Synamedia integrates with Android TV

Synamedia has announced integration of its video offerings with Android TV.

The company has also announced that it has extended its Infinite cloud TV platform to support Android TV devices. 

Synamedia has developed pre-integrated solutions including user interfaces, watermarking and broadcast/OTT security, Clarissa business insights, and Synamedia Iris addressable advertising by using Google’s Broadcast Stack for hybrid set top boxes. 

The company promises that video service providers can now choose from its pre-integrated services to build an Android TV solution that best meets their needs and across a range of STB hardware.

Nick Thexton, Synamedia CTO, said: “Our agnostic approach is designed to bring the best of Synamedia innovation to all platform eco-systems. Now, with this Android TV initiative, we are delivering on that commitment. For many years we have worked on Android TV applications and bespoke security integrations. With these latest solutions, we are making it easy and affordable for customers to realise all the benefits of the Android TV ecosystem, including its wealth of applications, voice control and smart integration. Importantly, using these pre-integrated Synamedia solutions – either individually or as a bundle – operators can go live in just six months while cutting development costs.”
