ONdigital/Canal Plus.................................... ONdigital has initially chosen five manufacturers (Pace, Philips, Sony, Nokia, and Toshiba) to supply the set-top boxes, which will retail at £199. These manufacturers are among 20 companies licensed today to use CANAL+'s MEDIAGUARD and MEDIAHIGHWAY software. A number of manufacturers, including Philips and Sony, have already announced that they will soon begin marketing television sets with built-in set-top box functions in the UK. snip............................... The different channels in the ONdigital bouquet are transmitted from the production units of Carlton, Granada, BSky and BBC/Flextech to the digital broadcasting center in London, via an extensive network of fiber optic cables. The signals are then compacted using DiviCom equipment based on the MPEG-2 international standard and multiplexed on three channels. snip....................................... CANAL+ Technologies, which employs more than 250 highly trained engineers, has built up strong expertise and credibility in the industry. Proof of this lies in the agreement signed last August with consumer electronics manufacturer Pioneer and US-based DiviCom (digital compression and multiplexing) and C-Cube (chip design and manufacturing). This agreement, which does not preclude future partnerships with other manufacturers, will enable CANAL+ to provide end-to-end solutions to digital TV operators around the world and notably in North America. The MEDIAHIGHWAY interactive software will be as easy to adapt to US standards (OpenCable, ATSC, …) as it was to meet the UK requirements. More....................................... cplus.fr
