White Paper | Why the Smart TV experience is essential for OTT

Smart TV or Connected TV technology is changing how subscribers of online streaming services experience entertainment. Viewers are no longer confined to smaller mobile screens or need to necessarily invest in secondary devices such as set-top boxes or game consoles to watch and share content on the big screen at home. This makes having a presence on Smart TV platforms increasingly attractive for OTT operators.

The challenge lies in developing apps for Smart TVs, which require a specialised understanding of the technology and its various ecosystems. This can be a complex and daunting prospect for OTT service providers who may lack the expertise or resources to do so. That’s where Magine Pro steps in – we provide comprehensive solutions for TV apps, both native to Smart TVs and those that require secondary devices, that simplify the process for our partners.

In our latest white paper, ‘Go big or stay small? Why the Smart TV experience is essential for online streaming services’ we explore why Magine Pro is best positioned to help OTT operators capitalise on the big-screen experience, enabling them to reach more viewers and grow their OTT business. In addition, we discuss why offering native Smart TV apps is essential for online streaming services. We also dive into the complexities of building TV apps, including how we at Magine Pro can enable big screens for our partners and their end users. And share insights from one of our partners, Passionflix founder Tosca Musk, on the realities of running a specialist streaming service on multiple devices, including the big screen.
