  • Tru2way™ Platform for Bidirectional Cable Communication Launches
    October 27, 2008 Tru2way™ Platform for Bidirectional Cable Communication Launches Comcast Corporation and Panasonic have announced the first deployment of Tru2way™ bidirectional digital cable technology. Tru2way was developed by CableLabs based on the OpenCable™ specification and is a Java-based open application platform. It is being promoted as a digital CableCARD™ system that enables two- way communication between a digital-cable-ready TV set or other device and a cable operator’s head end to provide viewers with a rich interactive experience. According to a statement from Panasonic, “the technology creates a common software platform that will enable cable companies, consumer electronics companies, content developers, network programmers and others to extend interactivity to the TV set and other kinds of devices.” On October 15, 2008, Comcast activated the technology on its cable systems in Chicago and Denver. Panasonic HDTV sets with tru2way capability were also made available at selected retail outlets in these areas. The new Panasonic 42” and 50” Viera sets have built-in tru2way CableCARD slots enabling consumers to receive the cable electronic program guide and access two-way digital cable programming, like video on demand, pay-per-view, and other services, without a cable operator-supplied set-top box. To see the announcement from Panasonic and Comcast click here. Another announcement, from the Consumer Electronics Association, is available here. The advantage of the bidirectional cable card for consumers is that it removes the need for another set- top device around the TV and potentially reduces the equipment fee cable operators charge to lease their set-top components.

  • When Mobile TV Meets the Internet and Social Networking by Marie-Jo
    The Future of Mobile TV: When Mobile TV meets the Internet and Social Networking By Marie-José Montpetit, Natalie Klym, and Emmanuel Blain 1 Introduction Over the last few years, online video services and telco IPTV have rocked the traditional model of television. As content delivery moves to an all-IP platform, connecting old and new providers to a growing array of increasingly personal and multi-purpose devices over fixed and mobile networks, the TV experience has become extremely versatile. Mobile TV is not immune to these upheavals, and is itself a disruptive force. In fact, it will soon make little sense to think of mobile TV as distinct from TV in general. Rather, it will be an integral part of an increasingly rich TV experience. This chapter provides a vision for the future of mobile TV as it evolves from standalone to integrated service. This shift will be examined in context of the more general transformation of television, with a focus on the recent integration of social networking. Our vision will thus build towards community-based approaches that harness the power of individuals, from their technologies to their behaviors. We begin by redefining mobile TV, and then give a brief overview of the key trends related to the television infrastructure and industry landscape. From there, we outline the mobile TV ecosystem of content, connections, and devices in more detail, and then demonstrate the growing importance of service features in this new environment, particularly in terms of integrating mobile and social TV. We would like to point out up front that many of the scenarios described in the paper are fraught with issues related to usability, technical difficulties, business models, and/or legalities.

  • Agreement Signed to Acquire Dibcom
    Agreement signed to acquire DiBcom Paris, July 29, 2011 at 8:00 am CET - Parrot, a global leader in wireless devices for mobile phones, is announcing that it has signed an agreement with a view to acquiring 100% of the capital of the French technology company DiBcom, specialized in digital television and radio in particular for the automotive industry. This is particularly strategic for Parrot, which is going to be able to harness unique know-how in the multi-standard digital radio and television field, as well as a broader customer base in the automotive sector. At the same time, the development of a complete solution, incorporating all the technologies developed by both companies, represents a significant competitive advantage and adds further value, particularly on the growing market for infotainment and multimedia car radios. DiBcom designs and markets high-performance integrated chipsets enabling low-power and high mobility digital television and radio reception, for all transmission standards (DVB-T, ISDB-T, ATSC, CMMB, etc.), thanks in particular to a programmable core for signal processing, developed by DiBcom. Founded in 2000, DiBcom has already sold more than 25 million integrated chipsets enabling digital radio television to be received whatever the transmission settings used, in Europe, Asia, Australia, South America and Japan. Its solutions are used for receiving radio and television in handheld multimedia products as well as vehicles, sold worldwide by manufacturers including Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Volvo or Garmin. The transaction consists of €15.9 million to purchase share capital and a net debt buyback (initially mainly convertible bonds) for approximately €12 million.
