Consortium brings TV Everywhere concept to LatAm

A consortium comprising Comtelsat Networks, Tvinci, IDPoint and Grey Juice Lab is working on a project dubbed 'TV 360', to bring the TV Everywhere concept to Latin America. The service aims to enable content owners and operators to offer VoD and live video online under any business model. The partners seek to enable producers, content aggregators, pay TV operators, internet portals and ISPs to generate income from premium online content. The service is available for implementation with any internet-connected device, including PCs, game consoles, tablets, smartphones, connected TVs and set-top boxes. The offer combines content, technology and service, V2M reports, citing Tvinci's co-founder Ido Wiesenberg. Operators using the joint platform will leverage Tvinci's content and user-experience management systems to create a personalized viewing experience for their viewers across devices by centrally managing video assets, business rights and viewer experience through a single platform. IDPoint supports the platform through hardware architecture, and Grey Juice Lab provides content management, bringing premieres of Hollywood movies, transactional VoD and subscription packages for VoD, all rolled out under the Comtelsat TV 360 offering.
