"Managing the Converging TV Experience from Living Room to
On-the-Go" panel at 2nd Screen Sunday NAB Show 2014, alongside
industry leaders from Civolution, MESA, TiVo, Turner, Videology and
Watchwith
Synacor Inc. (Nasdaq:SYNC), the leading provider of next-gen
startpages, homescreens, award-winning TV Everywhere solutions and
cloud-based Identity Management (IDM) services, across multiple
devices for cable, satellite, telecom and consumer electronics
companies in the U.S. and abroad, today announced its VP of Sales,
Solutions, Greg Jarvis, will be speaking on the "Managing the
Converging TV Experience from Living Room to On-the-Go" panel at
2nd Screen Sunday NAB Show 2014 at 1:35 p.m. PDT on Sunday, April
6, at Encore Hotel, Las Vegas.
This session will dig deep into the world of screens, as the
diverse panel discusses their battle scars and successes in
managing video convergence, and shares their views on where this is
all headed as the definition of "TV" continues to change. Perhaps
the biggest challenge is creating a user experience that works
equally well across all screens and satisfies a plethora of
different viewing experiences — from launching a video in the
living room, to viewing on-the-go, to companion viewing in front of
a larger 1st screen. The challenges range from creating the right
interface, to providing seamless functionality, to ensuring that
the content is properly monetized across each screen in a way that
resonates with consumers and advertisers alike.
Synacor's Greg Jarvis brings more than 25 years of new media
experience — spanning the U.S., Canada, Latin America and Europe —
to the 2nd Screen Sunday panel and will focus on auto
authentication as a means to dramatically reduce abandonment rates
among pay-TV subscribers accessing TV Everywhere long-form video,
as well as other provider content and services.
Other speakers will include Alex Terpstra, CEO, Civolution; Evan
Young, Senior Director of Product Marketing, TiVo; Ron Yerkes,
Senior Director Product Management, Emerging Technology, Turner;
Brent Gaskamp, SVP Corporate Development, North America, Videology;
Zane Vella, CEO and Founder, Watchwith; and panel moderator, Guy
Finley, Executive Director 2nd Screen Society/MESA.
Jarvis and the entire Synacor team are continuing to innovate in
the TV Everywhere space and develop marquee solutions for pay-TV
providers across the country. For example, Synacor launched its
Cloud ID Auto Authentication solution during Sochi and
reported a dramatic drop in TV Everywhere abandonment, coming in
under 10 percent (compared to a typical TVE abandonment rate of
approximately 50 percent).
