SnapTV… Cruising The World Of IPTV (SatBroadcasting™)

[SatNews] SnapTV has supplied The World, the largest private yacht on Earth and the only residential community at sea, with a complete Infotainment system.

The turnkey IP-based solution, which is being demo’d at IBC at Stand IP571, provides residents, guests and staff with web browsing, TV and video on-demand (VOD). The World, managed by ResidenSea, is a 644-foot, 12-deck vessel, similar in size to many large passenger ships, which operates as a community. It is owned by its residents who hail from over 40 different countries. Most are onboard periodically as the ship continuously circumnavigates the globe. The SnapTV system provides real-time messaging to residents, guests and staff; ship information; on-demand movies; and a large number of global television channels, enabling viewers a wide choice of local language TV. Broadcast TV programs from multiple countries are delivered via satellites, allowing them to be viewed on-demand by the number of different nationalities on-board. The SnapTV system also offers tiered channel packages for viewers. The World’s state-of-the art TV service provides staff and crew information, training and health and safety videos.
