Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today announces that it is
working with Proximus, Belgium's leading telecommunications
company, to expand its multiscreen cloud DVR (digital video
recording) service which includes an array of exciting features for
consumers. Proximus previously had deployed Ericsson's Multiscreen
Headend to enable the delivery of enhanced services to its
customers, including time and place shifting capabilities.
Jean-Marc Capitaine, Director Consumer Product
& Solutions at Proximus, says: "At Proximus we are dedicated to
giving our viewers the best possible service and guaranteeing their
enjoyment through the delivery of outstanding content experiences.
Flexibility is a must-have for today's TV consumers as they look to
watch their favorite programs both inside and outside the home, on
a variety of devices. Ericsson's expertise is helping us to offer
exactly this level of flexibility, giving our viewers the
opportunity to enjoy a service that they can mold around their
connected lifestyles."
Proximus viewers can enjoy seamless and consistent
experiences on all screens, whether it's a TV, tablet, PC or
smartphone. The new features include the ability to:
-
Watch content on one screen and then continue it
on a different screen
-
Record content on a smartphone for later viewing
on a tablet
-
Swipe content with one simple hand movement from
a tablet/smartphone to the TV
-
Use a mobile device as a virtual remote
control
-
Live TV, time-shifted Replay and recordings
viewing experiences across all screens
Itai Tomer, Head of Cloud DVR, Ericsson, says:
"Ericsson's Media Vision 2020 predicts that by the year 2020, time
spent watching on-demand and time-shifted content will have reached
50:50 parity with linear and live TV. This shift to a media
landscape where viewers are demanding increased access to video on
demand services is causing TV service providers to overhaul their
offerings to reflect the latest consumer trends. At Ericsson we are
providing our customers with the technology to help them meet these
challenges, ensuring that they can achieve success in an
increasingly complex industry."
