Key Features of Senza<\/h2>\n
Web Applications:<\/strong> Apps run in a standard Chrome browser in the cloud. This means minimal hardware requirements, always up to date apps, no app store approval delays and straightforward integration.<\/p>\n Streaming Video: <\/strong>The user interface is streamed from the cloud, while video content streams directly from the CDN. You only pay for browser usage which makes the setup more cost-efficient.<\/p>\n Cloud Connector: <\/strong>A small HDMI device with Wi-Fi and a Bluetooth remote. It\u2019s fast, future-proof and practically invisible from a developer\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n Security: <\/strong>End-to-end encrypted streaming with DRM protection. No local data is stored and each device comes with unique customer authentication.<\/p>\n Apps run best on Senza when built for the TV experience. At a high level, your app should:<\/p>\n The first step is creating a Senza Developer Account. You can sign up directly on the Developer site<\/a> or through a Synamedia representative. The process is simple:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n SignUp Screen<\/p><\/div>\n SignUp Form<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n Once done, you\u2019ll land in the Senza Console<\/a>, where you can:<\/p>\n Here’s a video overview<\/a> of the developer tools.<\/p>\n You can use the client library to integrate your app with the Senza platform. There are two ways to use the library:<\/p>\n Install the Senza SDK directly as an NPM package<\/a>:<\/p>\n If your app has a package.json, add the dependency:<\/p>\n Then import it into your app:<\/p>\n If you\u2019re not using a module bundler like webpack, link the library directly:<\/p>\n Once imported, initialize and use the senza object:<\/p>\n The Device Simulator allows you to develop and test your web app in the Senza environment directly from your browser, similar to how it would run on a physical cloud connector.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Simulator screenshot<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n After using the Simulator, validate your app on a real Cloud Connector. Request a device from your Synamedia representative, then set it up in minutes:<\/p>\n You can also follow the Cloud Connector Installation Guide<\/a>. Once connected, test your app\u2019s full performance on a TV and use remote debugging<\/a> for troubleshooting, just like in the Simulator.<\/p>\n Senza doesn\u2019t have a formal app certification process. You control when and how updates go live. The key is making sure your app is fully integrated, thoroughly tested, and compatible. Once it runs smoothly in the Simulator or on a Cloud Connector, you are ready to launch.<\/p>\n Senza makes it possible to deliver web apps directly to TVs without hardware limitations or lengthy certification processes. With its cloud-powered approach, you stream the UI from a browser while video comes directly from the CDN, ensuring efficiency and cost savings. With the Senza SDK, developer console, simulator, and Cloud Connector, you can move quickly from concept to deployment while ensuring a secure and optimized TV experience.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Introduction Synamedia\u2019s Senza platform (commonly called Senza) powers modern media delivery and streaming.
