New Dynamic Metadata, Powered by the Rovi Knowledge Graph Engine

• Rovi will introduce new dynamic metadata based on the robust Rovi Knowledge Graph Engine, which contains rich information on more than 100 million entertainment entities. This new dynamic metadata set is mapped to Rovi IDs and provides customers with a deep understanding of entertainment content and an awareness of what is popular or trending in the world at any moment. The Rovi Knowledge Graph Engine provides machine-generated metadata from 100,000 online sources, delivering 20 million additional keyword assignments and metadata on an additional four million people. It will also enable Rovi customers to deliver highly relevant search results and recommendations to accurately understand user intent and anticipate user interests.

Build Internet Protocol Based Entertainment Experiences with Rovi Cloud Services

• Rovi will release Rovi Cloud Services 2.0, which provides developers with easy access to an extensive range of media APIs. This will help service providers quickly build IP-based entertainment experiences on a range of platforms and devices, including next-generation set-top boxes, DTAs, IPTV (News - Alert), cloud, and second screen, or websites, applications and portals.
• Additionally, Rovi will launch the new Rovi Developer Portal, which provides a one-stop shop for Rovi's entertainment discovery portfolio, including metadata, search, recommendations, remoteaccess and conversation services. Developers can obtain complimentary trial keys at https://developers.rovicorp.com.

• Rovi will unveil its revamped user interface (UI) for Passport Guide Interactive Program Guide (IPG). The enhanced UI features a wide-screen, high-resolution format, modern HD design and streamlined color palette, which better complements the service provider's branding. In addition to a refreshed UI, Passport Guide along with Rovi i-Guide will also support the collection of return-path data, which service providers can access through Rovi's Operator Insights, a business intelligence portal to gain insights into customer viewing patterns.

In addition to showcasing the latest innovations in entertainment discovery and monetization, Rovi will participate at INTX's Imagine Park.
