An Interface refresh based on the feedback from clients and adopting the most recent UI patterns.

 

The seasoned Nonius TV platform is well known for providing a product that is easy to use by the guest and easy to maintain by the Hotel.
Here we announce that Nonius has introduced new Home Screen layout options and has reworked all of the apps for better UI/UX (User Interface Design/User Experience Design).
All changes were done without compromising the simplicity of navigation, taking into account the variable screen size vs. density of information, and handling the input from the most varied remote control types.

The home screen options, that you can see below, are fully customizable matching the hotel’s brand standards and the hotel’s wishes, always promoting its services. Here you can see 3 examples of the templates that are available:

Updated design for seamless User Experience

Nonius improved its UI/UX by updating the TV interface for guests and hotel staff and offering new Home Screen and App layouts.

 

This rework enhanced many features, such as the OSD (On-Screen Display) layout for channel change, improving the response time, giving it a cleaner look, providing program name, current program position and duration, disappearing a few seconds after the user has interacted with the TV.

Nonius didn’t only focus on the guest experience but, also on making life easier for the hotel’s management and staff in general, updating the Backend layout for better comprehension of the platform. It’s now easier than ever for the user to identify how layouts can be personalized, without the need to resort to external support, saving time and effort.

 

Reduced Hardware and Maintenance

Nonius TV platform is as easy to deploy as it is to use!

Nonius leads the industry in terms of the compactness of the system. It does not require much hardware on the premises, in most cases 1U or 2U rack space is enough for all services. This allows for easy, economical and fast deployments, and reduces drastically the need for recurrent maintenance.

To maximize the system’s performance, we suggest the following hardware:

  • Connect TVs (AKA Hotel Smart TVs) from any major brand, as Nonius TV is a multi-vendor platform that allows the hotel to choose the TV models that make the most sense for its needs. Nonius can manage, from the same backend, multiple TV brands and Models;
  • Nonius’ Set-top-box STB400A, supports 4K UHD content, has integrated Bluetooth receiver, an extremely fast UI rendering GPU and 5GHz Wi-Fi, and all of this on less than 4 Watt energy consumption!

The updated TV Quick and Advanced Setup screen shows Nonius’ commitment to making it easy for the Hotel Maintenance Team to, for example, replace a TV or an STB.

 

Advanced Analytics on Nonius Dashboard

Nonius dashboard provides a personalized view on relevant analytics such as TV channels and all other services’ usage, alarms for occasional failures and ROI Analysis. The hotel group’s corporate staff, the hotel staff and the Nonius support team can have access to this dashboard so that issues can be solved quickly and systems can be monitored proactively.

This monitoring feature makes this solution ideal for both small independent hotels as well as big and established groups that want to standardize their Guest TV offer and monitor all the activity. Nonius can provide a hosted solution in the Headquarters’ datacenter to centralize management, share resources and reduce operating costs.

 

Cloud TV platform for small properties

For small properties, Nonius also offers a cloud-based edition of the platform. This platform has proven to be very cost-efficient for hotels with up to 40 rooms.

The hardware necessary on-premises is minimal and allows for an extremely easy installation as well as maintenance, reducing the deployment costs significantly.

 

According to Leonel Domingues, Nonius CTO & Founder who is in charge of Product Management:

“Nonius works every day to create products that offer a seamless guest experience. In terms of Entertainment we work on 3 fronts:
a) Streaming solutions (Chromecast based) and we believe we have the most frictionless and flexible product;

b) Updating Frontend and Backend UI/UX for greater user experience;
c) Reduce, even further, the on-premises equipment and we have for sure the smallest on-site CPE footprint.

All of these developments, while maintaining backward compatibility with systems that we have in the field, some of them for more than 10 years. Compatibility as well with all major TV brands and making sure our clients have a simple migration path for any of the systems they have trusted us with.

Here, we are publishing the changes we made to the frontend because we want to assure you of our commitment to evolve this platform and keep the product updated for your guests. Also, to tell you that we are getting great feedback from the test sites and soon will be promoting the roll-out to all clients.

Una actualización de la interfaz basada en los comentarios de los clientes y la adopción de los patrones de UI más recientes.

 

La plataforma inteligente de Nonius TV es conocida por proporcionar un producto fácil de usar para el huésped y fácil de mantener por parte del Hotel. Nonius ha introducido nuevas opciones de diseño del Home Screen y ha reelaborado todas las apps para una mejor UI/UX (User Interface Design/User Experience Design). Todos los cambios se realizaron sin comprometer la simplicidad de la navegación, teniendo en cuenta el tamaño variable de la pantalla vs. la densidad de la información y siendo compatible con los más variados tipos de control remoto.

