Espial (Stand 5. A07) will demonstrate one of the industry’s first DVB-based, HTML5 TV user experiences for Reference Design Kit (RDK) at this year’s IBC. Featuring the Espial STB Client, which offers an Application Framework and an advanced UX framework, the demo will employ the latest open technologies with the DVB standard. By implementing DVB, Espial is further extending RDK-based user experiences to the global community. The Espial demo will feature several next-generation user experience portals, super-fast core video and custom sports apps and access to favorite HTML5 Web apps such as YouTube. The Espial STB Client – based on HTML5 and RDK – extends the capabilities of RDK with an application framework and user experience framework to provide a common application engine for MSOs. This ensures that MSOs can achieve web speed designing and deploying the richest, highest performance user experiences possible across a wide range of STBs, from legacy platforms to home gateways.
