ActiveVideo to Unveil 3D TV User Interface

A 3D TV User Interface that can be delivered to any existing set-top box, CI+ television or Web-connected device will be among the cloud-based innovations that will be demonstrated by ActiveVideo Networks at IBC September 9-14.



ActiveVideo will show how the network processing and ultra-efficient streaming and scaling capabilities of its CloudTV platform can create 3D navigational and menuing environments that surpass the 2D limitations of CI+ modules and existing set-top boxes.

In addition to the 3D demonstration, the ActiveVideo exhibition will show how cable and IPTV providers can:

• Use communication from customers’ existing iPhones, other smartphones and Web-connected devices to the CloudTV platform to enable true, real-time interactive and on-demand services over legacy one-way cable plant;
• 
Utilize ActiveVideo’s iPhone Remote Control App to enable gesture-based interactivity, improved keyboarding and navigation, significantly improved search and discovery, and the ability to upload photos and intuitively control displays on the TV; and
• Provide a uniform experience across any combination of one-way and two-way plant and STBs, CI+ televisions and Web-connected devices.
