麻豆官网首页入口 trials "Push-VoD" technology
|
The 麻豆官网首页入口 has started a small closed technical trial to test some of the
technologies around "Push-VoD" to digital video recorders.
听
Working in
partnership with Cabot Communications Ltd, the 麻豆官网首页入口 has developed an advanced
interactive application that allows viewers to catch up from 50 hours of
automatically-recorded content each week.
听
The trial will comprise 300 participants from in and around the London area
and run for approximately three months.
听
The objective of the trial is to test
the technologies around off-air capture and navigation in order to deliver
broadcaster selected content onto a PVR, record, store and replay rich
interactive applications and create a video rich navigation.
听
During the trial, the digital video recorder (DVR) will store up to 100 hours
of TV programmes each week: 50 hours of 麻豆官网首页入口 programmes will be automatically
recorded and stored onto the DVR hard drive after broadcast on a seven-day
rolling basis, and up to 50 hours can be personally recorded by the
triallist.
听
Recorded programmes will be accessible through a bespoke
navigation.
听
The future aspiration of the 麻豆官网首页入口i Push-VoD application is to enable consumers
to create their own personal packages of content, for example an
entertainment or sports specific package.

Rahul Chakkara, Controller of 麻豆官网首页入口i said: "As we move further into an on-demand world, where viewers are looking for more opportunities to take
control of their viewing schedules, it is imperative that the 麻豆官网首页入口 is at the
forefront of exploring new technologies to meet their needs.
听
"We are
delighted to be working in partnership with Cabot Communications on Push-VoD initially via DTT, and to explore the ways in which MHEG and DVR
technology can be used to meet audiences' changing needs."
