Altimedia enables Blacknut gaming on operator set-top-boxes

Altimedia & Blacknut Elevate Cloud Gaming Experience On TV

Altimedia & Blacknut Cloud Gaming collaborate in a new partnership to facilitate seamless gaming experiences, especially targeting global Pay TV operators.

Blacknut is an online, subscription-based game streaming service that allows up to 5 different, simultaneously accessible player profiles. Through a single monthly, no lock-in subscription, players can access a collection of 500+ premium AAA, indie, adventure, racing, and sports video games. Playtime is unlimited with no downloads required as games are cloud-streamed and playable on any compatible, connected device –including Smart TVs, tablets, computers, mobiles, and more. Already boasting more than 150 licensing partnerships, Blacknut also expanded its partnership with Gameloft, renowned for publishing mobile games. This collaboration is set to enhance Blacknut’s game library with Gameloft’s popular titles, providing subscribers with an even richer and more diverse gaming experience.

Altimedia, an end-to-end solution provider for multimedia services, is dedicated to remaining at the forefront of technological innovation. Altimedia’s partnership with Blacknut is one of the examples of the company’s commitment to staying at the cutting edge of technological innovation. Through this partnership, Altimedia’s source technologies of device platform and service management are integrated with Blacknut Cloud Gaming, enabling TV viewers to experience premium game titles via the operator’s Set-top-box. This collaboration aims to facilitate a ‘Blacknut-ready’ media service platform for Pay TV operators, eliminating additional effort to introduce a high-end game experience for subscribers.

Yong Pil Kim, President of Business Strategy at Altimedia, expresses excitement about collaborating with Blacknut’s innovative cloud gaming technology. He sees this partnership as an opportunity to enhance value for customers and looks forward to further collaboration with Blacknut.

“Altimedia is exhilarated to witness the groundbreaking innovation unfolding in the realm of cloud gaming and to bring this innovation to our users. Blacknut Cloud Gaming was strategically considered as an aid to Altimedia’s overall technology offerings and providing better value to customers. Based on Altimedia’s product technology and development know-how, we look forward to expanding cooperation with Blacknut to provide new games and advanced media services to users.”

Olivier Avaro, CEO of Blacknut, also emphasized the importance of strategic partnerships in expanding the reach of gaming experiences.

“The fusion of cutting-edge technology with collaborative partnerships is key to bringing our catalog of gaming experiences to new users. Fostering a synergy between technology and strategic partnerships is the best way forward; we believe that the future of gaming is not just about technology innovation but also about the strength of partnerships, like that with Altimedia.”

As Android has been widely chosen as the device platform by Pay TV operators, a set-top box can serve as a substitute for a game console. Based on the cloud technology, it is expected that game publishers will be able to easily expand their service screens, while Pay TV operators can diversify their business models.
