Cinedigm Establishes International Distribution Footprint, Re-Launching the Popular Viewster App Worldwide on Philips Televis...
January 09 2020 - 10:00AM
Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM) announced today through joint efforts with
ZEASN, the re-launch of the Company’s popular Viewster ad-supported
video-on-demand (AVOD) service, now available worldwide via the
leading global television manufacturer Philips. The Viewster app
was developed using Cinedigm’s proprietary Matchpoint Blueprint™
application development platform.
The partnership establishes Cinedigm’s entry
into the international marketplace, while making the Company’s
diverse and eclectic content easily accessible on the major
television manufacturers. In addition to the ZEASN supported
Philips televisions, Cinedigm’s roster of premium digital-first
networks now have wide distribution across all top-tier TV
manufacturers including Samsung, Vizio, Hisense, and LG, among
others.
This successful relaunch is inseparable from
ZEASN's full support, since ZEASN has rich industry experience in
creating, maintaining, and operating smart TV applications, smart
TV app store, and other smart cloud services. Cinedigm and ZEASN
have maintained a good cooperative relationship for a long
time.
The Viewster app is powered by Cinedigm’s
highly-scalable application development platform Matchpoint
Blueprint™, which enables content distributors and content owners
to efficiently and cost-effectively create compelling ad-supported
and subscription-based video streaming services. Matchpoint
Blueprint™ will play a crucial role in the international rollout
and market expansion of the Viewster app, as the Company utilizes
the platform for all of its end-to-end needs in order to enable a
more robust user experience across a wide range of connected
televisions.
"Cooperation with ZEASN to relaunch Viewster App
is a meaningful milestone, and it also presents Cinedigm with an
incredible opportunity to distribute our unique programming
offerings to one of the major television manufacturers in the
world," said Tony Huidor, Cinedigm’s Senior Vice President of
Product & Technology. “Philips’ wide distribution of their
television hardware across major international territories will be
integral to our strategy as we work to establish a global
footprint, introducing both our digital networks as well as our
proprietary Matchpoint Blueprint™ platform to new markets on one of
the world’s leading television brands.”
Jason He, Chief Executive Officer of ZEASN, said
“We are excited that the Viewster App has been successfully
relaunched with the help of ZEASN's services. ZEASN has been
committed to providing the best smart home services for Internet
users around the world. The Viewster App newly built by Cinedigm
will bring a better user experience to Philips' smart TV users, and
will help ZEASN to build a more complete Whale Ecosystem in the
smart home industry.”
