PeerTV cracks high efficiency video coding for OTT systems
PeerTV, the TV over the internet (OTT) technology solutions
provider, today announced that it has successfully trialled its
next generation set top box using H265 HEVC or High Efficiency
Video Coding to deliver TV over the internet. The new technology
will mean content can be streamed via its set top box using 50% of
the bandwidth previously required for H264 technology. Significant
enhancements to transmission quality have also been reported.
At the same time, PeerTV announced several other important
upgrades to its Android based technology, which now uses quad core
processors, delivering more power for apps and games.
Commenting on the successful deployment of the new technology,
PeerTV CEO Avi Vermus said, "Our next generation OTT TV over the
internet set top box takes us to what we believe to be clear market
leading position within the OTT market - we can now offer OTT
providers a technology solution using Android apps, quad core
technology for power and H265 compression, which delivers far
superior picture and sound quality, whilst using around half the
bandwidth previously needed. Clearly, this opens up the market
considerably and allows us to target countries where OTT TV may not
yet have been considered viable, as these areas may not yet have a
well-developed fast internet infrastructure."
Recognising the increasing convergence between internet, TV and
games, the new PeerTV set top box also offers significant
enhancements to gamers and surfers. A games adapter has been
launched allowing Android games that were originally designed for
touch screen to be played with a standard remote control or
external joystick/gamepad.
Further software upgrades have been made in the area of advanced
apps and TV integration, enabling seamless delivery of TV, whilst
gaming or running apps such as Facebook, browsers and other web
pages.
PeerTV recently announced significant contracts to supply its
set top box to OTT providers servicing the US, Russian, Polish and
Irish markets, both domestically and abroad.
PeerTV was one of the first companies in the market to launch an
Android based OTT set top box bringing together the advantages of
the Android operating system, apps and a quick and smooth user
experience to enable TV or web viewing via a single unit. The
PeerTV package has been carefully designed to meet the unique needs
of the OTT marketplace, delivering a flexible platform that can be
customised both by the end user and by corporate buyers of the
system. PeerTV's technology is expected to be bought by ISPs,
ethnic TV service providers, content providers, cable operators,
mobile operators, the hospitality sector, hospitals and academic
institutions.
