Vimond Discuss Second-Screen Experience

.

Vimond Media Solutions announces that Marketing and Communications Director Henriette Saether will participate in a panel discussion at the Sports Video Group (SVG) Europe Football Production Summit in Paris on Wednesday, March 6 at 17:00. The session, titled "The Multi-screen Experience: Beyond Broadcast," will cover what it takes to create the second-screen experience football fans want.

Saether will lend Vimond's perspective and unique experience in OTT content delivery to the discussion. More and more football fans are staying connected via mobile devices, tablets, or the Internet. Increasingly, they are watching matches on their HDTV sets while using mobile devices or tablets for additional information related to the match. The panel will explore what types of content fans are looking for on the second-screen, and how broadcasters and federations can most easily meet those needs.
