Tier 1 broadcasters and operators often have an existing backend environment complete with encoding, transcoding, DRM, CDN and content management systems. These companies design and develop the OTT experience in-house with dedicated teams. This generates a demand for an approach where the client-side application, multichannel UI and UX are created and integrated into the existing and widely deployed customer environment.

MORE THAN DESIGNING THE USER INTERFACE

When compared to computers and even mobile phones, designing the user experience and user interfaces for TV is still a relatively new area. It is also a fundamentally different platform, and the way we consume our content is different. User interaction is mostly done with the remote control, a relatively clumsy way of navigating compared to mouse and keyboard or touch interfaces.

The Architects of Change

Sofia Digital has been a reliable partner for the creation of new TV services since the digitalization of television started. We help networks to bring their content to new platforms that enrich the viewer experience, generating new business.
