"Our focus and vision for the home of the future incorporates AI-enabled devices that can meet and exceed the evolving demands for intelligent interactions between consumers and their digital environment," said Charles Cheevers, CTO at Vantiva. "With deep insights we've gained from serving the connected home industry, we are poised to combine the STBs, broadband gateways and cloud capabilities into a unified AI platform delivering new-AI based assistants, enriched video and audio experiences such as automated multi-lingual services, diversified advertising opportunities and cutting-edge gaming experiences, positioning Service Providers at the forefront of generative AI offerings for consumers."

Vantiva will be demonstrating the following at IBC:

    --  The STB as central hub of the AI-powered home: With multi-modal inputs
        such as camera, far-field microphones and speakers, Vantiva's new STBs
        enable cutting-edge features such as an AI-powered personal assistant
        that can understand and engage in human communication. Users can fully
        engage with this human-like assistant, making interactions with
        Generative AI feel like real conversations.
    --  Shoppable TV: Vantiva's STBs improve the shopping experience with AI and
        NPU capabilities. The "Shoppable TV" feature utilizes the NPU for
        real-time object detection, automatically matching that object in video
        to a catalog. This allows for instant shopping through the TV via voice
        commands.
    --  Audio accessibility feature improvement: AI greatly enhances the STB by
        enabling live audio transcription, allowing consumers to enjoy video
        streams in their original audio with auto-generated subtitles in any
        language. This local transcription capability helps service providers
        reduce costs by lessening their dependence on cloud services. Vantiva's
        AI-powered transcription technology empowers operators to offer a
        richer, more inclusive viewing experience around the world. In addition,
        local AI can detect noise in a room and automatically adjust the TV
        volume for optimal sound.
    --  More immersive gaming experience: By adding a vision camera to the STB,
        along with NPU acceleration, Vantiva introduces new gesture-based
        interactions, creating a much more immersive gaming experience. In
        addition, the ability to run gesture, pose and facial detection models
        locally on the STB reduces costs and latency by eliminating the need for
        cloud processing.
    --  AI upscaling technology: Vantiva significantly improves existing
        upscaling technology by leveraging the local STB engine to analyze
        images in real-time to enhance video quality and enable new features,
        like upscaling and tracking objects in a video for high-quality
        Picture-in-Picture.
    --  Broadband Gateways: Vantiva's broadband gateways complement the STBs
        with the addition of a NPU on top of their already impressive MIPS
        count. This allows new broadband apps to run locally for Edge AI
        services. The broadband gateways also ensure consumer privacy and
        security by providing real-time activity reports of cameras, microphones
        and sensors. Additionally, they offer advanced tools to show
        interactions between devices, leverage the gateways to detect security
        threats and intrusions and allow consumers to manage or block camera and
        audio services as needed.
