HbbTV Suite

Keep viewers connected across devices by delivering a seamless, interactive OTT experience with the HbbTV Suite. This solution merges traditional TV with the digital world, delivering personalized content and engaging features on CTVs.

All-in-One Solution for Broadcasters to Launch HbbTV Services

Every month, 15 million networked TV sets are reached in Germany - a decisive advantage for broadcasters. This reach enables the targeted marketing of additional video and display inventory. With HbbTV, you not only increase your revenues, but also lead your audience directly to your media libraries. 

Clearly Structured Media Library

The HbbTV Suite offers a well-organized media library application with essential wires, content lanes, preview images, metadata and a content management system (CMS).

Consent Tool

Module for obtaining consent for reporting and tracking information for various business models and operations.


Commercial Microsites

For the optimal monetization of the HbbTV offering, the Qvest product SmartPages can be integrated to create and play out interactive campaigns quickly and efficiently. 


Red Button Framework

The offering is initiated through the call-to-action (CTA). A planning tool allows for the control of CTAs based on time and stream events. Format-specific CTAs with various graphics can also be presented. 

Digital Rights Management

Not all HbbTV devices support the playback of DRM-protected content. However, the HbbTV Suite enables the broadcast of DRM-protected content in the media libraries on devices that support this functionality. 

Blocklist Interface

The management of playout is done through the blocklist interface, which allocates functional spaces of the HbbTV application according to the capacities of individual device clusters. 


Unrestricted Support for HbbTV Standards

Viewers can access all content delivered through the HbbTV Suite once they connect an HbbTV-enabled television to the internet. The HbbTV Suite supports all currently available standards (1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 2.0).
