Rapidly flipping through cover art and pausing to find out more about titles that catch the eye, is the key to turning an enjoyable browsing experience into a VoD transaction. A responsive and engaging catalogue that is quick to navigate increases the likelihood that viewers will spot a title they have an interest in.

The speed of Ekioh’s browser solutions help deliver an excellent, graphically rich user experience where viewers can move seamlessly between linear, pre-recorded and on-demand services.

Hybrid broadcast broadband TV (HbbTV) is now firmly established as the channel provider’s preferred technology for supplementing their video streams with additional information and applications. Increasingly HbbTV is also being used as a basis for providing additional IP delivered programming and catch-up services.

With the vast array of consumer electronic devices now looking to support HbbTV features, it’s clear that a ‘one size fits all’ approach lacks the flexibility necessary for each platform provider to get the very best out of their hardware investment. To provide flexibility across the integration spectrum, Ekioh adopts a partnership model with HbbTV client stack providers providing a range of solutions from turnkey through to bespoke.

To complete the service delivery picture, Ekioh’s partnerships with TV Application providers including Accedo, Foxxum & Sixty provide a wealth of off-the-shelf applications which can quickly be localised as necessary and brought to market.

With the rapid increase in tablet computers and mobile phones, it’s increasingly important for hotel operators to resist being relegated to providers of a “simple bed and WiFi” offer. A good in-room entertainment system can be as important in maintaining a positive customer relationship as friendly staff and a welcoming lobby. In-room entertainment is a direct reflection of the hotel’s brand value and so it’s important to get it right.

Hotel systems represent a significant investment for any operator. The flexibility and performance of Ekioh technology enables hotel system providers to deliver visually compelling, personalised solutions using cost effective hardware. Ekioh’s products are used to combine information services, TV and on-demand programming to deliver an engaging customer experience which helps drive service uptake.

In-room integration with the hotel’s Property Management System, enables self service and, when coupled with localised advertising, helps promotes hotel services such as in-room dining. It’s not surprising therefore to know that Ekioh’s technology is increasingly being sought out by innovative hotel systems providers.
