Antik IPTV MW 2.0

A revolutionary content centric DVB and IPTV middleware by ANTIK represents new trends in user interface design. Carefully prepared screen-by-screen always with end-user in mind to allow easy and seamless navigation through your content offer. To compare with standard ANTIK GUI, new approach allows the end-user to forget about the source where the content is coming from (either VOD, catch-up TV, PVR or network or USB drives) and concentrate on pure entertainment selection. Now we can produce new interfaces much faster, with less development effort and to integrate 3rd party content in uncomplicated way. Moreover, latest design trends and the computing power of contemporary set-top boxes can be fully exploited.

New in-depth integration of advertising space into different interface screens and its backend management expands the opportunities for content upsell as well as opportunity to create another revenue stream from ad-space sales.

Live TV 

Straightforward usage of live channels is still the centre of attention of most TV users globally. Antik designers always keep their eyes on uncomplicated and intuitive TV channels zapping features. Of course we combine it with content-rich horizontal/vertical/multi EPG (Electronic Programme Guide coming from ANTIK IPTV Management Server) information view to allow improved navigation, mozaic preview of most watched channels (to be used together with Antik Mosaic Server).
 
The navigation within large channel lists is further improved by intuitive search component (T9), channel categorization by genres and usage of channel logos within the interface.

ANTIK Technology

Antik Middleware offers unique feature to share all linear channels from all sources (Multicast IPTV, Unicast OTT and DVB) in one channel list to avoid complicated change of selection screens when end-user wants to watch content from different source.  The position of each individual channel within the list as well as its preset audio levels and audio tracks can be easily changed in the channel editor.
 

Channel editor

Key linear TV related features are directly accessible from program guide information screens - to allow to play selected show from TV archive, to plan recording of the content on the local PVR, or to set the show to be archived on the network in the future.

Media content

Vast selection of the multimedia content offered to your customers is centralized in Media Content part. The system automatically tries to pair program metadata with all content available to the box, categorize and prioritize it.

All contemporary features are supported – including access to catched up content (TV Archive), personal video recorder content and handling, access to media files on local network (LAN) using DLNA standard or media on directly connected drives. Content prepared by Antik VOD (Video on Demand) Media Server or Antik Music-on-Demand Server is fully integrated into interfaces, too.

Archive TV

Using video metadata helps the enduser to navigate via archived content, too. Besides the standard access to archive using original timing of the show, Antik Middleware automatically pairs metadata including genres/categories and top watched content to archived content and offers it in the way typical previously for VOD content only.
