SeaChange Unveils cView UI/UX Software to Provide Pay-TV Operators a Smooth Bridge between Legacy, IP, and OTT/Multiscreen Wo...
12 September 2018 - 11:00PM
Video solutions pioneer SeaChange International (NASDAQ: SEAC),
today announced the launch of its cView user experience software
that empowers pay-TV operators and video service providers to
quickly spin up new offerings across a broad range of viewer
devices with less complexity, cost and risk than previously
possible. SeaChange cView is the complementary endpoint software
element of SeaChange’s cFlow portfolio of video management
solutions, facilitating rapid new feature development and
deployment.
SeaChange cView addresses one of the pay-TV operator’s primary
challenges – how to continue serving their Set-Top-Box (STB)
subscriber base with minimal disruption, while adding IP-enabled
multiscreen services to retain and add new subscribers. SeaChange
designed cView to support a gradual, viewer-driven migration from
traditional, proprietary STB platforms to enhanced services offered
on newer hybrid and OTT-enabled TV devices, such as Apple TV and
those powered by Android TV; a movement from costly, closed, and
managed operator networks to more efficient, unmanaged OTT
services, with the ability to bridge the two. cView provides a
consistent user interface and experience, whether on a traditional
STB, hybrid STB, streaming media device, mobile device, laptop, or
smart TV, so operators can serve the needs of the broad array of
subscriber types with a common, branded experience.
cView’s support for Android Operator Tier (AOT) further enhances
the offering for pay-TV providers by allowing them to serve their
branded experience directly from the launch screen. AOT also
provides subscribers the benefits of a Google environment such as
an app store, notifications, and Google Assistant, while also
giving operators the ability to offer a personalized, branded
experience.
“Our customers across the globe face a common risk and shared
opportunity inherent in the migration to multiscreen/IP-empowered
video experiences. cView supports a broad range of platforms, so it
offers the opportunity to migrate their subscribers and enhance
their network incrementally, with minimal risk,” said Marek
Kielczewski, SeaChange CTO. “With cView, and its support for
Android Operator Tier, we aim to enable service providers to
improve their services for existing STB-oriented subscribers, while
offering capabilities that appeal to an increasingly mobile
viewership.”
The cView client presents a consistent look, feel and experience
across browsers, mobile devices running on iOS, Android,
traditional STBs running on Linux and RDK, connected TVs and
devices running on Apple’s tvOS, and the latest IP and hybrid STBs
running on Android TV. In addition, by combining cView with
SeaChange’s cBridge solution or the PanoramiC end-to-end IP
management and delivery platform, operators can rapidly launch new
features and services in response to viewers' demands. SeaChange
also has extensive experience integrating UX software to legacy STB
platforms.
“The personalized user experience is today’s video provider
battleground,” added Kielczewski. “The providers who best
understand their customers, and have a platform which allows them
to rapidly serve their evolving demands will be best positioned to
succeed. At SeaChange we’re facilitating the adaptability,
scalability and service expandability that today’s operators
require.”
SeaChange will be demonstrating cView in OTT/Multiscreen and
Android Operator Tier mode, along with the new cFlow™ portfolio of
video management solutions and the PanoramiC™ end-to-end video
management and delivery platform, at the IBC show, stand
1.F70.
