JVC Roku TVs Coming to the U.S. Later This
Year
Roku, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROKU) today announced Shenzhen MTC Co. (MTC)
has joined the Roku TV™ licensing program to build smart TVs under
the JVC brand. MTC will leverage TV hardware reference designs and
the Roku operating system (OS) to create a line of JVC smart TVs
with the first HD JVC Roku TVs expected to ship in the U.S. later
this year.
“Roku is America’s #1 streaming platform because it is
incredibly easy to use and offers access to countless movies and TV
episodes all from the home screen,” said John Araki, Chief
Technology Officer of JVC. “We are looking forward to marrying our
longstanding history of innovation with Roku’s popular smart TV
platform as we aim to improve our customers’ everyday life with
smartly designed products making life a little more fun.”
“For more than 90 years JVC has been delivering quality video
and audio products and we look forward to working with MTC to grow
the JVC smart TV presence in the US,” said Chas Smith, general
manager of Roku TV & Players. “We know most TV manufacturers
will license a TV OS and are proud of our low-cost purpose-built
solution and the level of collaboration and support that we offer
our partners while delivering a superior experience to
consumers.”
The Roku TV licensing program offers TV OEM partners an easy,
efficient, and cost-effective way to build smart TVs that consumers
love to use. Roku provides low-cost hardware reference designs so
TV brands can offer a best-in-class smart TV solution at
competitive price points. The Roku® operating system provides
consumers with access to an ever-growing library of content as well
as regular, automatic software updates so TV OEMs can be sure they
are offering the latest and greatest features to customers.
