The CONNECT Player TV Demo package is to demonstrate the Player capabilities with playback of standard or customer-specific stream on a Big Screen Connected TV.
Initially, only one single embedded Player is supported - the CONNECT Player SDK 5 for Browsers and Connected TV.
It lends itself to examining the behaviour and performance of deployments, especially when integrated with other items in our toolbox. CONNECT Player TV Demo is designed to be player-agnostic; easy to incorporate other Players to help provide a side-by-side comparison of the same streams under the same environment. It is aimed primarily at LG webOS, Samsung Tizen/HbbTV, and Hisense VIDAA for Web-based players - whilst also working on desktops within the Chrome browser. Hence in line with the limitations of the CONNECT Player SDK 5, when operating within those environments only supports DASH streams encrypted with Widevine, PlayReady or TVKey DRM Key Systems.
