Strategy & Technology is launching the MHEG Presenter 2 product suite at IBC2009, which builds on the existing support for digital teletext and other information services with new modules for Video on Demand (VoD) support. The latest version of
MHEG Presenter, which allows broadcasters to create complex MHEG (
Multimedia and Hypermedia Information coding Expert Group) applications using graphical layout tools and structured content data without writing any MHEG code, now supports IP-connected
CI Plus (
CI+) modules and hybrid IP/broadcast receivers, where content is delivered using the
MHEG Interaction Channel specification. MHEG Presenter 2 will be used to a show a demonstration of CI+ VoD developed by
S&T in collaboration with
Tandberg Television (part of the Ericsson Group) and
Neotion, both of which are also demonstrating applications using MHEG Presenter 2 at the show. With CI+ VoD, operators are able to deliver network-based on-demand video services including catch-up TV without the need for a STB, greatly reducing per-subscriber costs.
