Alticast Showcases Latest Video Delivery Solutions at CSTB 2015

Alticast's Latest Solutions Simplify the Delivery of New Video Services

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Alticast, a global partner for the delivery of media entertainment, will show satellite, cable and terrestrial operators, as well as other telecommunications providers attending the upcoming CSTB Exhibition in Russia how its latest solutions can simplify the development and delivery of new, more personalized, multiscreen TV viewing experiences. The demonstrations will take place throughout the show (January 27-29) in Moscow at the Crocus Expo Centre in booth 509, Hall 4.

Alticast will showcase its latest solutions at the show, which cover satellite, cable, terrestrial and IPTV video delivery as well as enabling operators to add tablet and mobile capabilities for multi-screen functionality.  The company will particularly focus on its innovative Cloud User Interface (UI) solution and its AltiPlex™ Cloud Services Platform (CSP).

"The advanced solutions we will show at CSTB 2015 are ideal for Russian service providers that must continually offer new and compelling video services to their subscribers while containing costs," said Tiaan Schutte, Alticast's President for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).  "Our solutions overcome the inherent complexity of multiscreen video delivery to truly simplify the deployment of new services, enabling operators to focus on innovating new services for their subscribers."

Alticast's key demonstrations at CSTB 2015 will include:

  • AltiView 2™, Alticast's advanced user experience (UX) dynamically presents the UI based on subscribers' past viewing behavior and leverages real-time viewing statistics from all subscribers to highlight trending content. This approach maximizes content discovery while minimizing user interaction, thereby embracing the traditional lean-back TV viewing experience while driving content consumption.
  • Alticast's Cloud UI application provides a thin client/server model for delivering the user experience to all devices in the home. This architecture reduces demands on the STB processor and memory by pre-processing the UI in the Cloud, enabling cable operators to use 'thin client' STBs. Operators can take advantage of Alticast's Cloud UI to deploy new user experiences (UX) much quicker. It also provides the opportunity to present a variety of UX in a household, for example a child-based, a sports or a movie experience.
  • Alticast staff will also brief attendees on an end-to-end solution that is comprised of the AltiView 1 fully featured UX, AltiPlatform™ market proven middleware, AltiProtect™ integrated content security and AltiPlex Cloud Services Platform which performs all the 'heavy-lifting' for delivering a robust user UX. This package is easily operator branded and includes a broad set of features to select for extending a variety of services to the subscriber.
