Netgem and Tvinci combine to provide turnkey multiscreen OTT
TV solution
IP&TV World Forum, London, UK – March 22 2011 – Netgem, an IPTV technology leader, and Tvinci, a provider of centralized cross-device content and user experience management platforms, today announced that the two companies have developed a joint Over-the-Top TV (OTT TV) solution for the delivery of linear and on-demand video. The new turnkey solution enables operators to extend their reach beyond their traditional boundaries and allow new value added services in the home, whether on or offline.
The development means that operators can now benefit from the unique connected TV experience powered by Netgem client centric technology, as well as from a consistent and convergent multidevices media experience supported by Tvinci systems. This integrated platform offers quick and secured deployments of disruptive hybrid TV content in an increasingly competitive environment where time to market and cross devices remain key drivers of differentiation.
“By integrating our technology with Tvinci’s multi-device platform, we facilitate the emergence of new types of TV content offers and business models,” said Yann Courqueux, Netgem’s CMO. “The integration of Tvinci’s solution into our software platform was smooth and easy, proving the quality and openness of both solutions.”
With Tvinci’s solution integrated into Netgem’s software, end users will benefit from fast and fluid navigation, optimizing their TV experience and allowing them to enjoy multiscreen by starting watching content on one device and continuing on another one, among other must-have applications.
Tvinci’s VP marketing, Yonatan Sela, added: “This pre-integrated solution can serve as a unique differentiator for service providers and a significant added value for viewers. They can now offer their subscribers a consistent, personalized viewing experience across TV, smartphone, tablet, PC and other connected devices.”
