Integration to an operator’s content management systems, video infrastructure, and other back-office components is easily handled, thereby removing complexity and creating cost efficiencies.

Providing a personalized, recommendation-enabled user experience, in combination with a traditional broadcast channel guide, the Accedo Studio Operator Tier Launcher for Android TV gives easy access to OTT and broadcast services including: Recordings; Catch-up TV; Movies on Demand, TV on Demand, plus the wide world of Android app-based content. Furthermore, Accedo’s cloud-based user interface management platforms allow the operator to re-brand, re-skin, and re-configure the Launcher with a customized user interface for each deployment.
