IBC 2008 Hall 1. Stand D11
Thomson plans to demo the latest DVB-IP CDS services for the downloading of content to local storage in the home. The broadband delivery mechanism will appeal to broadcasters and the home networking sectors alike.
The video on demand service is based on content downloaded over a DVB-IPTV managed network that delivers content to multiple home network devices simultaneously.
Visitors to Hall 1 will also be able to watch a DVB-H broadcast that will deliver real time SVC (Scalable Video Coding) encoding, adaptation to frame rates and resolutions. One of the key benefits is an improvement in zapping time on equipped devices.
“In the ever-changing landscape of the business, media and entertainment industries, Thomson is committed to developing forward-thinking solutions and technologies that address these industries’ greatest challenges,” said Gary Donnan, vice-president and head of Thomson’s Corporate Research. He said the advanced research technologies would creatively impact content creation, distribution and consumption.
