Introducing CloudTV

Deliver the user experiences subscribers expect, to an installed base of legacy set-top boxes, with CloudTV

Subscribers today expect rich, graphical user interfaces and VoD apps as a core part of their TV viewing - but that presents a challenge to operators, with millions of set-top boxes (STB’s) deployed which were never designed to deliver those experiences. Despite their best efforts, Pay TV providers are facing difficulties with:

• Rolling new STB’s out across their subscriber base as it takes years and doesn’t deliver a consistent experience to all subscribers.
• Device upgrades impact CapEx and OpEx, with purchase and deployment of new devices.
• Investing in the STB only buys a little more time, as the technical demands of new video services continue to outpace the capabilities of the hardware.

Providers need a tried, tested and problem-free solution to overcome these challenges while continuing to leverage their current installed base of devices.  That’s why ActiveVideo created CloudTV; enabling service providers to preserve the value of their pay-TV bundle whilst adding fresh features such as rich graphical user interfaces, VoD storefront applications and Live mosaics.
