Osmosys launches end-to-end IPTV solution for network operators
March 12, 2008 – Osmosys, a provider of open standards Java-based interactive digital television solutions, today announced that it is launching its new end-to-end IPTV solution at the IPTV World Forum.
The video services delivery platform is capable of delivering both standard-definition and high-definition (HD) content and is designed to enable the deployment of cost-effective and compelling IPTV and multimedia services over broadband networks. The solution uses Osmosys’ EGG™ 3D graphics technology, open standards middleware based on GEM technology, a number of server modules, and is controlled by a user friendly front-end system for easy administration, all running 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,” said Paul Bristow, CTO, Osmosys. “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. 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.”
