Comprehensive Metadata Offering, Rovi Sports,
Drives New User Experiences and Dynamic Discovery of Sports
Programing Across the Globe
CES — Rovi Corporation (NASDAQ: ROVI) today introduced
Rovi Sports, a one-of-a-kind metadata product that drives new,
personalized discovery experiences before, during and after the
game. Powered by the Rovi Knowledge Graph Engine, Rovi Sports
provides extensive descriptive information about sports, leagues,
teams and players and will enable consumers to identify the most
interesting plays of the game in real-time.
Unlike any other metadata provider today, Rovi powers the entire
entertainment ecosystem by connecting related content from multiple
media types including TV, movies, sports, music, games and books.
By linking the world of sports with other media categories, Rovi
Sports enables service providers, device manufacturers, portals,
application developers, and other sports rights holders to drive
consumption and engage sports fans by connecting them to other
types of media beyond the game itself. With insight gathered from
the Rovi Knowledge Graph Engine, Rovi will power seamless
navigation to the most memorable sports moments with new
applications including over-the-top (OTT) linking to live content,
notable plays and athlete career highlights. Rovi also provides
live statistics such as real-time scores and roster changes, as
well as real-time schedule updates that can be used to adjust DVR
settings to accommodate shifting game start and end times.
“For centuries, sports have defined cultures and societies
around the world, representing an enormous percentage of
entertainment consumption. This is especially true in the age of
digital viewing, with 75 percent of all sports content being
consumed on smartphones, smart TVs and tablets,” said Kathy
Weidman, senior vice president and general manager for metadata,
Rovi. “As the leader in entertainment metadata, Rovi is committed
to applying our dynamic metadata capabilities to categories that
are the most meaningful to viewers. Sports fans are fiercely
passionate and loyal to their favorite athletes and teams, and we
are excited to be part of the ecosystem that will enrich the
viewing experience for fans as they enjoy their favorite sporting
events.”
Rovi Sports provides comprehensive global sports metadata for
60,000 of the world’s most popular sporting events, including the
Olympics. Rovi delivers traditional metadata such as team
standings, rosters, player profiles and live action shots, and
enhances it with dynamic data services providing in-game context
and OTT support of full games and highlights all tied together by
the unique Rovi ID. Offering in-depth Olympics metadata, Rovi
Sports will power country-specific stories about champions and OTT
links to highlights by event, country and athlete to engage with
fans on a deeper level. Additionally, it delivers real-time
schedule updates, so DVR settings can be adjusted and viewers never
miss the end of the game during the crucial moments in overtime.
Rovi Sports enables service providers, multi-system operators,
consumer electronics manufacturers and content providers to create
and deliver immersive and interactive experiences that bring sports
fans even closer to their favorite teams and athletes.
