Tvinci, the Pay Over-the-Top video platform provider, is powering Filmotech’s Dutch online video portal, Ximon.nl. The recently launched Pay-TV service features an extensive range of content, offering users the ability to view a variety of recent and classic films, documentaries or TV dramas across PC and MAC, with a further expansion expected to other devices including Mobile and Connected TV. An additional 1500 hours of content is also due to be added to the service within the next 12 months. The Ximon service combines Tvinci’s interactive social engagement features together with the integration of a widely held local payment method in The Netherlands called iDEAL which, alongside usage of other payment methods like credit cards and PayPal, provides consumers with greater flexibility. To coincide with this deployment, Tvinci has appointed a new country manager in the Netherlands.
