German industry association Deutsche TV-Plattform has gained Italian IT consultancy Fincons Group and Media Press, a Swiss provider of TV metadata and technological solutions, as new members.
“The additions underline the relevance of the topics and projects we are driving in the smart media area, in particular the minimum requirements for HbbTV 2 devices, which pave the way for new HbbTV services from broadcasters, and our initiative to harmonise metadata requirements for the distribution of audio-visual content,” said Andre Prahl, chairman of Deutsche TV-Plattform.
“The expansion of our services and offerings to the German market with the establishment of our branch in Munich and becoming a member of Deutsche TV-Plattform are milestones for us,” said Michele Moretti, CEO of Fincons Group. “We look forward to making a contribution and participating in the activities to set Europe-wide standards in the delivery of online media and in the TV sector.”
