SeaChange International, Inc. announced that Midco is upgrading its multi-market SeaChange-based video-on-demand system to the next-generation SeaChange Adrenalin multiscreen capable software platform.

Slated to go live in the first half of 2017, the Adrenalin platform will enable Midco to maintain its strategy of centralized on-demand operations over its existing HFC network, while paving the way for on-demand service expansion to subscribersâ mobile phones, tablets and other IP-based viewing devices.
Bill Chatwell, Video Systems Manager, Midco, said, âWeâre pleased to continue our longstanding collaboration with SeaChange to continue Midcoâs popular ON Demand services and have the ability to expand our foundation for advanced capabilities in the future.â
Ed Terino, SeaChange CEO, said, âSeaChange is proud of our ongoing partnership with Midco. We look forward to helping them as they continue to provide exciting, world class services for their subscribers.â

Midco will also deploy SeaChange AssetFlow content management software for automated management of the lifecycle of on-demand content, from movie and TV program ingest and tracking, to metadata handling and overall content workflow.
