Speaking about the new feature Abhesh Verma, Chief Operating Officer, NexG TV said “It is unfortunate that most digital consumers have to keep a careful eye on their data usage to avoid overshooting their monthly limits lest they incur prohibitively high data charges. Our new ‘Save Data’ feature will enable viewers to regulate their viewing experience, allowing them to not just continue streaming video but also conserve data simultaneously.”
The feature named data saving debuts in the the NexG TV App, which has just been released on the Google Play store. Positioned on the top right corner of the streaming screen as a toggle button with switch on-switch off functionality, the feature alternates between data saving and performance modes.
This approach allows a user to change or edit the pre-configured streaming profiles defined by NexG TV, which otherwise, automatically detects the network environment a user is in to enable the most appropriate or optimum streaming experience.
“Given the rising data cost as well as usage sensitivity for most consumers, it is imperative that users derive the maximum ROI from their data plans. The ‘Save Data’ feature has been introduced for the benefit of the end-consumers helping them juice their data plans completely. We are confident that users will appreciate this feature and use it extensively to conserve data while streaming” added Verma.
Aside from data-saving feature, the latest build also features other improvements such as Ease of play, enabling full landscape view which works even when portrait-landscape changeover is disabled on a device, as well as faster response times owing to compressed communication between the server and the device.
