OTT enabler Vewd has launched its OS on Android TV for the first time.
The company says Vewd OS speeds up time-to-market and reduces operators’ Capex with a turnkey experience and extensive product modules that adhere to core Android TV requirements.
This extended functionality includes:
- A holistic homescreen experience for Android TV’s Operator Tier, designed to provide a cinematic, video-first home screen, completely managed from Vewd Cloud.
- A complete OTT application environment loaded with key regional and local apps that complement, yet extend, Google Play.
- A state-of-the-art Electronic Programming Guide (EPG), integrating live broadcast or OTT content. The EPG is further enriched with both broadcast and OTT metadata and supports critical features such as “start-over” and “catch-up” in conjunction with the operator head-end.
- Extensive platform data and analytics available through Vewd Cloud, providing the operator with critical customer behavior information.
- Modern monetisation features to capture existing and emerging recurring OTT revenue streams.
“Vewd OS for Android TV was crafted to complement existing Android TV features and requirements while giving operators and manufacturers the flexibility and control they require to launch successful market propositions,” said Aneesh Rajaram, CEO, Vewd.
