Amsterdam, September 2005 - emuse technologies will demonstrate the integration of their industry leading iTV authoring tool Modelstream® and NDS's leading Mediahighway Development Kit (MHDK), at IBC 2005.
The consistently production proven Modelstream allows designers and other non-technical personnel to quickly and easily develop powerful, fully featured interactive TV applications.
As well as providing plug-ins for many of the most popular Integrated Development Environments (IDE) such as NetBeans, Eclipse and JBuilder, MHDK Advanced provides the ability for simulating and testing real set to box including all devices (remote control, hard drive, memories, tuners, modem) from
a single PC.
Coupling the ease of use of Modelstream with NDS's MHDK facilitates the simulation of the complete interactive TV chain, enabling developers to create, edit, test and debug interactive TV applications for MHP and OCAP based set-top boxes and digital TVs.
"We are pleased to have this opportunity to demonstrate the integration of Modelstream and Mediahighway at IBC this year", said Dominic Laval COO emuse technologies ltd, "The two products working together will now enable developers to build a total end to end MHP/OCAP solution."
"MHDK Advanced is already backed by a wide community of users," said Caroline Le Bigot, President & General Manager NDS France. "This new version combines the best of Modelstream and MHDK tools and offers to MHP and OCAP developers an easy and proven way to produce interactive TV applications."
