Net Insight's Sye Earns Outstanding BTR Diamond Technology Review Score
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
True Live OTT solution awarded four Diamonds in Broadband Technology Report's
2016 Diamond Technology Reviews.
Stockholm, Sweden - Net Insight, the leading provider in media transport and
resource scheduling, today announces that its Sye solution, has achieved a high
score of 4 out of 5 in the BTR Diamond Technology Review awards. Sye, which is
the world's first and only true live OTT streaming technology, solves the issues
of both delay and synchronization in delivering OTT content across multiple
screens, enabling a new world of monetization possibilities.
Today live OTT content being viewed on different devices and screens are not in
step with live linear broadcast transmissions, or with each other. This lack of
synchronicity is spoiling the live television experience, as audiences watching
live OTT video are not able to view the same content at exactly the same time.
Sye solves this by enabling frame-accurate synchronization with extremely low
delay and no buffering.
The BTR Diamond Technology Reviews recognize some of the top products and
solutions available to the cable industry as determined by a panel of cable
telecommunications engineering experts.
"Diamond Judges examined each product for their potential impact on the market
both in respect of innovation and for the commercial opportunities they
present," said Rob Stuehrk Publisher of Broadband Technology Report. "Net
Insight's Sye is clearly a transformational product, and the opportunities that
it can potentially open up for incremental revenue streams and the possibility
to drive new types of audience engagement, the likes of which have been
impossible to achieve in the past, is what made this solution stand out."
By harmonizing live content delivery to all screens, Sye opens up new and
exciting opportunities to create a better quality of experience (QoE), allows
for more engaging and interactive live TV to be generated, and enables media
companies across the entire industry to monetize live content in unprecedented
ways. Rights holders, for instance, can provide harmonized multi-screen
experiences, allowing them to show complementary as well as more personalized
content on the second screen, in sync with main broadcast feeds, enabling
content owners to reach out directly to consumers without "cannibalizing"
revenue from existing rights holders. Moreover, this greatly enhances the
overall viewing experience, driving viewers to first screen events and opens up
a conduit to generate revenue from the second screen.
Also, by allowing audiences to select the second screen content they want to
watch, such as driver-cams and player cams during live sports events, in sync
with live linear TV, Sye also enhances viewer engagement, and opens up the
possibility to add live statistics, live real-time recommendations and
alternative commentary, as well as offering real time betting, voting and
polling. Also, if a viewer wants to see a second screen point of view camera
angle on the first screen, Sye allows them to seamlessly flip between content
with a simple swipe, providing a new type of live viewing experience that keeps
audiences engaged and active. Furthermore, a synchronized delivery to all
screens creates the opportunity for more integrated social interaction around
live events, enabling viewer communities to be created, which can be a real boon
in terms of customer loyalty, reducing churn and attracting new subscribers.
"The score awarded for Sye from the BTR Diamond Technology review panel
reinforces the value and commitment Net Insight places on developing new and
innovative products," said Per Lindgren, senior vice president of Live OTT at
Net Insight. "To achieve a score of 4 is indicative of Sye's ground-breaking
qualities, highlighting why this is such an exceptional product. It will make
the second screen a platform for audience engagement, offering new levels of
interactivity and personalized TV delivery, and will have a huge impact across
the media and broadcast industry."
