TEL AVIV, Israel, March 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --



Vidmind has partnered with Media Excel to deliver time-and-place shifting of linear TV channels as part of its turnkey hybrid OTT/DTT solution. Virtual operators can now utilize existing free-to air content and offer it to their audience to view at any time and across multiple connected devices - as part of a Prime TV experience.

Using Vidmind's platform, mobile operators, ISPs and retailers can launch a Prime TV experience by combining free-to-air and premium OTT content, and deliver an alternative offering to traditional satellite and cable TV providers at a minimum investment in technology and content.  

This novel time-and-place shifting capability further enhances the OTT/DTT Pay-TV offering by providing end-users with access to rich content that matches and adapts to their individual lifestyle. Live TV, premium VOD and Catch-Up content come together under a unified TV Everywhere experience.

The solution transforms live DVB-T TV to linear OTT TV, with the permission of the content owners, and makes it available on a multitude of connected devices in real time as well as at different time through the Catch-Up service. The solution is deployed at the operator's head-end or the Cloud and combines Vidmind's platform flexibility and control with Media Excel's HERO superior video quality and versatility.
