- Single Chip IDTV - AuroraTV
- The advent of analogue switch-off has created a marketplace that is full of both challenges and opportunities for manufacturers within the digital television industry. While many EU countries have announced their analogue switchover plans and have mandatory requirements for TVs to include DVB-T support, there remains a lengthy transition period of around 5 – 10 years for analogue-digital broadcasts to become purely digital.
- Connected Home Interoperability Software
- The typical family home contains a range of digital devices which are used to record and enjoy a variety of digital experiences such as movies, television programmes, music, home video, games and photos.
- Push VOD
- Recent market research and consumer activity has demonstrated a huge amount of interest in ‘on-demand’ services. Consumer acceptance of Digital Television Recorders (DTRs) have reached new levels and are no longer the domain of technology buffs, but ordinary viewers who want to be able to control when they watch, listen and utilise broadcast content.
- Scalable Vector Graphics
- In the increasingly crowded and competitive digital receiver marketplace, the ability to create strongly branded, differentiated products is critical for manufacturers to attain market advantage. One of the most effective ways to achieve this level of differentiation is through the development of advanced User Interfaces (UIs) which can differ throughout the product line and across multiple regions.
- Media Browser
- In order to provide manufacturers with access to a range of media content access technology, Cabot have developed a multi-media content viewer which provides easy access to MP3s, JPEGs and games (depending on platform capability).
