Rovi to Power TV Data on Xbox One
2013年11月14日 - 10:30PM
Driving digital entertainment innovation, Rovi Corporation
(Nasdaq:ROVI) today announced Rovi Video, a leading database for
global TV, movie and celebrity metadata, will supply data for the
TV electronic program guide experience, OneGuide on Microsoft's
Xbox One. The launch is a part of a larger initiative that is
planned to include the use of Rovi Video on Xbox One in multiple
countries, which is made easier by Rovi's ability to deliver a
multi-region, multi-format data solution for TV, tablets and mobile
phones.
Launching on Nov. 22, 2013 as the complete entertainment system,
Xbox One features the ability to browse, search and watch live
content available from a range of sources including cable,
internet, and telco TV service providers. Microsoft plans to use TV
listings, reviews, program imagery, celebrity profiles, rich
descriptors and other TV show and movie information from Rovi to
populate OneGuide and other TV browsing and searching features
available on Xbox One.
"Microsoft is elevating Xbox and defining a new category of
entertainment with Xbox One," said Bob Shallow, SVP of sales and
marketing for Rovi. "With decades of experience in collecting and
supplying information on entertainment around the world, we're
pleased to have the opportunity to provide Microsoft with the data
that is essential to its entertainment ecosystem and ultimately to
help consumers find what they want to watch."
"OneGuide gives users instant access to all TV shows and movies
they love in one place – no more switching between devices or TV
inputs," said Martin Sacchi, General Manager, Content Acquisition,
Media and Entertainment Group at Xbox. "We're so pleased to work
with Rovi, one of the top TV data providers, to power this unique
Xbox One experience and bring our vision for the future of the
living room to life on Nov. 22."
Rovi's metadata, with deep, descriptive editorial data, images
and multimedia, supports a full "six degrees of discovery"
experience to encourage people to explore and find the show or
movie to fit their mood. Rovi Video is a part of Rovi's
entertainment data library that includes information on music,
movies, games, books, television, and sports, as well as cover art,
reviews, celebrity biographies, photos, rich multimedia and
more. It currently has descriptive information on
approximately 5 million programs, 27,000 different sources, and
560,000 movies and films, spanning classics to current box office
hits. The database supports a variety of devices and is widely used
by leading entertainment devices, pay-TV services, and popular
video and music applications today.
