Synacors Greg Jarvis brings more than 25 years of new media experience--spanning the U.S., Canada, Latin America and Europe--to the Digital Hollywood panel and will focus on auto authentication as a means to dramatically reduce abandonment rates among pay-TV subscribers accessing TV Everywhere long-form video, as well as other provider content and services.

Jarvis and the entire Synacor team are continuing to innovate in the TV Everywhere space, delivering marquee solutions for pay-TV providers and content programmers. Synacor recently launched its Cloud ID Auto Authentication solution and reported a dramatic drop in TV Everywhere abandonment, coming in under 10 percent (compared to a typical TVE abandonment rate of approximately 50 percent).

And last week during NCTA Cable Show 2014, Synacor showcased its newest developments in TV and TV Everywhere, including the industrys first iOS app to combine all-in-one functions of bill pay, upgrading services and TV Everywhere content consumption (announced earlier with Suddenlink). Also on display were Synacors latest innovations in next-gen start experiences and an early glimpse at Synacors customized TV and OTT content and services for Android tablets.
