SEOUL,
South Korea, July 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- SK Planet (CEO Lee
Hansang, www.skplanet.com) announced the expansion of
global services for the cloud-based solution 'RB cloud VCS'
targeting the global PAY TV and OTT markets.
The 'RB Cloud' solution is a high-performance application
virtualization service that caters to a diverse range of devices,
including set-top boxes, smart TVs, OTT platforms, AR glasses, and
VR head-mounted displays. Notably, this innovative solution
delivers dynamic services with seamless UI support across various
device types. Moreover, the service is characterized by a
centralized management feature that significantly enhances system
distribution and update efficiency. Praised as a flagship
technology of the next generation, the cloud-based UI surpasses the
pre-existing native UI or web UI technologies by offering advanced
functionalities compared to its predecessors.
In December 2023, SK Planet
proudly introduced the next-generation VCS (Video Cloud Streaming)
UI/UX featuring a variety of 3D effects and enhanced motion
capabilities to SK Broadband, marking an industry-first milestone.
This upgrade significantly boosted customer satisfaction by
creating a flawless service environment conducive to AI
implementation and hyper-personalization technologies across all TV
platforms, irrespective of set-top box performance. The new VCS
implementation resulted in remarkable 2.6-fold increase in menu
navigation speed and up to an 8-fold increase in vertical movement
speed, delivering users an unparalleled premium content experience
with enhanced interaction, response speed, and stunning 3D motion
visualization.
Additionally, leveraging AI curation technology, customized
hyper-personalized services like tailored content recommendations,
viewing history tracking, and seamless shopping integration have
been made available.
SK Planet is actively collaborating with international PAY TV
operators to customize its cloud-based UI solution for different
global regions, with plans underway for commercial launches in
Europe and India. The company is scheduled to showcase
its cutting-edge technology at the upcoming IBC exhibition in
the Netherlands in September 2024, accompanied by a technology
briefing session for prospective overseas clients.
In the future, SK Planet plans to expand its clientele to
include Smart TVs and to upgrade its products with added AI
functionalities.
"Our RB Cloud's VCS technology streamlines innovation,
representing a secure and efficient solution towards operation"
emphasized the head of SK Planet's Media Solutions Business Group.
"The technology has garnered widespread acclaim for its ability to
support a diverse range of applications without replacing the box
for PAY TV operators previously hampered by box performance
limitations," he added.
Previously, in 2014, SK Planet released the cloud-based screen
virtualization technology media solution 'RB cloud,' which performs
all computations on the server, supplying it to IPTV, satellite,
and cable companies. Currently, this technology is applied to 95%
of South Korea set-top
devices.
