Narrowstep will provide BabyTV with their telvOS Internet TV platform, which is the most complete end-to-end solution for broadcasters to deliver video over the Internet. telvOS provides broadcasters with a suite of products and tools which includes a robust content management system, superior DRM tools and a host of monetization tools. These tools allow broadcasters to effectively integrate a customized Internet TV strategy into their existing workflow without the need to deal with multiple vendors.
Narrowstep also designed and built the feature-rich video player. The BabyTV player is a complementary experience to viewing the channel which allows parents to choose their child’s favorite programs by themes or by character, and allows parents and babies to engage in activities such as Baby Karaoke, sing along and more. The player also offers parents the option of tailoring their child’s experience by viewing the programming in a number of different languages.
Narrowstep recently announced the release of its Player 2.7 technology designed to provide global broadcasters and telcos with the tools they need to monetize video over the internet.
