Ericsson has said on Tuesday that its most powerful and flexible solution for the growing multi-screen market, the Ericsson SPR1200 multi-screen stream processor and Ericsson NPR12000 multi-screen network processor, has been recognized with an IP&TV Industry Award 2012.

This is the sixth consecutive year that the Ericsson team has achieved success at the awards and validates Ericsson’s approach to helping operators to provide richer and more convenient ways for viewers to consume, socialize, and discover content on more devices.

The video processing solution, part of the Ericsson Multiscreen TV solution, combines hardware and software to enable the massive expansion in processing needed to deliver linear and live TV channels within a multi-screen offering. It offers unmatched levels of density, scalability and cost effectiveness, changing the landscape for multi-screen TV service enablement.

"Our research into consumer TV trends and associated value clearly identifies the expectation that multi-screen TV services will need to offer all the choice of linear and live TV channels that consumers have today on the big screen TV. This IP&TV Industry Award reflects the pioneering moves we are making to enable these true multi-screen TV consumer experiences. We are proud to be honored for a sixth consecutive year, serving as proof that we continue to drive the industry forward in enabling the experiences that consumers continually expect on multiple devices, at any time," said Staffan Pehrson, Vice President and Head of TV, Ericsson.
