Accedo, the global market leader in TV application solutions, today announced that it has been selected by LAPTV,
LLC (owned by FOX International Channels and operating under the brand name MOVIECITY ) to power its Moviecity Play service in Latin America.
Moviecity Play is a video on demand service that thanks to this collaboration is available across Latin America on a wide range of devices,
including Smart TVs from all the major manufacturers, leading game console platforms, as well as tablets and mobile devices.
It gives users access to a wide range of compelling content, including TV Shows, Movies and Kids programming.
The application, developed by Accedo is the next generation of the popular Moviecity Play service, currently available
as part of most Pay TV operator offerings in the region.

is used for rapid multi-platform development with full UI compliance. Second Screen capabilities are powered by Accedo Connect for seamless TV to Mobile
content experience. Moviecity Play also includes Accedo's Social Integration Toolkit (SIT), meaning users can interact and share content across
their social media platforms directly on the TV.
We believe this new service will be a compelling extension for our customers, enabling them to watch great content at anytime,
on any device, commented Edgar Spielmann, President and CEO, Moviecity. Accedo's experience delivering compelling applications
to a range of devices made them the natural choice to partner on this project.
We are delighted to be working with Moviecity and its multiplatform VOD service, commented Michael Lantz, CEO, Accedo.

enabling them to further develop their connected device strategy in the region

momentum and TV business growth forecast for the coming years, commented Jer nimo Macan s, VP Southern Europe and Latin America, Accedo.