Las opciones de Home Screen, que puede ver abajo, son totalmente personalizables y coinciden con los estándares de la marca del hotel y los deseos del propio hotel, promoviendo siempre sus servicios. Aquí puedes ver 3 ejemplos de las plantillas que están disponibles:

Diseño actualizado para una Experiencia de Usuario perfecta

Nonius mejoró su UI/UX actualizando la interfaz de TV para los huéspedes y el personal del hotel, ofreciendo nuevos diseños de Home Screen y Apps.

 

Esta revisión mejoró muchas características, como el diseño OSD (On-Screen Display) para el cambio de canal, mejorando el tiempo de respuesta, dándole un aspecto más limpio, proporcionando el nombre del programa, la posición actual del programa y la duración, desapareciendo unos segundos después de que el usuario haya interactuado con el televisor.

Nonius no solo se enfoca en la experiencia del huésped, sino también en hacer la vida más fácil para la administración y staff del hotel en general, actualizando el diseño del Backend para una mejor comprensión de la plataforma. Ahora es más fácil que nunca para el usuario identificar cómo se pueden personalizar los diseños, sin la necesidad de recurrir al soporte externo, lo que ahorra tiempo y esfuerzo.

 

Reducción de Hardware y Mantenimiento

¡La plataforma de Nonius TV es tan fácil de implementar como de usar!
Nonius lidera la industria en términos de la compacidad del sistema. No requiere mucho hardware en las instalaciones, en la mayoría de los casos, el espacio de rack de 1U o 2U es suficiente para todos los servicios. Esto permite implementaciones fáciles, económicas y rápidas, y reduce drásticamente la necesidad de mantenimiento recurrente.

 

Para maximizar el rendimiento del sistema, sugerimos el siguiente hardware:

  • Connect TVs (AKA Hotel Smart TVs) de cualquier marca importante, ya que Nonius TV es una plataforma de multi proveedor que le permite al hotel elegir los modelos de televisores que tengan más sentido para sus necesidades. Nonius puede gestionar, desde el mismo Backend, múltiples marcas de TV y modelos;
  • El Set-top box STB400A de Nonius, compatible con contenido 4K UHD, cuenta con un receptor Bluetooth integrado, una GPU de reproducción de UI extremadamente rápida y Wi-Fi de 5 GHz, ¡y todo esto con menos de 4 Watts de consumo de energía!

Las pantallas de TV Quick y Advanced Setup actualizadas muestran el compromiso de Nonius de facilitar que el Equipo de Mantenimiento del hotel, por ejemplo, reemplace un TV o un STB.

 

Analítica avanzada en Nonius Dashboard

El Nonius Dashboard proporciona una vista personalizada de analíticas relevantes, como los canales de TV y el uso de todos los demás servicios, alarmas para fallos ocasionales y análisis del ROI. El personal corporativo del grupo hotelero, el staff del hotel y el equipo de soporte de Nonius pueden tener acceso a este panel de control para que los problemas se puedan resolver rápidamente y los sistemas se puedan monitorear de manera proactiva.

Esta función de monitoreo hace que esta solución sea ideal tanto para pequeños hoteles independientes como para grupos grandes y establecidos que desean estandarizar su oferta de Guest TV y monitorizar toda la actividad. Nonius puede proporcionar una solución alojada en el Datacenter de la Sede para centralizar el manejo, compartir recursos y reducir los costos operativos.

Plataforma Cloud TV para pequeños hoteles

Para pequeños hoteles, Nonius también ofrece una edición de la plataforma de TV basada en la nube. Esta plataforma ha demostrado ser muy rentable para hoteles con hasta 40 habitaciones.

El hardware necesario en las instalaciones es mínimo y permite una instalación y mantenimiento extremadamente sencillos, lo que reduce significativamente los costos de implementación.

 

De acuerdo con Leonel Domingues, CTO y fundador de Nonius, quien está a cargo de Gestión de Productos: “Nonius trabaja todos los días para crear productos que ofrezcan una experiencia perfecta para los huéspedes. En términos de entretenimiento en la habitación, trabajamos en 3 frentes:
a) Soluciones de Streaming (basadas en Chromecast) y creemos que tenemos el producto más flexible y sin puntos de fricción;

b) Actualización de UI/UX del Frontend y Backend para una mejor experiencia de usuario;

c) Reducir aún más el equipo en las instalaciones y por supuesto, tenemos la CPE más pequeña.

Todos estos desarrollos, mientras mantenemos la compatibilidad con los sistemas que tenemos en el campo, algunos de ellos durante más de 10 años. Somos compatibles con todas las principales marcas de TV y asegurándonos de que nuestros clientes tengan una ruta de migración simple para cualquiera de los sistemas.

Con estos cambios que hicimos en la interfaz, queremos asegurarle nuestro compromiso de continuar evolucionar la plataforma y mantener el producto actualizado para sus invitados. Destacar que estamos obteniendo excelentes comentarios en los sitios de prueba y que pronto promoveremos la implementación a todos los clientes.»
