24i Media, the leading, global streaming video app developer, today announced that they have partnered with Hisense, a global electronics giant and one of the world’s leading TV manufacturers and technology leaders. Hisense’s next generation of Smart TV models equipped with a VIDAA system will have the TV GAMES portal, powered by 24i Media, preinstalled as of March 2019.

The TV GAMES portal is a cross-platform collection of in-house developed games optimized for TV remote controls. The service has over 1 million games played worldwide daily. With the partnership with Hisense, TV GAMES will strengthen its footprint in the APAC region and South Africa.

Playing games on Smart TVs is on the rise and the fragmentation that poses a challenge also presents an opportunity, in the form of more sophisticated ad targeting and video advertising. 24i Media is a pioneer in big screen video monetization and is working closely with several SSP and DSP partners to define the ad sector.

“TV GAME and advertisements on Smart TVs is a new and exciting road full of opportunities as well as unknown grounds. We are thrilled to join forces with Hisense.” Said Petr Mazanec, Head of the TV GAMES product at 24i Media.
