Aircode and Triveni Digital Team to Create New Solutions for ITV
Las Vegas — April 24, 2006 — NAB2006 — Triveni Digital Booth #SU1999 —
Aircode and Triveni Digital Inc. announced that they are partnering to develop, promote and service new solutions based on the integration of their leading interactive TV (iTV) and data broadcast platforms. StreamScope™ monitoring and analysis systems and the Skyscraper™ content distribution platform from Triveni Digital will be integrated with the TVPLUSi™ product suite from Aircode. The companies expect the collaboration to accelerate the acceptance and deployment of iTV and content distribution solutions.
New iTV solutions are expected to be both OpenCable Applications Platform (OCAP™) and Advanced Common Application Platform (ACAP) compliant. New applications enabled by the collaboration may include banking, shopping, voting, gaming, distance learning, push VOD and will support a variety of business models for enhancing the profitability of broadcasters adopting these solutions.
“The initial focus of our new partnership will be primarily the US and South Korean markets,” said Oh Young-Sik, President of Aircode. “Triveni Digital’s industry leading products for metadata management and data broadcasting are extremely complimentary to our product suite. Consequently, we expect a smooth and rapid integration process.”
“By working closely with Aircode, we can deliver enhanced products and services to the market in an accelerated fashion,” said Mark Simpson, President and CEO of Triveni Digital. “We continue to be impressed by Aircode’s technological prowess as they develop DTV and iTV systems and services for major South Korean broadcasting stations and are looking forward to this collaboration.”
Aircode’s TVPLUSi™ product suite including an iTV authoring tool and verification system and its world’s first USB type modulator will be on display in Triveni Digital’s booth #SU1999.
