Set-top boxes with human-like AI
personal assistants and gateways with AI-powered security and
privacy shape a new consumer experience at home
PARIS, Sept. 9,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vantiva (Euronext Paris:
VANTI), a global technology leader enabling Network Service
Providers (NSPs) to connect consumers worldwide, will demonstrate
innovative AI-powered products at IBC 2024, including set-top boxes
(STBs) and broadband gateways, all connected to Vantiva's Navigate
AI cloud. This new class of CPE features a local Neural Processing
Unit (NPU) and enhanced CPU and GPU performance, ensuring more
private, secure and lower latency Edge AI use cases. This positions
operators as "Home AI" platform providers offering new AI services,
while optimizing cloud costs and maximizing CPE capital
investment.
"Our focus and vision for the home of the future incorporates
AI-enabled devices that can meet and exceed the evolving demands
for intelligent interactions between consumers and their digital
environment," said Charles Cheevers,
CTO at Vantiva. "With deep insights we've gained from serving the
connected home industry, we are poised to combine the STBs,
broadband gateways and cloud capabilities into a unified AI
platform delivering new-AI based assistants, enriched video and
audio experiences such as automated multi-lingual services,
diversified advertising opportunities and cutting-edge gaming
experiences, positioning Service Providers at the forefront of
generative AI offerings for consumers."
Vantiva will be demonstrating the following at IBC:
- The STB as central hub of the AI-powered home: With
multi-modal inputs such as camera, far-field microphones and
speakers, Vantiva's new STBs enable cutting-edge features such as
an AI-powered personal assistant that can understand and engage in
human communication. Users can fully engage with this human-like
assistant, making interactions with Generative AI feel like real
conversations.
- Shoppable TV: Vantiva's STBs improve the shopping
experience with AI and NPU capabilities. The "Shoppable TV" feature
utilizes the NPU for real-time object detection, automatically
matching that object in video to a catalog. This allows for instant
shopping through the TV via voice commands.
- Audio accessibility feature improvement: AI greatly
enhances the STB by enabling live audio transcription, allowing
consumers to enjoy video streams in their original audio with
auto-generated subtitles in any language. This local transcription
capability helps service providers reduce costs by lessening their
dependence on cloud services. Vantiva's AI-powered transcription
technology empowers operators to offer a richer, more inclusive
viewing experience around the world. In addition, local AI can
detect noise in a room and automatically adjust the TV volume for
optimal sound.
- More immersive gaming experience: By adding a vision
camera to the STB, along with NPU acceleration, Vantiva introduces
new gesture-based interactions, creating a much more immersive
gaming experience. In addition, the ability to run gesture, pose
and facial detection models locally on the STB reduces costs and
latency by eliminating the need for cloud processing.
- AI upscaling technology: Vantiva significantly improves
existing upscaling technology by leveraging the local STB engine to
analyze images in real-time to enhance video quality and enable new
features, like upscaling and tracking objects in a video for
high-quality Picture-in-Picture.
- Broadband Gateways: Vantiva's broadband gateways
complement the STBs with the addition of a NPU on top of their
already impressive MIPS count. This allows new broadband apps to
run locally for Edge AI services. The broadband gateways also
ensure consumer privacy and security by providing real-time
activity reports of cameras, microphones and sensors. Additionally,
they offer advanced tools to show interactions between devices,
leverage the gateways to detect security threats and intrusions and
allow consumers to manage or block camera and audio services as
needed.
