The solution aims to provide operators with the option to extend their offerings with Android TV whilst retaining control of their brand experience, allowing them to own the user experience and prioritise their own content ahead of that from third-parties.

Among other features, the Wyplay Operator Tier Launcher includes video-on-demand (VOD), catch-up, start-over TV, auto start, multi-user and voice control available through the company’s premium user interface, or a customised UI developed specifically for the operator.

“It’s clear that pay-TV operators are now considering Android TV for their next STB and so we are very pleased to add an Operator Tier Launcher to our suite of User Experience Products” said Jacques Bourgninaud, CEO of Wyplay, which presented the solution at ANGACOM.

“With many years of experience developing client solutions for tier 1 pay-TV operators, Wyplay are well placed to provide all the assistance required to make the move to Android TV”, continued the executive.
