BetaResearch hopes to deploy more than 5m 2nd gen d-boxes... Kirch plans for next-generation digital TV. 11/01/98 Screen Digest Copyright 1998 Information Access Company. All rights reserved. BetaResearch, technology arm of German media group Kirch, has identified key elements in its plans for second-generation digital TV systems. Its d - box decoder deployed for the German DF1 digital direct-to-home satellite service was one of the first such technologies and looks dated compared, for example, with state-of-the-art boxes being deployed by BSkyB in the UK. In line with Digital Video Broadcasting group's standardisation efforts (see 1998/212a3), BetaResearch has elected to base its next boxes on Java programming language. It has selected Sun Microsystems's ChorusOS real-time embedded operating system--another coup for Sun (USA; + 1/408 863 3275; www.sun.com) after US cable giant TCI also elected to use its system (see 1998/27b1). From early 1999, BetaResearch hopes to deploy more than 5m second-generation d-boxes and hopes to expand its market beyond the current Kirch markets and initial manufacturers (see 1998/50a4).
