WISI, a global leader in broadband technology, announced the launch of its new Multi-TV Video service, designed to offer perfectly synchronized video playback with simplified control across commercial environments such as sports bars, restaurants, stadiums, corporate offices, etc.
This service caters to the long-standing challenge in multi-screen venues such as, inconsistent playback timing across TVs tuned to the same content. By converting adaptive bitrate (ABR) streams into multicast IP or QAM, WISI's Multi-TV service it ensures that every screen reflects the same frame at the same time, showcasing a unified viewing experience for guests as well as for staff.
The key features are as follows:
- Accurately Synced Playback - Convert ABR streams to multicast IP or QAM for frame-accurate alignment across all the screens, to show unified experience.
- Mobile App Control - By a simple phone or tablet interface, assign content to TVs, no remotes required.
- Active Channel Streaming (ACS) - Reflect only actively watched content, lowering bandwidth as well as enabling higher-quality feeds.
- End-to-End Content Protection - There are navigations to re-encrypt to Pro:Idiom and AES-128.
- Centralized Management - Streamline operations and reduce truck rolls with remote monitoring and API-based controls.
The Multi-TV Video Solution is compatible with existing coax or IP infrastructure as well as supports a variety of deployment models to suit different venue sizes as well as budgets. Whether in a small sports bar or a large stadium, operators can deliver synchronized, secure, and bandwidth-efficient video without overhauling their network.
