Cloud TV is starting to push the user interface into the Cloud as a way of delivering traditional entertainment to connected screens, creating a convergence of CDNs and Cloud computing which in turn needs new ways of optimising CDN and Cloud content delivery.

This will be one of the main topics at the upcoming Cloud TV Summit, itself part of the wider CDN World Summit which takes place on 1 October at London’s Thistle Marble Arch Hotel. It will feature participation from a host of leading cable and telcos from around the world, and includes presentations from Cloud-based TV operator, Magine; Voddler, the Swedish film and TV streaming service; one of the largest Russian telecom operators, Rostelecom; and Andorra Telecom.

The agenda will include Voddler providing insight into pushing the future of TV delivery in the cloud, and Andorra Telecom share its expertise on launching VoD services for smaller telco operators.

Magine will share its Cloud TV case study, focused on the launch of its service, and will impart how to engineer a secure Cloud-based architecture. The company’s CEO, Erik Wikström, observed, “Cloud-based TV services take viewing to a whole new level. Magine has recognised the opportunity and is utilising Cloud and smart platforms to offer linear, time-shifted content without satellites or boxes.

“Viewers can use their mobile phones or tablets to connect their devices to the TV, enabling a seamless video viewing experience across devices with the assistance of Cloud. This will increase the time spent on viewing linear TV content due to the availability of content across time and devices.”

As part of the Summit Alcatel-Lucent will cover a special session which will focus on the future vision for IP video, look at how the increase in online video impacts the underlying network, and will provide an overview into TV functions moving to the Cloud.
