At TV Connect 2014, the highlight at the booth will be Viaccess-Orcas TV Everywhere solution, which was recently deployed by Orange Spain for its new state-of-the-art multiscreen service offering.
Viaccess-Orca will demonstrate the latest enhancements to its end-to-end multiscreen TV Everywhere solution, designed to enrich the user experience. Utilizing the solution, operators can securely deliver live, VOD, and catch-up TV content on any network via any screen in order to expand their service offerings, monetize multiscreen TV services, quickly respond to market demands, and increase subscriber loyalty. Leveraging the cloud, content delivery is further optimized, enabling operators to deploy new and engaging services at a much faster time to market, thus reducing CAPEX and OPEX.
A key highlight of the demonstration will be the platforms user interface, through which subscribers can easily discover compelling applications and television content. The new user interface will be shown on multiple devices at the stand, including an iPad(R), Android(TM) tablet, and TV screen with a set-top-box.
The TV Everywhere demonstration will also highlight Viaccess-Orcas COMPASS content discovery platform and DEEP (Data Enrichment and Engagement Platform). COMPASS provides operators with a complete platform for reporting, analytics, and control of content discovery. Relying on a combination of sophisticated algorithms, it offers subscribers personalized content recommendations, optimizing the television experience. Through DEEP, operators can generate enriched metadata and offer users additional content related to what theyre already consuming. This enables operators to support new business models such as targeted advertising and branding. DEEP content is presented in a unique magazine-style format, which is populated automatically.

As part of the content service providers headend, COMPASS can be fully integrated with any service delivery platform. By bringing subscribers closer to the content they want, COMPASS increases subscriber engagement and prevents churn, maximizing an operators revenue streams.
DEEP Second Screen Engagement
At TV Connect 2014, the company will also conduct a stand-alone demonstration of DEEP on a handheld tablet device synchronized with the TV screen.

After automatically identifying the most engaging topics related to the content, DEEP presents it in a familiar, user-friendly magazine-style format that is viewable on tablet devices for an unparalleled second-screen television experience.
DEEP supports the entire television experience, from the discovery process prior to viewing TV content, through the interaction and engagement stage while viewing, and finally to the exploration phase once the program is over, enabling service providers to deliver targeted advertising content to viewers and increase their revenue streams.
Eye on Piracy -- Shortlisted for a TV Connect Award: "Best Component or Enabler"
