Aspiro TV—A New Hybrid Handle (OTT—Of SatBroadcasting™ Interest)


[SatNews] The company has launched its ‘TV Everywhere’ multiscreen client apps for OTT video solutions as a packaged product, which will be known as Hybrid Apps.

The new application suite will use the benefits of HTML5 within natively coded applications for common implementation across devices, offering a quick time to market across a growing number of internet connected screens. The applications also offer plugins for DRM solutions across the device range.

Aspiro TV’s Hybrid Apps, which will be offered across internet connected devices including smartphones, tablets, PC-Mac, connected TVs and game consoles, can be localised or white-labeled for service and content providers, broadcasters and network operators. The company’s unique single mediation layer ‘The Media Access API’ enables integration of Hybrid Apps to existing video platforms worldwide.

“Aspiro TV focuses on maintaining a strong device support that is often missing in OTT services. We add the benefit of tested and innovative design, which comes from our Scandinavian roots.” says Espen Erikstad, CEO of Aspiro TV. He continues “Our Multi-Screen Hybrid applications have been adopted by a number of reputable broadcasters and carriers in Europe within in the last few months and we will be making further announcements in the near future.”
