‼️VIDAA launching Shoott on Hisense Smart TVs in South Africa‼️ Shoott is a unique ecosystem that enables any sports organization to produce high-quality game video and stream it to fans, players and coaches, live or on demand. “One of the fields most affected by Covid is for sure competitive sports. Not only did all of them stop immediately, but picking them up will be slow and most importantly – without any spectators for at least a while. And while premium sports will be able to offset that with distributing live games via broadcasters and OTT providers, many leagues and sports below the top tier will have a hard time connecting with their audiences,” says Guy Edri, EVP of Business Development for Hisense’s VIDAA platform. And adds: “Our integration of Shoott allows them to keep fans in touch with their favourite teams, be it a local field hockey team or a university sports team their child competes for, and at the same time not compromise on the experience. Shoott Founder and CEO, Yoss Reddy is delighted to partner with VIDAA and Hisense, both global leaders in SMART TV’s and their respective platforms. Reddy says: “We’re confident the technology behind Shoott together with VIDAA and Hisense broad distribution presents another disruptive and unique way for customers and fans to watch and follow sports and sports teams as we adapt to the new reality.” VIDAA has started the global rollout of its completely new and revamped user interface named 4.0 which is already available in most of the global markets. While the new U4 supports a more natural way for people to interact with their large screen, focusing on content and services rather than applications and technology, now VIDAA is also bringing Shoott on the platform and bringing a wide range of content to the large Hisense screens.
