PR Newswire (US)
SAN FRANCISCO, June 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- OpenTV Corp.
(NASDAQ:OPTV), a leading provider of solutions for the delivery of
digital and interactive television, today announced availability of
the OpenTV Integrated Browser(TM) validation platform on Windows(R)
XP for content providers of TVPS's (Japan TV Portal Service)
"acTVila." OpenTV's browser has been used widely by Matsushita
(MEI) and also JVC's digital TVs, and has been established as the
de facto standard for MEI's Tnavi(TM) browser. TVPS, which has
consolidated TV portals such as Tnavi, launched the acTVila portal
in February 2007 as a common TV portal. OpenTV Integrated Browser,
designed for the Japanese interactive television market in
conjunction with MEI, has now been enhanced to support this new and
strategic industry portal. Because it meets the browser
specifications set by Networked Digital Television, which is
referenced by TVPS, OpenTV is able to give content providers a
standard browser development platform that can be used to create
and validate their own content. OpenTV Integrated Browser
validation platform is developed for Windows for accessibility and
ease of use on the PC. This is provided free of charge by OpenTV on
request and will be available on June 21, 2007. "Successful
commercial deployment of TVPS's acTVila portal is dependent on how
its content can be viewed correctly across different sets of TVs.
This new tool now allows content providers to do that validation
using the familiar Windows XP system," said Arata Hirao, General
Manager of OpenTV Japan K.K. "OpenTV's Integrated Browser is
already used as a standard browser in the majority of digital TV
browsers in the market. By extending its support to acTVila and by
providing its validation platform, OpenTV has achieved a new level
of leadership in digital TV portal market. We will continue to
enhance our browser platform as digital TV moves forward." The
acTVila portal is already available on major brands of digital TVs
such as MEI, Sony, Sharp, JVC, Eizo, and Funai, and it is expected
that other home appliance manufacturers will release their own
acTVila-compliant TVs in 2007 to 2008. About OpenTV OpenTV is one
