Cisco (CSCO) along with A+E Networks recently announced the successful integration and testing of the Nielsen ID3 tagging technology. The addition of the ID3 tags will help track TV viewing patterns on mobile devices.
The N-Screen market is promising. It is becoming an important constituent of the viewers overall TV experience. As the use of multiple screens and devices continue to show an upward trend, it is important to be able to keep a track of the programming data and information relaying within the TV ecosystem.
The N-Screen technology enables consumers to view programs across multiple Internet-connected devices and to shift from watching the same program on a TV to a tablet or a smartphone.
The recently tested feature will enable media companies, broadcasters and service providers to monitor the viewing behavior and ratings across several devices. This in turn will increase the program advertising potential.
Cisco’s D9036 broadcast encoder was upgraded to test Nielsen ID3 tagging. Cisco had launched this feature on its videoscape AnyRes live standard and HD software encoders previously.
