Interactive TV
 

Interactive TV (or Enhanced TV) is today, an accepted and understood way of enabling audiences to interact with a linear broadcast stream through the set top box and thereby increase participation, involvement, recall and brand salience.

We have an experience across the entire value chain of Interactive TV and have created simple games - for Visiware, France, to full-scale Interactive channels - such as Avago, for YooMedia. And from creating the return path Infrastructure for Bell ExpressVu to doing product development for OpenTV.

We use an optimal combination of India based offshore, onshore and onsite delivery to give our clients a cost, speed and quality advantage. We are the only technology company within the iTV area using an offshore also a model to bring efficiency and scalability to iTV sector.

We are also the first company to set up an offshore STB (Set Top Box) farm, so you can test your applications to SSSL (for applications on Sky, in the UK) standards, while benefiting from the offshore cost advantage.

Whether you're planning an interactive strategy, launching an interactive channel or simply want a partner who understands interactive Television application development and SSSL - we could be your partner of choice.
