Senza is a cloud-based video streaming platform that delivers web apps and video content directly to any TV screen. Your apps run on a powerful Chrome browser in the cloud, and the experience is streamed to your TV using a device called a cloud connector.
The cloud connector is a small, affordable device that connects to your Wi-Fi network and streams content from the Senza platform to your TV via HDMI. It simply decodes video streams from the Senza browser or any Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) video, displaying it on your TV screen.
Senza runs HTML5 web apps based on modern web technologies. Whether you’re adapting an existing app or creating a new one, Senza is designed to make your web app run smoothly in a television environment.
Users interact with your web app through a Bluetooth remote control that comes with the cloud connector. When a button is pressed, the command is sent over the internet to your app, and the response is displayed almost instantly on the TV screen.
No, the Senza browser minimizes resource usage by moving into background mode when the viewer watches full-screen video. This ensures that you only pay for the compute resources when they are actively needed.
The platform is optimized for HD resolution (1920 x 1080), which is ideal for TV screens and ensures that your app looks great from a typical viewing distance.
