Alticast Demonstrates its
Comprehensive RDK-based Solutions and Services
Amsterdam – March 4,
2015 – Alticast, a global partner for the delivery of media entertainment,
will show European cable operators attending the upcoming Cable Congress trade
show how to take advantage of the Reference Design Kit (RDK) to deliver new
services. The demonstrations will take
place throughout the show (March 11-13) at The Square conference center in
Brussels, Belgium at stand 17.
“Now that the RDK supports the popular European Digital
Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard it is far more applicable to the European
cable market and Cable Congress is the ideal venue for us to demonstrate the
potential of the RDK to operators throughout the continent,” said Tiaan
Schutte, Alticast’s President for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). “As one
of the first vendors to get behind the RDK effort, Alticast has built a
tremendous amount of experience with the RDK and our comprehensive suite of
RDK-based tools and services can enable European cable operators and cable
equipment vendors to take maximum advantage of the RDK.”
Alticast’s key Cable Congress 2015 demonstrations will include:
·
Alticast’s RDK solutions which include modular
and customizable Application Framework building blocks (TVRUA) and User
Interface components (AltiView) that support standard industry interfaces
(HbbTV, OIPF, HTML5/CSS, Java Script/DLNA). These optional solutions enable
operators to supplement or fulfill the operator platform with all of the
components necessary for a robust and versatile RDK solution.
·
Alticast’s collaborative
development environment for RDK code integration is a Cloud-based solution that
enables system-on-a-chip (SoC) vendors, open software providers, multi-system
operator (MSOs) and system integrators to utilize a single workflow and release
structure for RDK code development.
·
Alticast’s Cloud UI application provides a thin client/server model for delivering the
user experience to all devices in the home. This architecture reduces demands
on the STB processor and memory by pre-processing
the UI in the Cloud, enabling cable operators to use ‘thin client’ STBs. Operators can take advantage of Alticast’s
Cloud UI to deploy new user experiences (UX) much quicker. It also provides the
opportunity to present a variety of UX in a household, for example a child-based, a sports or a movie experience.
