Specialist Applications Company Digisoft.tv Launches CastOS at IBC

CORK, Ireland, September 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --



Digisoft.tv the specialist middleware applications company is to launch its new CastOS
framework at IBC. Aimed at the Telco market, the service simplifies and reduces the costs
of any OTT/IPTVdeployment. The CastOS framework leverages existing consumer electronics by
coupling them with the operators' smartphones. It takes the casting paradigm beyond basic
video on demand services, delivering linear TV without the truck roll.



The CastOS framework allows service providers to "cast" without worrying about the
underlying protocols on the target connected devices, delivering a carrier grade linear TV
replacement with VOD and cloud DVR across multiple devices. Service providers can choose
one of three deployment options. The Hybrid option allows Telco's to deliver a traditional
10ft TV user experience via a mobile phone. The advanced service covers Live TV, VOD and
cloud DVR and allows the consumer to interact with their TV with "One Click". They can
download the app and cast in minutes.



Next stage deployments include, dongle and remote control, a low cost device
implementation for the family, with optional voice control. The voice search feature gives
fast accurate results, overcoming the limitations of TV search interfaces.



"We are really excited about this breakthrough which we believe represents the future
of IPTV", said Fearghal Kelly, CEO of Digisoft.tv. "CastOS connects our mobile application
to multiple devices. Mobile phones are the gateway to unconverted customers and increased
ARPU, and are central to a software based TV strategy. Telco's have lots of protocols and
platforms to deliver their services on, costing time and money. CastOS cuts across all of
these issues and delivers future proof TV."



Digisoft.Tv will unveil the CastOS Framework at their stand at IBC in Hall 14,
