Net Insights Sye Earns Outstanding BTR Diamond Technology Review Score

True Live OTT solution awarded four DiamondsinBroadband Technology Report s 2016 Diamond Technology Reviews.

Stockholm, Sweden -Net Insight, the leading providerin media transport and resource scheduling, today announces that itsSye solution, has achieved a high score of 4 out of 5 in the BTR Diamond Technology Review awards. Sye, which isthe world s first and only true live OTT streaming technology, solves the issues of both delay and synchronization in delivering OTT content across multiple screens, enabling a new world of monetization possibilities.

Today live OTT content being viewed on different devices and screens are not in step with live linear broadcast transmissions, or with each other. This lack of synchronicity is spoiling the live television experience, as audiences watching live OTT video are not able to view the same content at exactly the same time. Sye solves this by enabling frame-accurate synchronization with extremely low delay and no buffering.

The BTR Diamond Technology Reviews recognize some of the top products and solutions available to the cable industry as determined by a panel of cable telecommunications engineering experts.

"Diamond Judges examined each product for their potential impact on the market both in respect of innovation and for the commercial opportunities they present," said Rob Stuehrk Publisher of Broadband Technology Report. "Net Insight s Sye is clearly a transformational product, and the opportunities that it can potentially open up for incremental revenue streams and the possibility to drive new types of audience engagement, the likes of which have been impossible to achieve in the past, is what made this solution stand out."

By harmonizing live content delivery to all screens, Sye opens up new and exciting opportunities to create a better quality of experience (QoE), allows for more engaging and interactive live TV to be generated, and enables media companies across the entire industry to monetize live content in unprecedented ways. Rights holders, for instance, can provide harmonized multi-screen experiences, allowing them to show complementary as well as more personalized content on the second screen, in sync with main broadcast feeds, enabling content owners to reach out directly to consumers without "cannibalizing" revenue from existing rights holders. Moreover, this greatly enhances the overall viewing experience, driving viewers to first screen events and opens up a conduit to generate revenue from the second screen.

Also, by allowing audiences to select the second screen content they want to watch, such as driver-cams and player cams during live sports events, in sync with live linear TV, Sye also enhances viewer engagement, and opens up the possibility to add live statistics, live real-time recommendations and alternative commentary, as well as offering real time betting, voting and polling. Also, if a viewer wants to see a second screen point of view camera angle on the first screen, Sye allows them to seamlessly flip between content with a simple swipe, providing a new type of live viewing experience that keeps audiences engaged and active. Furthermore, a synchronized delivery to all screens creates the opportunity for more integrated social interaction around live events, enabling viewer communities to be created, which can be a real boon in terms of customer loyalty, reducing churn and attracting new subscribers.

"The score awarded for Sye from the BTR Diamond Technology review panel reinforces the value and commitment Net Insight places on developing new and innovative products," said Per Lindgren, senior vice president of Live OTT at Net Insight. "To achieve a score of 4 is indicative of Sye s ground-breaking qualities, highlighting why this is such an exceptional product. It will make the second screen a platform for audience engagement, offering new levels of interactivity and personalized TV delivery, and will have a huge impact across the media and broadcast industry."
