At NAB 2017, the two companies are demonstrating how pay-TV
operators can harness the power of the cloud to deliver ZoneTV’s
new Dynamic Channels on existing and next-generation STBs. Using
ActiveVideo CloudTV StreamCast, ZoneTV’s lineup of more than 20
free and premium channels can be integrated into pay-TV program
guides, so consumers can view ZoneTV content without changing
television inputs or remote controls.
“This is a very important moment for ZoneTV,” said Jeff Weber,
CEO, ZoneTV. “Literally with the push of a button, consumers can
access ZoneTV Dynamic Channels alongside traditional linear and VOD
channels, thus enhancing the operator’s ability to seamlessly
integrate curated content with pay-TV content.”
“The flexibility to tap into expansive libraries of digital
content creates new opportunities for pay-TV operators, online
video providers and subscribers,” said Jeff Miller, president and
CEO of ActiveVideo. “By empowering companies such as ZoneTV to gain
access to installed and future STBs, ActiveVideo is providing the
foundation for new content paradigms that can unlock
next-generation revenue streams for pay-TV operators.”
ZoneTV’s current services are already carried by
numerous U.S. and Canadian pay-TV service providers. The
programming company curates its digital-first content into enhanced
Dynamic Channels, eliminating the need by viewers to hunt for
online content or pay for access to multiple sites or devices,
turning this incredible content into an exciting and easy-to-use
television experience.
ActiveVideo CloudTV StreamCast uses cloud virtualization to
provide access to new content libraries for pay-TV operators, and
to pay-TV subscribers for online video providers. StreamCast
bridges the Digital Rights Management (DRM) and video format gaps
between online and pay-TV operators in the cloud. The content and
the user interface are delivered as a single interactive MPEG or
H.264 video stream via the pay-TV network, resulting in a rich,
seamless user experience.
ZoneTV’s Dynamic Channels delivered by ActiveVideo will be
demonstrated in the ARRIS booth SU1916 at NAB 2017.
