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.
