HTTV is deeply committed to the success of the HbbTV standard and participates to its improvement. Its httvLink TVOS is fully compatible with the HbbTV 1.5 standard. This integration will enable Zinwell to offer a competitive HbbTV solution in term of cost and performances without compromising on quality.

HbbTV is a very compelling value proposition for any country going through their Analogue Switch Off. As an open standard, HbbTV accompanies the transition from the pure broadcast mass market to the fast growing connected world and is rapidly developing in Europe, APAC (Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, New-Zealand,..) and Africa (Senegal, Ivory coast,…) gradually replacing proprietary middleware solutions.

Régis Saint Girons, HTTV’s CEO declares: “This collaboration with Zinwell and Broadcom will enable us to provide consumers with a best-in-class user experience.” He added “HbbTV is the obvious choice for the fast moving emerging markets in Asean and Africa.

The integration of HTTV’s TV Operating System with Zinwell’s hardware will allow us to have an attractive proposition for markets who are seeking a cost effective solution”
