Alticast launches Windmill for hybrid TV

MHP middleware specialist Alticast has launched Windmill, which is described as an end-to-end digital interactive ecosystem for TV operators with support for cable, satellite, DTT, IPTV and hybrid systems.

Windmill uses Alticast’s new altiView user experience to provide an interface that allows content discovery across broadcast and over-the-top content, recommendations and an integrated social experience.

Windmill is built on Alticast’s altiPlatform middleware core, providing compatibility with existing systems and pre-integrated support for existing content protection solutions, including Alticast’s altiProtect CAS and DRM and the other major vendors deployed in the market today, according to the company.
