January 05 2011 - 5:03PM
Business Wire
The RVU Alliance announced today that its members, Broadcom
Corporation, DIRECTV, Entropic Communications, JetHead, Marvell,
Pace, Samsung, Sigma Designs, STMicroelectronics, Technicolor,
Verizon and Zoran, will conduct demonstrations of the RVU Remote
User Interface technology at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las
Vegas from Jan. 6-9.
“It is exciting to see a variety of RVU servers and clients at
CES this year,” said Henry Derovanessian, president of the RVU
Alliance Board of Directors and senior vice president of
Engineering at DIRECTV. “The ease of implementation of RVU is
proven with the number and different types of solutions on display
at CES. With the breadth of available solutions, consumers will
finally benefit from a consistent, feature rich user interface
across all their CE devices.”
CES attendees are encouraged to contact the participating
companies directly to arrange a demonstration of their RVU
solutions technology.
RVU is a client/server-based technology that allows the
television viewer to experience a consistent, pixel accurate,
server-generated user interface, on various consumer electronics
devices. The RVU specification uses widely implemented UPnP and
DLNA technologies to enable a gateway device such as an advanced
set-top box to share its user interface with client devices
including connected smart TVs, Blu-ray players, and tablets.
RVU offers benefits to service providers by making their viewing
experience and features available to connected CE devices in a
consistent manner, and consumers benefit from a consistent user
experience throughout the home across all their CE devices. A full,
independent certification program will be in place in the spring of
2011, followed shortly afterwards by market introduction of RVU
devices based on the RVU 1.4 specification. The specification is in
the process of further expansion to version 2.0, which will include
support for HD graphics and other advanced graphics, and additional
profiles to support different classes of client displays.
The RVU Alliance is a non-profit organization created to
facilitate the adoption of the RVU specification. Membership of the
RVU Alliance spans the industry, and includes broadcasters, CE
manufacturers and technology partners in North America, Asia and
Europe.
