Don’t look now, but our still-to-be-launched Ambient TV is on a roll. Just a couple of weeks after it was shortlisted for the CSI Innovation Awards – among the highlights of the upcoming IBC Show in Amsterdam – Ambient TV will be previewed for many of the industry’s biggest technology movers and shakers at the invitation-only annual CableLabs Summer Conference.
As we make the case
about how end-to-end solutions built around Alticast products can power next
generation user experiences, let’s be clear about one thing – at CableLabs
Summer Conference, Ambient TV will be our Exhibit A. We’ve given it a cloak-and-dagger internal
code name – Altiview Z – that’s in keeping with the exclusive nature of the
CableLabs event.
For those of you
who aren’t headed to the August 6-9 event, here’s what you’ll be missing (or at
least as much as we can tell you): The end-to-end ability to deliver both
pay-TV network and OTT content. Flexibility
to run on both RDK and Android platforms.
And unparalleled deployment versatility that meets the needs of managed,
unmanaged and hybrid systems, as well as MVPD networks.
While Ambient TV
will be our star of the show at CableLabs Summer Conference, we’ll also be
demonstrating how operators can convert online video feeds into linear TV
channels – complete with a presence in the operator’s guide. In a joint demo with Petrichor Networks
we’ll show how pay-TV operators can use this capability to offer more channels
to Millennials and other viewers, without incurring high programming
costs.
We look forward to
providing a peek behind the curtain at how our latest innovations are helping
the pay-TV industry meet customer needs and generate new revenue. And whether
you’re headed there or not, keep your ear to the ground for more product and
customer news around Ambient TV as we approach IBC next month in Amsterdam.
