How our Lightning expertise has stimulated our unprecedented growth

We work with a variety of tools, designs, and programs to ensure our clients receive everything they request and desire. However, the crown jewel of TV2Z is our mastery in the Lightning framework!

As the years have passed, the information revolution has changed the face of humanity. The technological trends of the world have allowed all of us the opportunity to rethink the way we build, create, and consume. Here at TV2Z, we have been at the forefront of understanding the ever-changing industry trends and implementing them into our services and our work.

The fast-paced changing of the streaming industry and the tools to work with challenge us to stay on top of our game. Constantly looking out for the next ways to better our services and improve our ability to build. To those not always familiar with our wide array of services, it may be difficult to understand the ins and outs of the work we do every day.

The challenge of reaching every screen

The distribution of content across a maximum amount of screens, therefore reaching a maximum share of an audience is paramount to the success of any content provider or broadcaster. While onboarding screens by leveraging the means of web apps, mobile apps, and even Smart TV apps are rather straightforward; tapping into the much larger ecosystem of Set-top boxes is a hard and cumbersome process, (there are so many out there).

We can and are able to launch an OTT platform on around a dozen different applications. We give our clients relative creative liberty to decide which applications they would like their products to be on. We can launch your platforms anywhere.

Our command of the Lightning framework

While we are proud of our extensive capabilities, our proudest achievement is our command in understanding, and building with Lightning. It is what sets us apart from our competitors. Lightning is a cross platform, lightweight, Open-Source JavaScript development framework that uses WebGL for rendering. No HTML or CSS necessary, resulting in high-performance browser-based Set-top box apps

With the electronic age constantly adapting and improving, the Lightning Framework is the benchmark for how we create and distribute our services. As a certified Metrological Partner, TV2Z has worked with a few of the biggest content providers and broadcasters of the world to create solutions that have made their content accessible to the users of major global operators and their Set-Top-box devices, including Comcast, Sky, Ziggo, and KPN.

How Lightning works

Lightning Framework aids the building of apps on telecommunication Set-top boxes. Lightning simplifies the entire process of building an app and creating an overall user experience as well. The functionalities of Lightning allow platforms to be published in record speed across a variety of operators and devices.

The Lightning ecosystem

The Lightning ecosystem consists of multiple components. The Lightning CORE ensures a pristine performance, and advanced animations, the Lightning SDK (Software Development Kit) which builds the TV apps, the Lightning CLI (Command Line Interface) which enables us to easily create and build Lightning Apps.

Creative freedom and seamless migration

One of the unique things about Lightning is how it allows our clients to be able to have creative freedom over the design and flow of their platform. Since Lightning itself is designed to incorporate different design patterns and overall components of the platform for the development of the app. It allows our clients to enjoy the ability to decide for themselves what the vision is for their platform. They name it, we build it. We build complex Lightning platforms that include rich features and customizations. Along with our consultations and guidance, we guarantee client satisfaction.

We are even able to migrate any existing OTT stack to the TV2Z studio. With our extensive state-of-the-art toolkits, migrating your existing solution to the more advanced and comprehensive solution from TV2Z is feasible. We also have tried and tested methodologies by which you can migrate your existing user base to the new solution.

Why Lightning is the future

Right now, Lightning is the framework on everybody's mind. Since Lightning offers great portability and exceptional performance, it is no wonder most of our clients want to build their platforms with Lightning. The user experience enabled by Lightning is the embodiment of high-quality functionality and usage.

Here at TV2Z, we have dedicated developers specialized in Lightning, who are able to truly understand the entire framework, and ensure the process runs smoothly both on our end and for the client and its consumers as well. Our Lightning developers love the convenience of it and gaining a deeper understanding of it each day as appreciated members of the TV2Z family.
