CNI and Minerva Nominate Anevia Genova as Recommended Encoders for Operator
Clients of Minerva YourTV Now Service

Anevia, a leading provider of OTT and IPTV software solutions, Com Net Inc
(CNI), a leading provider of operation support solutions to communications
service providers, and Minerva, a global supplier of next-generation video
entertainment platforms, announce that Anevia's Genova encoders are chosen as
the recommended encoding and transcoding technology for service providers
offering services based on the Minerva YourTV Now cloud video offering. Powered
by CNI's video headend, Minerva YourTV Now video entertainment service provides
cable and telco operators across the 48 contiguous states of the USA with a
white-label hosted and managed solution for the delivery of advanced pay TV
services.

"The encoders went live within our infrastructure during the first quarter of
this year. Anevia provided strong support throughout the process, quickly
resolving any issues," comments CNI CTO Randall Plaisier. "Because Genova is a
software encoder, it enables future upgrades to 4K HDR for HEVC encoding. And
it has enabled us to offer an ultra-low latency streaming service - the first
in North America. The results have been so good that we recently chose to
deepen our relationship with Anevia. In this Phase Two level we now recommend
Genova as the first officially approved solution for operators who want to
subscribe to the Minerva YourTV Now service and require encoding in their
platforms."

"We are very gratified that CNI chose to renew its trust in Anevia by selecting
Genova Live after having deployed our packaging, Cloud DVR and CDN solutions,"
adds Anevia North American Sales Manager Cory Schwall. "This builds on the
momentum of successful deployments we have made with other major telcos in
North America."

Genova Live is an ultra-low latency software-based encoder and transcoder
running on commercial off-the-shelf server platforms. Key features include
simple licence-based HEVC coding, easy software-based upgrading, and 1080p HD
capability with up to four profiles. Running on a single 1U COTS server, Genova
Live can support up to 30 channels at 720p30 with four profiles, which puts it
well ahead of many competitors.

Designed for live OTT and IPTV video streaming, it compresses live video and
audio feeds to H.264 (AVC) and HEVC for IPTV and multi-bitrate OTT. Genova Live
then encodes content in SD, HD and 4K / UHD with high dynamic range. If the
operator's architecture requires it, Genova Live can also include an OTT
packager to push content to third-party CDNs.

Minerva YourTV Now will be demonstrated at the joint Minerva/Anevia booth #927
at Cable- Tec Expo(r) in New Orleans, LA, September 30th - October 3rd.
