TeraVolt and 3 Screen Solutions (3SS) have been selected to develop and integrate apps and management systems for bobbles.tv, the new pan-European subscription video service aimed at Asian, Latin American and African expats. bobbles.tv recently launched via DTH satellite and OTT and provides both live and catch-up viewing across multiple screens.
bobbles.tv is the first project to go live on the online video platform launched in November 2015 by MX1, a new company formed from the merger of SES Platform Services and RR Media. TeraVolt and 3 Screen Solutions also supported that initiative. The MX1 platform helps broadcasters and content owners launch tailored OTT services.
TeraVolt provided bobbles’ design, including a user front end covering navigation. 3SS developed bespoke bobbles apps for web, iOS and Android including custom user interfaces. 3SS also took care of integration with the key MX1 backend functions including DRM and payments.
“The launch of bobbles.tv on satellite and OTT is a great example of MX1’s expertise in leveraging DVB-S linear channels and on-demand OTT. Bringing all the required systems together in such a co-ordinated fashion is a great achievement,” says Kai-Christian Borchers, Managing Director of 3 Screen Solutions.
