At IBC 2015, 3 Screen Solutions (3SS), which provides customized software solutions and services to the multiscreen digital entertainment industry, will be highlighting its agreement to join Metrological’s preferred content partnership programme to develop new applications and services for Pay TV operators.
The partnership with Metrological – which helps operators personalise their TV experience and manage branded TV App stores and user experiences – is aimed at supporting content providers with the design, development and delivery of new apps that enrich the Pay TV viewing experience for consumers.
The 3SS-developed apps will be published in the Metrological App Library, giving operators the ability to pick and choose the app line-ups that best suit their customer base. Apps developed on the Metrological Application Platform and open source SDK only need to be authored once to run on set-top boxes across more than 20m homes.
Kai-Christian Borchers, 3 Screen Solutions’ Managing Director, said he believed his company could use the Metrological Application Platform to deliver “truly revolutionary innovations†that would enhance the TV watching experience. Meanwhile, Jeroen Ghijsen, CEO of Metrological, said he welcomed 3 Screen Solutions as a preferred application development partner company and was excited at the prospect of 3SS developing “new, inventive applications†for pay TV operators.
