Edit TV

Interactive Video Platform provider for pay TV industry

Edit TV is an interactive video platform for the Pay TV industry that tags events or scenes within any video content, and then distributes those tags to applications, interactive services and user interfaces on TVs, tablets, mobiles and computers. Edit TV's Media Platform integrates within cable, satellite, IPTV and OTT service provider video workflows to create new interactive TV experiences based on 'event' driven TV- allowing consumers to navigate live and on-demand content on the TV/STB, multiscreen and integrated companion applications, around key content like sports, news and movies. The 'events' are created by the integration of scene based metadata, and exposing it to client frameworks via video overlays and navigation. The technology allows video consumers to navigate and personalise video content by 'scene' or event- this could be creating football highlight playlists or setting clip preferences for favourite golfers, movie actors, or news events. The application components can integrate with set top box on IPTV, cable and satellite (using the network, buffer or PVR), second screen integration with the set top box to control the TV or stand alone OTT (Android, iOS, PC/Mac). These new experiences like video navigation or scene bookmarking on the TV, new scene based advertising and enhanced live and catch up TV are use cases that are the direct result of the internet's impact on the television and video industries.
