The solution integrates key features such as Home Screen, Video-on-Demand, App Store, and Native Apps, providing a seamless end-customer experience for RDK Video Accelerator devices.

“RDK4 has enabled us to innovate and transform STB devices towards a richer, more dynamic, and engaging viewing experience as a flexible and intelligent open-source platform. Tata Elxsi remains committed to creating engaging viewing experiences and is excited to deliver this UI to support the RDK Video Accelerator program. As a Preferred Plus member of the RDK community, we are proud to contribute to RDK’s growing portfolio of offerings to the video and broadband industry. The framework helps operators to deliver a differentiated experience, accelerating the time-to-market” said KP Sreekumar, VP Media and Communication, Tata Elxsi.
