September 11, 2006; 02:21 AM
Oregan Networks, a provider of embedded software for Internet media services and communications, has developed UI mechanisms that empower CPE equipment providers and service operators to deliver a true high definition experience on a variety of set top box platforms. With Oregan TV Browser 3.0, high definition IPTV and Video on Demand portals can be created using Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) technologies, utilising the latest web server-to-client communication methods.

Oregan works with representatives of the entire content delivery value chain, developing fully integrated client architectures that enable a high-end media experience on a minimal CPU and execution memory budget. The company draws on an extensive experience of system integration, as well as acting as a match-maker between Hollywood content aggregators, network operators and STB hardware vendors. An example of such work is a high definition IP Set Top Box reference design which is integrated with the US-based CinemaNow web video service, delivering premium MS-DRM-protected content - now also available as a "fully HD" experience.

Oregan's VP Marketing, Milya Timergaleyeva said, "Subscriber satisfaction and adoption of new services directly depend on a consistently high quality audio-visual experience. Oregan works with selected IP media-focussed silicon partners, ensuring that the resulting reference design delivers high definition audio-visual media, with a complete set of popular new generation codecs: H.264, VC-1 and WMV 9. By enabling a high definition User Interface for video and web-based applications we fully utilise the hardware capabilities, without sacrificing rendering speed or increasing hardware costs."

During IBC 2006, the company is showcasing a variety of hybrid DVB STB reference designs that, in addition to cable, terrestrial and satellite broadcast reception, deliver digital content over any IP network architecture: UPnP home network content, broadband over-the-top media and telco-grade linear IPTV and video on demand services.
