IHTML5+ Platform

• Fast Channel Switching

VisualOn offers a superior fast channel switching and preview functionality for both live and VoD streams. It offers a seamless user experience when switching between channels.  When one channel is playing, there are another 2 streams being preloaded at the same time, so when you swipe to change the channels, itis a nearly instant switch without a jitter.

What’s so great about this? Not only it provides an instant channel switch, it also works as a preview at the same time you make the switch! It has a “carousel” effect.

For example, when you want to find out what else is playing in the next channel without being disturbed from the current video, just swipe the screen to the middle of the next channel, and you can actually see both channels playing at the same time! (One current playing stream and one preloaded one). Please contact your VisualOn regional support team to see a demo!

• 5G Multi-Stream Playback and Sync 

Focused on 5G and other situations with strong bandwidth, VisualOn provides multiple streams to allow viewers to choose camera angles or choose between games. This can be extremely helpful and essential for live sports and live concerts, etc. Not only are all the streams synchronized and allowing multiple camera angles for the viewers to choose from (all in sync), it also provide along with multiple audio and subtitle formats, low latency and different decoding options available depending on the device! It was a key differentiator for Korea Telekom in rolling out the world’s first commercialized 5G service. Please contact your VisualOn regional representative to learn more!
