Audience

Big data applied to free-to-air TV audience measurement

TV audience measured inreal time.

Audience reinvented ratings measurement with the power of big data, analyzing in real time the data sent by Smart TVs from any point in the country. An unprecedented evolution of the traditional model broadcasters have used for decades.

From the antenna to theheatmap. Real audience, across the entire coverage area, in real time.

Audience is an exclusive tool to support broadcasters’ strategic decisions. The application covers the entire coverage area of the channels, generating an unprecedented volume of samples. Programming, sales, and engineering teams are the main beneficiaries, with charts and heatmaps detailing audience behavior in any city in Brazil.

The three pillars

One solution.
Three fronts.

01

Total Coverage

Unlike traditional methods with limited samples, Audience covers the entire coverage area of the channels. Any connected Smart TV tuned to the station feeds the system with anonymized data via the IP return channel.

02

Real-Time Dashboard

Charts and heatmaps detailing audience behavior in any city, accessible on any device. Filters by market and time slot provide essential information for programming, sales, and engineering.

03

Broadcast Integration

Audience is integrated into the transmission chain from the IFN100 Intelligent Remultiplexer, feeding the multiplexer via ASI or IP. The app is embedded in the transmission in the same way as Digital TV Ginga applications.

Audience advantages

Data that
accelerates decisions.

Audience’s richest, most reliable insights transform how stations make programming, commercial, and technical decisions.

Substantial sample expansion

An unprecedented volume of data collected from the entire coverage area, far exceeding the samples of traditional measurement methods.

Continuous data collection

Uninterrupted 24x7 monitoring, capturing every tune-in with no gaps in audience data throughout the day.

Analysis with times and durations

Complete detail of audience behavior: entry time, tune-in duration, and consumption patterns by daypart.

Reports for sales teams

Structured data that backs negotiations, proves audience, and supports advertising inventory pricing with precision.

Broadcast-Broadband integration

Native connection between the broadcast transmission chain and IP broadband infrastructure, with no additional equipment required.

Immediate implementation

Fast activation across large regions thanks to direct integration with the IFN100 already present in broadcasters’ transmission chains.

Solution architecture

From signal toinsight.

  1. 01

    Broadcaster

    The IFN100 embeds the Audience app in the Digital TV signal via ASI or IP.

  2. 02

    Smart TV

    When tuned to the station, the app starts collecting anonymized audience data.

  3. 03

    Return Channel

    Data is sent anonymously via IP to AWS servers in real time.

  4. 04

    Dashboard

    Heatmaps and charts available on any device, with filters by market and time slot.

Three areas transformed by Audience

Programming: schedule decisions based on real audience data by daypart and market, with granularity never available before.

Sales: detailed reports that strengthen advertiser negotiations and prove the real reach of every ad insertion.

Engineering: heatmaps that identify signal drops and regions with poor coverage, guiding corrective action with geographic precision.
