10. - 14. September 2010
DiscVision GmbH and Woosha BV present the first results of their recently started cooperation
on the IBC 2010 starting on September 10th in Amsterdam.
While people at DiscVision GmbH are experts on STB and especially on PVR technologies, the team
of Woosha BV collects experts on technologies for mobile applications and mobile devices. The cooperation
of both companies establishes a strong partnership for the development of technologies that
allow the control of residential STB and PVR systems using mobile devices such as Android phones,
iPhones, iPads and much others.
Using the increasing power and availability of the mobile Internet, it is interesting for the mobile user
of a PVR or STB to control his device not only from the living room but indirectly also from all locations
within his home but also on the go, i.e. from anywhere outside his home. Thus, the typical scenario that a
person cannot make it in time to his home to watch the soccer match in the evening but connects to his PVR
via a mobile phone and schedules the recording, is a completelly understood scenario and is exactly the
application background of the technology presented by Woosha and DiscVision.
DiscVision has developed for this purpose the connectTV technology that allows to communicate from
any IP device to the STB / PVR within the home network without making it necessary to change any
setting on the router system at home. Thus, the user just performs a "pairing" of his device with an anoynmous
login on a web page and from this moment on, can control the device from this web page.
Woosha is the first to integrate the connectTV protocol into an embedded application that runs on an
Android phone and allows instantly to connect to the DiscVision PVR system. The application that is
presented to the public for the first time on IBC 2010 collects functionality for the display of the EPG
from the STB, scheduling of recording, access to the times and recorded events and certain other
functionalities. The system can also be used as a complete replacement of the infrared remote control
as it is possible to send every remote control command to the STB. In this way, the system controls
the switching of TV and radio channels as well as the playback of media from the connected hard disk
drive within the overall home of the user.
The first implementation of the system was done for the eviado one hybrid STB system that is
presented on the booth of Aprico / Philips at the IBC.More information about both companies is availble at the
web sites www.woosha.it and www.discvision.com
