At the end of January, 2016, Google confirmed that SERAPHIC’s Sraf® HTML5 Browser passed YouTube 2016 pre-certification.

With its audience-base growing each and every day, YouTube TV has become more and more an essential over-the-top service for chipset vendors, TV & set-top box manufacturers and even service providers. However, it becomes remarkably more challenging to pass YouTube 2016 than that for 2015, because YouTube sets stricter quantitative measurements of performance of various behaviors such as the initial loading speed, animation, browser-to-watch time, etc.

SERAPHIC’S Sraf HTML5 Browser, based on Blink engine, matches all performance and memory usage requirement of the YouTube TV certification.

How did SERAPHIC achieve such superb performance level? SERAPHIC has deep know-how on browser optimization for TV and set-top box especially from the perspectives of memory usage reduction and profound performance tuning. It works closely with chipset vendors and makes deep integration in order to maximize the chipset hardware potential.

SERAPHIC has YouTube 2016 ready-to-go solution and Sraf HTML5 Browser will enable chipset vendors and TV & set-top box manufacturers to pass through the certification at an early stage, which will accelerate time-to-market of their end-consumer products, providing a solid time-to-market advantage over the competition.
