Sunnyvale, California, September 8, 2011 – VITEC Multimedia, a leading provider of advanced video solutions today announced that it has partnered with Associated Press to integrate the ENPS Desktop Client with its IPTV technology and will demonstrate the combined system at the 2011 IBC show in Amsterdam.
