3READY Android TV with Dynamic Ad Insertion – Dynamic Ad Insertion enables operators to monetize Android TV inventory and to grow ad revenues with personalized programmatic ad insertion for live streams and VOD, all fully integrated and managed from Google Ad Manager 360. The result is a seamless, personalized and measurable experience with content and ads that are relevant to the user.

Android TV’s Live TV Sports Showcase – Harmonic, Android TV, Technicolor and 3SS will show one of the first integrated OTT and broadcast live sports workflows in an Android TV environment, delivering essential tailored features such as picture-in-picture, multi-view and personalized mosaic.

3READY Android TV with Google Play Movies integration – This turnkey solution enables viewers to explore all 500,000+ movies and shows from Android TV’s TVOD offering through Google Play Movies and TV, without ever having to leave an operator’s custom launcher environment.

By offering Google Play Movies directly via the 3READY-enabled custom launcher, the operator is empowered to bring the hottest, most relevant content closer to the user to browse and purchase or rent.

Using the 3READY Control Center customer experience management tool, Google Play Movies content can be selected and placed anywhere within the custom launcher and/or multiscreen apps.
