ANT moves to multiscreen

Digital TV software company ANT has launched a ‘second-screen’ solution, ANT Galio Move.

Galio Move lets users stream live and recorded content directly from the set-top box or TV via WiFi to companion devices within the home.

Viewers can use the tablet to watch the same live programme as the main TV in a different room, watch a separate live programme using the second TV device tuner or view recorded content stored on the set-top box or TV hard drive.Viewers can also control their TV remotely from their companion tablet device using an intuitive touch-screen.

“The TV industry continues to evolve as consumers now welcome connected TV services into their homes. The popularity of companion devices such as tablet devices and smartphones just adds to a massive opportunity,” said Simon Woodward, CEO of ANT.  “ANT Galio Move fundamentally changes the TV experience by delivering TV functionality direct to the companion device without disrupting the main TV.”

ANT will be exhibiting at IBC on Stand 4.C98
