Cinemo, a global leader in high-performance and automotive-grade multimedia playback, streaming, media management, connectivity, and cloud middleware, is collaborating with Renault Korea—a leading manufacturer of crossover and high-end vehicles—to enable best-in-class, premium video for the infotainment system of the new Renault Grand Koleos.
Making a fall debut in the Korean market, the newly announced hybrid SUV is set to elevate premium in-car digital media experiences. With Cinemo’s CARS Online Video powering the Grand Koleos Android-based infotainment system, the driver and front passenger can seamlessly access a video content discovery service via the Renault CINEMA app, where they can browse and select premium video offerings for playback on the car’s two built-in, 12.3-inch front-row screens.
Renault Grand Koleos customers can now easily view their favorite movies and TV shows in comfort, transforming each car ride into an entertaining journey. The driver and passengers can watch video content on either the central infotainment screen or front passenger screen when the car is parked. Passengers can also enjoy their favorite videos and TV shows while the vehicle is in motion, with the possibility of playing audio over Bluetooth headphones to avoid driver distraction.
Cinemo’s CARS™ product portfolio enriches in-car infotainment, making all car journeys more enjoyable and interactive. With its ease of integration and array of customizable applications, Cinemo CARS™ products shorten development times and accelerate time to market. The Cinemo CARS™ portfolio is designed to enhance and complement Android-based infotainment systems with accessing premium Video-on-demand, multi-screen sharing, remote control, and more, offering a wide universe of connected entertainment on the move. Driver safety is ensured with Cinemo CARS™ being optimized to fully comply with Driver Distraction Guidelines for Android Automotive apps.
“Partnering with Cinemo was an easy decision for us because of its deep experience and reputation for providing the best in-car digital media experiences,” says Regis Brignon, Software and System Director, Renault Korea. “The Cinemo CARS™ product line is easy to integrate, helped us accelerate project delivery times—and raise the bar on premium video experiences, making it possible for every journey in the Renault Grand Koleos to be entertaining and fun.”
“We are proud that our joint collaboration has enabled a superior and enjoyable content experience for the Grand Koleos SUV—and this is just the start,” says Jean-François Claude, Country Manager Cinemo Korea. “We look forward to building on this relationship and working together to continually enhance the digital media experience for Renault Korea customers.”
