big aim is to help its partners - mostly tier one and tier two cable operators - evolve to a video future that isn't reliant on QAM-based technology, but a platform that takes advantage of much more flexible IP technologies. But there are differing views on how to get there. Some are advocating cloud-based systems that bring IP-like capability to QAM-locked boxes, while others are far more interested in aggressively going after an all-IP future. Though QAM/MPEG transport video won't go away any time soon, Evolution's plan to tap into hybrid QAM/IP infrastructures will allow operators to weave together their legacy services with new OTT offerings.
