HESP Alliance welcomes Hoki as new member
Leuven, Belgium – November 14, 2022 – The HESP Alliance today announced that Hoki, a sports, gaming, entertainment & technology company based in Singapore, has signed up as a member. Hoki will be able to implement high efficiency streaming workflows in its solutions, to provide for scalable sub-second latency live streaming and fast zapping to media companies through the High-Efficiency Streaming Protocol (“HESP”).
The HESP Alliance aims to accelerate standardization and large-scale adoption of high efficiency streaming through HESP. Alliance members can license the technology; integrate it into their video packaging and playback solutions; and develop and share HESP extensions to drive further innovation. A verification program for HESP solutions ensures interoperability across packaging, playback and CDN solutions and provides peace of mind for media companies deploying high efficiency streaming services.
Hoki has integrated real-time streaming at scale through HESP in its SportOTT Platform, a multi-tenant data-driven OTT solution for rights holders to live stream games and host videos. It is a unique digital experience combining video, data, and platform, which quickly and efficiently provides for stunning broadcast quality streams to viewers.
“We’re constantly looking for new ways to help our customers reach, interact, and engage users through memorable and vibrant digital experiences. HESP is the enabling technology on top of which realistic immersive digital experiences can be built for interactions on a mass scale. We are honored to join the HESP Alliance and work with other members who share the same vision and commitment.” Said Gabriel Tan, Founder & CEO at Hoki.
“We are pleased to have Hoki join the HESP Alliance,” said Steven Tielemans, President of the HESP Alliance. “We look forward to working together with Hoki to bring high-quality real-time streaming to sports, gaming and entertainment companies, to avoid spoiler effects from social media and neighbors, and to create interactive experiences at scale for use cases such as betting and gamification.”
