Information Services & Digital Teletext

Digital television has introduced rich information services to enhance the consumer experience and make full use of digital TV. Features such as news, weather and programme information are now commonplace. S&T provide a suite of applications to facilitate rich Information Service provision. Our MHEG technologies allow you to develop custom Information Service applications for almost any purpose. By developing applications that exploit CI+ and VoD we have extended the possibilities of video usage in Information Services. TSBroadcaster can target and deliver your applications with confidence.

MHEG Presenter 2

MHEG Presenter lets you create complex MHEG applications without writing any MHEG Code. Instead, use graphical layout tools and structured content data written in easy-to-read XML. This is processed at the headend to provide highly optimised content data that is interpreted and displayed by the set top box MHEG application. MHEG Presenter is a highly flexible design that speeds up the creation and publication of text and graphical information, including digital teletext, information services and interactive advertising. All of which can be achieved without the need for custom application development.

MHEG Controller

MHEGController is a complete solution for launching and managing multiple MHEG applications on single or multiple channels. Typical uses include display of onscreen prompts (call-to-action onscreen icons) and managing the launch of the required application where multiple applications are available on a service or channel (such as an EPG, interactive advertising and digital teletext).

TSBroadcaster 2

TSBroadcaster 2 is a rock-solid system for delivering interactive television applications. It generates DSM-CC carousels and encodes them into MPEG-2 transport streams for the delivery of signalling, applications and firmware updates. It conforms to OCAP, ETV, DVB-MHP and MHEG standards and has been widely deployed on a global basis.

TSMonitor

TSMonitor watches your broadcast interactive applications and subtitles/closed captions to make sure they are playing out correctly. It detects inaccuracies in output and timing and flags them immediately on a high-level overview page. An operator can then drill-down quickly to more detailed detailed diagnostics. TSMonitor effectively eliminates the need for numerous set-top boxes, monitor screens and human testers. Receivers are virtualised within the user interface, complete with all necessary functionality.
