TeraVolt and ZDF launch ZDFmediathek app for HbbTV

TeraVolt and ZDF have successfully launched the ZDFmediathek app for HbbTV. TeraVolt is a long-standing partner of ZDF and has been responsible for HbbTV, Smart TV, and third-party platforms such as Sky, Telekom Magenta and Vodafone Germany since summer 2020.

The challenging project included a comprehensive redesign of the ZDFmediathek application. The design underwent a re-brush to improve content presentation. In addition, the front-end and back-end were completely redeveloped to provide a contemporary and user-friendly interface and to lay a powerful technical foundation for future developments.

Mirko Rasche, client service director at TeraVolt, said: “Taking responsibility for the primary digital playout path for Europe’s largest broadcaster is a great challenge. Our team at ZDF and TeraVolt have achieved a remarkable feat and successfully modernised the most technically sophisticated TV media library in the DACH region, highlighting our technological expertise and innovation.”

Oliver Koch, COO, and founder of TeraVolt, added: “The redesign of ZDFmediathek’s big screen application aimed to provide users with a premium user experience through an intuitive interface and an advanced technology base. We are confident that the goal was achieved.”
