DALVI and Magenta Media Bring Drop-in Movie Channels To The UK Luxury Hotel Market

Luxury and boutique hotels can build new revenue streams based on Hollywood movies and adult entertainment channels, using a Dalvi developed Pay TV system in conjunction with Magenta Medias Wireless Guest Entertainment (WGE) solution.

London (PRWEB) March 5, 2005 -- Because Dalvis Pay TV systems use a hotels established coaxial television distribution network, no costly upgrades of existing guest room cabling systems are required. The Dalvi solution can be operated using the Magenta Media WGE, with guests able to choose programmes wirelessly using a PDA called RoomPro.

Magenta Medias wireless platform enables boutique and smaller hotels to adopt Dalvis Pay TV as well as its own customised guest information and entertainment services with minimal disruption, since neither system requires new cabling at installation. While many hotels have sought new entertainment revenue channels in recent years, they have tended to view traditional systems - with their associated CAT5 cabling needs - as expensive and disruptive to install.

Integrated Pay TV technology ensures that pay channels cant be viewed without being ordered by the guest. For security, all video signals are encrypted to prevent unauthorised access. In addition, the systems user interface has simple automated instructions in multiple languages for guests.

Dalvis Pay-TV product is the latest addition to the entertainment options provided by Magentas Wireless Guest Entertainment (WGE) solution. Using the WGE systems RoomPro PDA screen, guests choose different Internet, email, local information and room service themselves, with the whole information platform integrated into the hotels central computer system. Room service requests and paid for services are captured, simplifying administration and billing by hotel staff.

Using the combined Magenta Media WGE and Dalvi Pay TV, guests have exciting entertainment options which are more modern and easier to use than traditional room equipment controls and worn-out room information folders. New arrivals pick up their RoomPro when checking in, use it throughout their stay and return it at departure.

Dalvis Pay TV solutions deliver more exciting and easy-to-install entertainment possibilities for boutique hotels in the UK," explained Melissa Dickman, business development manager at Dalvi. Having our Pay TV system on Magenta Medias dedicated wireless platform will transform options open to hoteliers and hotel chains alike. In addition, because Dalvi is a fully integrated as a stand alone option or as part of the Magenta Media product, the system set-up is simpler and faster than any comparable channel on the market."

‘Drop-in entertainment systems are giving hotels a fresh start on guest entertainment, according to Magenta Medias managing director, Nathan Amery, who said: Providing Dalvi Pay TV on our Wireless Guest Entertainment platform gives luxury hotels exciting TV and Internet entertainment possibilities and additional revenue opportunities which they wouldnt have implemented before on cost grounds, or because installation would have been too disruptive.

Wireless Guest Entertainment is an inexpensive and simple way for hotels to extend these services with a much lower entry point on cost."
