Cabot solutions have been designed and tested to address the complex requirements of divergent digital television markets. The Aurora suite is based upon worldwide DVB standards and includes complex functionality which enables it to support deployment throughout Europe as well as emerging digital markets such as Australia, Russia, India and New Zealand.
Cabot is the first software vendor to achieve Freeview Playback Group 1&2 accreditation and the middleware is already validated on multiple platforms and chip sets. Cabot's Freeview Playback accreditation now creates an additional benefit for manufacturers; the ability to provide free-to-air viewers with the kind of viewing experience only previously available from subscription-based television services.
With a variety of business models, Cabot's hardware independent middleware enables silicon providers to offer advanced products to manufacturers with optimal speed to market, thus delivering essential competitive advantage.
MHEG-5 provides a robust, platform-independent environment for the implementation of interactive services in digital television for every digital transmission network. Available as part of the Aurora DVB complete middleware solution or as a MHEG-5 plug-in, Mercator has been designed and tested to enable manufacturers to include the very latest MHEG-5 functionality in their products in the shortest possible time scales.
Cabot products deliver a high level of customisation through simple but powerful development environments. This enables manufacturers to build, test and simulate customised DVB user interfaces in order to create high quality, branded interfaces for simple and effective product differentiation. In addition, Cabot have developed a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) processing module which will enable visual UI changes to be made by graphical designers instead of software engineers, effectively freeing up precious engineering resources.
A Callisto OAD update enables manufacturers to easily enhance products and fix field issues after deployment. Critical market windows can also be maintained by providing manufacturers with the option to release enhanced functionality after the product has been released. Callisto is fully compliant with ETSI SSU and Enhanced SSU standards as well as the UK D-Book, making it the OAD mechanism of choice for deployment in any country supporting these standards.
Conditional Access Modules (CAMs) provide access to Pay-TV services that have been encrypted using a Conditional Access System. Available as part of the Aurora DVB complete middleware solution or as a standalone plug-in solution, Hercules supports a range of fully integrated CAMs for both satellite and terrestrial broadcasts via Common Interface (CI), a compulsory feature for every Integrated Digital Television (IDTV) sold in the EU.
Cabot products have been developed to provide everything that manufacturers need to build digital television devices for every transmission network in one fully integrated and optimised solution. Cabot solutions are designed to be easily tailored to manufacturers' needs in order to enable them to rapidly respond to prevailing market conditions. The scalable, modular architecture of the Aurora suite allows functionality to be added or reduced without further porting effort, based on market and cost requirements.
