|
Voyager is Ocean Blue''s DVB-based MHEG-5 middleware system, which enables interactive services (Press Red functionality) on digital TV devices for every transmission network (DVB-T, DVB-S and DVB-C). The red button functionality allows you to use various interactive MHEG applications broadcast with DVB digital TV services.
MHEG-5 facilitates the delivery of interactive features such as news and weather services, home shopping, electronic programming guides (EPGs) and interactive advertising and games. Voyager MHEG has been deployed over 10 million times worldwide and is increasing.
MHEG High Definition (HD)
The DTG has finalised specifications for MHEG support of HD TV broadcast streams on the UK DTT platform (Freeview). The support for HD seeks to ensure that the best possible experience is offered to viewers. There are two parts to the MHEG-5 HD extension; one extension supports hardware that is HD display capable (graphics) and the other supports hardware that is both graphics and stream (H.264) capable.
MHEG HD Country Profiles
MHEG has been selected and deployed in many countries. Each country/operator usually defines their own profile to ensure that devices deployed into their market support the features used by their MHEG applications. Example MHEG country profiles currently supported by Ocean Blue are:
Freeview - UK
Freeview - Australia
TVB - Hong Kong
Freeview - New Zealand
NorDig - Ireland
South Africa
The MHEG specification is constantly evolving and new countries are adopting the technology. Ocean Blue Software continually updates Voyager to ensure our customers have the latest software and functionality. Please contact us for new, up to date country profiles of MHEG.
MHEG Interaction Channel
The Interaction Channel (Return path) extensions to the MHEG standard will enable broadcast interactive services to be delivered via an IP connection. This will allow delivery of additional content and two-way interactivity, providing consumers with greater forms of viewing, entertainment and richer interactive applications such as T-commerce, voting and shopping. |
