Osmosys Touts IPTV Apps

GENEVA -- Osmosys S.A., a leader and innovator in the development of open standards Java-based interactive digital television solutions, today announced that it will launch its new end-to-end IPTV Solution at the IPTV World Forum at Olympia, London (March 12-14, 2008). The complete video services delivery platform for standard definition (SD) or high definition (HD) enables the deployment of cost-effective and compelling IPTV and multimedia services over broadband networks.

The solution comprises a number of best-in-class products, using Osmosys’ acclaimed EGG™ 3D graphics technology, open standards middleware based on GEM technology, and a number of server modules, many of them designed to be revenue generating. The solution is controlled by a user friendly front-end system for easy administration. These all run on standard Linux servers.

“Our GEM-based IPTV Solution has been designed and built around an open standard that has stood the test of time, offering a robust and fault tolerant system. Furthermore, the solution provides content interoperability with thousands of standards-based Java and HTML applications, something that proprietary IPTV systems do not, and cannot, offer,” said Paul Bristow, CTO, Osmosys. “With Blu-ray having been declared the winner in the HD DVD battle, every studio is now producing applications in Java, the mandatory standard method for implementing interactive menus on Blu-ray discs. The interoperability of our solution makes it easier for Blu-ray disc content features to be made available on VOD platforms.”
