Wyplay Media Gateway Software Running on ViXS XCode

TORONTO, September 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --



Wyplay's advanced media open solutions based software running on the


XCode(c) 4310 Media Center with secure streaming to mobile devices



ViXS Systems Inc. (TSX: VXS) today announced that their partnership with Wyplay has
led to the development of a true open platform based system solution for new operator
media gateway solutions. This new platform architecture can be customized to have a unique
look and feel for specific operator requirements. Utilizing the latest open software
techniques such as HTML-5, widgets and many more features, the software can leverage
legacy set-top box architecture as well as run on newer platforms. A key feature of the
Wyplay architecture is the ability to interoperate over a multi-screen environment, taking
full advantage of ViXS' advanced transcoding architecture on the XCode 4310.



Wyplay's innovative approach to software development and interoperability -
illustrated by the recent announcement of the Frog by Wyplay initiative giving access to
the company's entire solution source code - has already gained traction in the Set-top box
industry allowing operators such as Canal+, SFR, Belgacom and Vodafone to quickly develop
new middleware solutions which have achieved very fast time to market. On display at IBC
in the ViXS suite will be an interactive user interface for digital TV delivery and
streaming to tablet and mobile devices.



"ViXS is delighted to be demonstrating Wyplay's media framework at IBC," said David
Jones, VP Marketing and Business development for ViXS Systems. "Working with Wyplay has
shown that with good managed processes and a solid open source framework new applications
and middleware can quickly and efficiently be created not only for the media server but
throughout the multi-user home media ecosystem. As early adopters of the Frog by Wyplay
initiative, we look forward to many opportunities for collaboration with this complete
packaged solution."



"The emerging gateway market has been an exciting space for Wyplay to operate in and
is a great match for our software," said Dominique Feral, Wyplay CMO. "ViXS is one of the
key leaders in this emerging market with their expertise in media transcoding silicon
solutions. ViXS is a logical partner for providing solutions for pay TV operators that are
looking for innovative solutions and quick time to market. We are pleased to play a role
in ViXS's overall media software ecosystem and welcome their involvement in the Frog by
Wyplay community we recently announced."
