Broadcasters can Simplify the
Delivery of New Video Services With Alticast
BROOMFIELD, Colo. – April 6, 2015 – Alticast, a global partner for the delivery
of media entertainment, will show attendees of NAB 2015 how its latest
solutions can simplify the development and delivery of new, more personalized,
multiscreen TV viewing experiences. The
demonstrations will take place at their booth (N1223), April 13 – 16, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
“NAB is the perfect venue for us to show broadcasters and
content owners how they can take advantage of the Cloud and other new
technologies to deliver services to many video consumption devices used by
viewers,” said John Carlucci, President and Chief Technical Officer for
Alticast North America. “More and more
content is being delivered from the Cloud to a variety of devices via IP and
Alticast has the technology to deploy quick, nimble, secure and scalable
services adapting to the changing digital media consumer.”
Alticast’s key demonstrations at NAB 2015 will include:
·
The company’s HDMI Media Express ‘set-top box on a stick,’ which represents a new
paradigm for IP video delivery with live and on-demand programing being
delivered directly from the cloud or in concert with a home gateway. The size
and shape of a USB thumb drive, it also provides a TV Everywhere experience
with its download-and-go and plug-and-play capability. Additionally, HDMI Media Express supports
HTML5 and Android application delivery due to its leveraging the Reference
Design Kit (RDK) and Alticast’s TV Ready User Agent application framework.
· The
new multi-catalog search capability of Alticast’s AltiView 1 user experience (UX), powered by Rovi, allows subscribers
to simultaneously search multiple content catalogs from over-the-top (OTT)
providers like Netflix, Hulu and YouTube, and select the delivery source. This
allows operators to add services from secondary content catalogs and offer it
to their viewers.
·
Alticast’s AltiPlex
Cloud Services Platform (CSP) provides a variety of cloud solutions,
including back office integration, metadata delivery, big-data support and a
number of add-on features. Alticast will be highlighting their Cloud-based Digital
Video Recording (DVR) system, which enables cloud-based storage and delivery of
content.
·
A joint
demonstration will show broadcasters how to take advantage of ATSC 2.0 to overlay applications onto
their video and deliver a new generation of iTV services and
advanced advertising applications. The
demonstration includes an Alticast enabled set-top box (STB), providing a
robust browser and application life cycle control for managing applications.
Tools from Strategy & Technology (S&T) insert
ATSC 2.0 triggers into recorded and live content, and Alticast recognizes these
triggers and launches web-based HTML5 applications. These applications can be delivered from web
servers to the screen providing a broadcast solution for interactive TV.
