MStar supports Acetrax VOD Premium Service
/EINPresswire.com/ Amsterdam, September, 14, 2011 -- MStar, the leader in the worldwide digital TV market announced the availability of Acetrax Premium service as part of its connected software platform for TV and STBs.
MStar created the « MStar Connected » package by developing a complete turnkey software stack and engaged with content providers to provide a wide portfolio of services on the platform. The platform is available to manufacturers, product developers, operators & retailers.
Acetrax Premium Service is now pre-integrated and available on the MStar connected TV platform.
MStar is already massively deployed in the digital TV market. MStars experience, gained through market deployment and the acquisition of engineering assets provides customers with cost effective hardware, tightly coupled to one of the most comprehensive turnkey software stacks in the industry.
Acetrax is the first movie retailer in Europe to offer blockbuster movies to rent or permanently buy movies directly through their TVs without having a monthly subscription. The movies are stored in a digital online library and played back on up to 4 devices including laptops (PC or Mac). This makes the need for DVDs or downloading, storing and copying large movie files across devices redundant and a thing of the past. A simple license agreement with Acetrax would enable a CE brand to bring to life its video enabled product.
- We're happy to make available this amazing catalog on our solutions for the European market, said Joel Reboul, General Manager of the Mstar Connected TV lab in Europe. Both companies are following similar technical standards and our collaboration is really efficient. »
- MStar is the largest chipset vendor for connected TVs and STB. We are delighted to partner with MStar and work with their CE manufacturer partners to bring Acetrax, the No.1 premium VOD TV platform to market on a Pan-European scale » Leslie Golding, CMO Acetrax
