In a recent , eMarketer reports that consumers' inclination to watch cable and network TV as it airs is declining fast, while consuming video on non-TV devices and watching over-the-top (OTT) content are increasingly becoming regular activities.
"As consumer viewing paradigm shifts from the main screen in the living room to any screen anywhere, service providers have no choice but to adapt," said Cheng Wu, CEO of Azuki Systems. "Azuki helps service providers add value to their bundles and offer new, enhanced and differentiated TV services. Azuki allows service providers to evolve multi-screen application functionality to become a seamless 'companion-to-consumption' collaborative experience that not only provides feature rich control capabilities, but also delivers advanced services that increase monetization opportunities."
The Azuki One-Pass TVE workflow provides one-to-one personalized TV experiences across all screens based on preferences, networks, devices, locations and media consumption information. That's because the Azuki One-Pass TVE workflow supports an industry-first distributed MPEG-DASH controller that intelligently embeds and correlates existing metadata and re-uses the information as service components to enhance the user experience.
Azuki's distributed MPEG-DASH controller:
Embeds and correlates user, content and device metadata
Provides real-time analytics that facilitates video traffic control with intelligent dynamic bitrates
Allows for dynamic ad insertion based on industry standard SCTE 130 and VAST
Scales linearly as more controllers are deployed, either centrally or distributed at the edge of delivery networks

Virtualizes video transport networks, integration with existing back-office systems and CE/mobile and set-top box (STB) devices
