Alticast has announced the launch of Windmill, an end-to-end digital interactive ecosystem for TV operators with support for cable, satellite, DTT, IPTV and hybrid systems.
Alticast is showing the Windmill ecosystem at this week’s Cable Congress in Brussels. It is built with a set of modular technologies that lets TV operators easily and cost-effectively add advanced interactivity to existing systems while providing new revenue models and future-friendly expandability.
As the amount of video content available to end users increases exponentially, Windmill uses Alticast’s new altiViewT User Experience to provide an interface allowing content discovery across broadcast and over-the-top content, recommendations and an integrated social experience to increase viewership and consumer loyalty.
Windmill is built on the company’s altiPlatform middleware core, providing full compatibility with existing systems and pre-integrated support for content protection solutions, including Alticast’s altiProtect CAS and DRM and the other major vendors deployed in the market today.
“Windmill is a cutting-edge TV ecosystem that will provide unparalleled customer satisfaction now and in the future, increasing average revenue per user and reducing churn. Windmill’s open system architecture maximizes compatibility and minimizes costs for operators.,” said Thomas Jung, CMO for Alticast in a statement.
