Mediabox Platform is a state-of-the-art hybrid digital TV receiver and DVR that acts as a central hub for a subscriber’s connected home entertainment needs and provides multi-room and multi-screen functionality.
Mediabox is designed to make it easy for operators to launch TV anywhere services. The platform has a consistent user interface across all devices and its innovative FollowMe function makes it easy for viewers to switch between devices in the home and on the move, yet seamlessly experience the same live TV, DVR recordings and OTT services.
Peter Balchin, CEO at ADB commented, “The world of TV anywhere has now arrived. Up to now it has been a complex proposition for operators to deliver multi-screen and multi-room. With Mediabox this has all changed. Not only have we incorporated all the features required to future-proof the platform and extend its ROI, but we have also ensured the platform is easy for operators to deploy and easy for viewers to use. We believe this will be the key to its long-term success.”
Offering advanced home gateway functionality, Mediabox seamlessly combines content from satellite, terrestrial and Internet/IPTV sources and removes one of the main obstacles to a true multi-screen deployment: content protection. With Mediabox, operators have the reassurance that content is protected across all devices at all times, making it possible for consumers to easily access, manage and view content on authorised devices both inside and outside the home.
Mediabox features include:
- Consistent ADB Carbo™ user interface across all devices;
- SmoothView™ DVR experience;
- OTT services (e.g. music on demand and video on demand);
- Ability to use mobile devices as a remote control;
- Multi-room with FollowMe functionality, which lets the subscriber pause TV in one room, and continue watching in another;
- Multi-screen and TV everywhere.
ADB will be exhibiting at the upcoming IBC2013, September 12 – 17, RAI Amsterdam. Drop by the ADB stand # 5.B48.
