SeaChange International | January 05, 2023
SeaChange International, Inc., a leading provider of streaming platforms, video delivery, advertising, and emerging free ad-supported streaming TV services (FAST) development, has introduced the SeaChange XstreamTM platform, a cloud-based content monetization platform that helps content owners and OEMs maximize advertising revenue on connected TVs (CTVs). SeaChange will launch the Xstream platform formally on January 6th and begin onboarding customers in the first quarter of the new fiscal year.
With consumer preferences rapidly shifting away from pay TV to streaming and from subscription services to advertising-funded TV and content offerings, consumers' demand for comprehensive content aggregation and discovery services on CTVs keeps growing. In response to this trend and to provide content access independently, CTVs are rapidly becoming the primary entertainment gateway for households instead of a cable subscription or set-top box.
“We are thrilled to launch the Xstream platform, a comprehensive service that capitalizes on the rapid consumer shift to the FAST and CTV markets. As a leading technology vendor, SeaChange combines the deep expertise needed to provide premium user experiences on connected devices, a DNA to deliver end-to-end streaming solutions, and an unmatched product suite for smart ad insertion management."
Chris Klimmer, President of SeaChange.
To fully maximize on this demand, SeaChange is launching the Xstream platform, which provides the complete set of capabilities to monetize CTV ad inventory for OEMs, content owners, and operating system providers, ranging from streaming enablement via content aggregation to targeted insertion of advertisements from multiple demand sources.

Pixalate | January 17, 2023
Pixalate, which is an analytics platform for fraud protection, privacy, and compliance for connected TV (CTV) and mobile advertising, has released a compliance toolkit for CTV to find and evaluate child-directed apps in the Roku and Amazon Fire TV app stores. The toolkit is designed to enable Pixalate's customers to identify, review, and assess child-directed apps that run on Roku and Amazon Fire TV in order to ensure compliance with relevant laws such as the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
The Pixalate Trust and Safety Advisory Board, which is made up of qualified educators and led by a former FTC enforcer, looks at apps through the lens of the COPPA Rule to see if they are aimed at children. Pixalate's new toolkit gives brands, ad networks, and agencies the ability to accurately find and label apps that are made for kids.
Allison Lefrak, Pixalate's senior vice president of public policy, advertising privacy, and COPPA compliance, said, "As advertisers are focusing more on programmatic Connected TV inventory, it is important for them to keep in mind that COPPA also applies in the CTV space." She further added, "Identifying which apps are child-directed and whether they are potentially risky from a COPPA compliance standpoint is crucial in avoiding hefty penalties."
These manual reviews are blended with AI to assign a COPPA violation risk to over 50,000 Roku and Amazon Fire CTV apps. If a publisher or advertiser knows that a CTV app is aimed at children, they must follow COPPA, which includes getting permission from the child's parents before collecting and/or sharing personal information.
