Access and Inview entered into a partnership to integrate interactive HTML5 functionality via Access’ NetFront Browser NX with Inview’s technology platform. The partnership will enable Inview to enhance its ability to rapidly implement custom interactive services and smart applications to its customers. Inview will be deploying the combined platform with customers in the new year.

NetFront Browser NX is a WebKit-based HTML5 browser that features efficient memory usage, high stability and high portability. It includes wide support for digital TV standards or specifications including HbbTV 1.5, HbbTV 2.0, UK Freeview Play, YouTube on TV and CE-HTML. NetFront Browser NX is provided to customers as an embedded SDK and therefore a complement to existing platforms that may need to take advantage of enhanced features such as interactive applications. NetFront Browser was deployed in a wide range of platforms including digital TVs, set-top boxes, game consoles, Blu-ray Disc players and automotive infotainment systems.

The platform is part of the Access NetFront Browser family, which includes both Chromium and WebKit technologies to provide device manufacturers and operators with an open choice for their HTML5 strategies. Access SDKs support the latest developments such as YouTube on TV, HbbTV, 4k video, HDR and content protection (DRM). Access’ NetFront browser products have been shipped in over 1.5 billion devices worldwide, enabling Access to provide both a wide product portfolio and in depth experience of the requirements for device deployment.
