SeaChange’s Nitro multi-screen subscriber experience software was awarded 4.5 out of a possible 5 diamonds in BTR’s annual Diamond Technology Reviews program. Judges, consisting of engineering executives from Bright House, Charter, Comcast, Cox, Suddenlink, Sunflower Broadband and Time Warner Cable, lauded Nitro as a “revolutionary” platform that “makes it easy to view anything anywhere, and makes it personal with a powerful recommendation engine.”

 

Nitro software enables service providers to offer subscribers control over linear and on-demand content across mobile, PC, tablet and TV screens. Nitro leverages HTML5 to give viewers intuitive features and functionality to navigate and manage video content on any screen they choose, including TV listings, bookmarking, search and recommendation, and handheld-as-a-remote capability.

 

In their reviews of Nitro, judges also noted that “The capacity to offer the cable subscriber access to their video services on multiple devices in and out of the home is an industry imperative. The ability to enable this with existing back office systems is a nice capability.”

 

The BTR Diamond Technology Reviews, presented by Broadband Technology Report, recognize some of the top products and solutions available to the cable industry as determined by a stellar panel of MSO engineering experts. Criteria used in the Diamonds rankings include, first and foremost, unique technology or application thereof, innovation, ease of use, efficiency, reliability and contribution to profitability.
