Seoul S, Korea & Taipei, Taiwan – March 27th, 2017 – ALi Corporation, a leading innovator and developer of set-top box chipsets, and Alticast, a worldwide leader in multi-screen, interactive TV platforms, today announced their partnership to have Alticast’s interactive, end-to-end architecture pre-integrated on ALi STB SoC chipsets. The cross-ecosystem partnership aims to supply the market with seamlessly integrated platforms comprised of hybrid framework middleware and high-performance STB chipsets in order to offer time-to-market deployment acceleration, performance boost and value-added services in response to the changing demands in TV viewing landscapes.
Alticast
is a multi-national leader in software and middleware architectures for
multi-screen and interactive TV solutions. Alticast develops chipset-independent
STB software that brings interactive and personalized elements to viewers. As
subscribers demonstrate changing preferences in TV viewing, Alticast continues
to develop software innovations including cross-device services, robust
application framework, and hybridized features to enrich viewer experiences.
ALi, on the other hand, offers a wide coverage of cost-effective and
high-performance STB chipsets, and integrates user-friendly software porting
interface along with the SoC design. The platform pre-integration between
Alticast and ALi benefits both parties to meet the growth of Pay TV.

providers into the market has driven further fragmentation,” said Dosa Park,
