Fan TV Evolves into a Modular Platform that
Service Providers, Developers and Channel Partners can Deploy as an
End-To-End Solution or Integrate as Stand-Alone Features for
Entertainment Discovery
CES — Rovi Corporation (NASDAQ: ROVI) today introduced
its advanced Fan TV platform ushering in the next-generation of
entertainment discovery. The platform integrates the award-winning
Fan TV with Rovi’s renowned Personalized Discovery Solution,
consisting of entertainment metadata, contextual search and
recommendations and natural language conversation services. With
the fully integrated platform, Rovi’s Fan TV is one of the
industry’s most advanced offerings that powers entertainment
discovery and content consumption across any screen via set-top
box, connected TV, mobile, tablet and web.
Rovi’s Fan TV platform is one of the most flexible platforms on
the market today. Available as an end-to-end software solution or
as modular API components, the platform delivers a simple and
powerful navigation and personalized entertainment experience
across multiple screens and services—all designed to strengthen and
differentiate existing providers’ offerings.
“The power of Rovi’s Fan TV platform is that it enables global
service providers, developers and our channel partners to tap into
our market-leading technologies either as a full-service solution
or for a specific feature to improve their own products,” said
Gilles BianRosa, vice president and general manager Fan TV, Rovi.
“The need for powerful and simple discovery has grown dramatically
as entertainment options have multiplied to include hundreds of
channels along with a sea of apps and On Demand catalogs. The
strength of the Fan TV platform lies not only in each component
being best-of-breed, but also in the flexibility that enables
customers to customize and implement the platform in a variety of
different ways.”
Service providers, content owners, developers and channel
partners are able to select key features and functionality for
integration into their product offerings via Fan TV’s turnkey APIs
and SDKs. Global operators can deploy Fan TV solutions through a
variety of go-to-market models:
- APIs: The Fan TV platform is
fully modular for service providers looking to complement and
enhance existing software solutions, as well as hardware and
middleware channel partners wanting to enrich and differentiate
their offerings. It includes advanced discovery services like
contextually aware and semantically intelligent personalized search
and recommendations, content and device management features, and
rich entertainment metadata. It also offers deep subscriber
analytics, a natural language conversational interface, as well as
360 discovery across linear TV, video-on-demand, DVR and
over-the-top services.
- Apps (TV & Mobile): Fan TV
has a cross-screen suite of apps that work together as one cohesive
entertainment system. Fully customizable iOS and Android mobile
apps will keep subscribers connected to the entertainment they love
on-the-go. In addition, providers can deploy Fan TV as a TV app on
various streaming devices, including a recently launched Android TV
app, with others coming soon. The Fan TV apps are ideal for
providers looking to quickly execute a “skinny bundle”
offering.
- OS: Fan TV powers hybrid or
Internet Protocol (IP) set-top-boxes with live TV as the
centerpiece and a cutting-edge interface, providing 360 discovery
across live, video-on-demand, DVR and over-the-top services. Fan TV
utilizes Rovi’s rich, dynamic entertainment metadata and
market-leading personalized search, recommendations, and
conversation services fueled by Rovi’s Knowledge Graph.
Key components of the Fan TV platform – such as search,
recommendation and conversation services – are already being
utilized by market leading service providers, including Dish and
Cablevision. In addition, Rovi is working with several channel
partners to develop and sell next-generation guides powered by the
Fan TV platform.
