PRINCETON, N.J. -- April 22, 2017 -- At the 2017 NAB Show, Ericsson, Sony Electronics, and Triveni Digital will team up to demonstrate an end-to-end ATSC 3.0 workflow for individualized ad insertion using ATSC 3.0 signaling, ROUTE/DASH transport, and transmission. The first-of-its-kind demo provides broadcasters with a streamlined solution for personalizing advertising in the next-generation television environment. The demo will take place at the "NextGen TV Hub" during the 2017 NAB Show in the Grand Lobby of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
During the demo, the companies will present a mix of live and pre-recorded content encoded and packaged in real time in HEVC and ROUTE/DASH transport by Ericsson's MediaFirst Encoding Live and MediaFirst Packaging platforms, and Triveni Digital's ROUTE server. Signaling for these streams will be created by Triveni Digital's GuideBuilder(R) XM signaling and announcement generator, which offers unified functionality per the ATSC 3.0 A/331 candidate standard along with support for legacy standards such as ATSC 1.0 PSIP and DVB-SI. The interactive, personalized ad experience will be supported by client software hosted on Sony Android(TM) platform TVs.
GuideBuilder XM is an essential component of Triveni Digital's Broadcast Services Management Platform. Using the signaling and announcement system, broadcasters can automatically ingest schedule updates from all popular listing services, apply them to any number of services, and output program and service guide data to third-party multiplexers and encoders. In channel-sharing scenarios, the GuideBuilder XM system helps broadcasters manage metadata across multiple stations while maintaining a seamless workflow during the transition to ATSC 3.0 via centralized, distributed, or cloud workflows.
MediaFirst Encoding Live and MediaFirst Packaging are part of Ericsson's MediaFirst Video Processing and MediaFirst Delivery solutions. MediaFirst Encoding Live encodes or transcodes MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC, or HEVC at resolutions up to UHD with HDR. MediaFirst Packaging provides DASH-compliant streams for integration with downstream ROUTE or MMT servers. Both solutions can run in either virtualized or appliance-based environments.
The Sony TVs used are model XBR55X930E (2017), part of Sony's TV product line of Android platform 4K Smart TVs.
ATSC 3.0 enables broadcasters to deliver a hybrid mix of broadcast and broadband content, with an opportunity to customize the viewing experience through voluntary collection of user data and preferences. Addressable advertising has been identified as one of the ways that broadcasters can leverage this data to boost viewer satisfaction and revenue.
