    SysMedia’s Plasma Magenta, content management system helped Liberty Media broadcast an OCAP application from its uplink facility.

    SysMedia is demonstrating an end-to-end solution for the production and distribution of OCAP/ACAP/MHP-compliant interactive TV content and applications at NAB. Highlights will include SysMedia’s Plasma Magenta content management and production system and the JAME Application Framework.

    SysMedia is co-exhibiting at NAB with integration partners Fraunhofer IMK, developers of the JAME MHP Application Framework, and Strategy & Technology (S&T) who offer DSMCC object carousels.

    At NAB, the companies will show an application that’s essentially a two-day movie schedule plus in-depth background information. It can be scheduled and integrated into the transmission stream using S&T’s TSBroadcaster object carousel. An ADB i-CAN set-top box can used to decode it.

    At SysMedia’s DVB booth, visitors can see how these elements combine to provide a system that facilitates the cost-effective production of standards-compliant iTV applications.

    Although the U.S. market for interactive television (iTV) has been choppy at best, the increasing penetration of digital television infrastructure may pave the way for more consumer interest in the medium. That’s good for broadcasters (which are defined in this article as encompassing over-the-air broadcasters, cable operators, and DBS providers). Many who have already implemented interactive television have found it to be a great tool for retaining and attracting viewers and bringing in additional revenue. If your station or network is serious about launching iTV, it should look into working with one of the three main providers of iTV integration services in the United States: NDS, OpenTV, and Triveni Digital.
