Fincons Group have been shortlisted for the 8th HbbTV Symposium and Awards 2019
19/11/2019
The SDP framework distributes functionalities in logical SMART modules intended to be the building blocks for any Hybrid TV solution. With the help of a template engine, the SDP makes it possible to design each page of an application (including navigation) to show features such as an Electronic Program Guide (EPG), channel details, video on demand sections and catch-up content. Display and interactive video advertising formats can be synchronized through application programming interfaces (APIs).
The prototype submitted for this award demonstrates how the SDP can be used to smart watch videos. In this example, cloud machine-learning services are used to analyse video assets, looking specifically for celebrity appearances through face recognition techniques; this subsequently allows ends users to skip directly to where celebrities appear.
Using this tool, viewers could navigate directly to clips featuring their favourite actors. Starting from configurable templates, the application is automatically generated in either HbbTV2 or Atsc3.0 compliant code. The feature opens the door to many new possibilities and because of its modular and integrated structure enables businesses to realize return on investment every step of the process.
Fincons Group will be demoing its SDP platform with Artificial Intelligence powered facial recognition at HbbTV Symposium event.
Moreover, during the event, Francesco Moretti, Deputy CEO Fincons Group and CEO Fincons.US, will be taking part in a highly topical round table session moderated by Dr. J rn Krieger entitled: Does HbbTV provide the right tools for broadcasters and operators? on November 21st at 17:10. He will also be contributing to the Opening Ceremony and the Awards Reception.
Fincons' Oliver Botti, Head of International Business Development and Innovation, will be moderating a panel on HbbTV and other Interactive Standards on 22 November at 12:10, while he will be joining a panel debate, moderated by Mediaset's Angelo Pettazzi, on Targeted Advertising: the Business State of the Art on 21 November at 14:40 to discuss 'Obsessive' (and successful) HbbTV market trials, including Mediaset Play's two-year continuous live market trial on Interactive Content and Advertising, with special reference to the latest release of RT Dynamic Advertising Replacement.
Francesco Moretti, Deputy CEO Fincons Group and CEO Fincons.US, comments: Having worked extensively on both the HbbTV and ATSC 3.0 standards, we're very proud of the Smart Digital Platform tool, which leads the way with its flexibility and scalability as a solution. I'm pleased to be able to share the tool with experts across the HbbTV community and I am very much looking forward to exchanging ideas with fellow industry leaders at the symposium.
The prizes will be awarded at a prestigious ceremony on 21 November 2019.
