DVB-IP is based
around Ocean Blue's Sunrise product and includes Sunrise (DVB-T &
S), Surfsoft PVR (Freeview Playback compatible) and Voyager
MHEG-5 & DSMCC middleware software. These software layers compliment
and enhance normal IP software components such as Java virtual
machines and browsers.
When used in conjunction with IP middleware, it provides
comprehensive support for music, video, TV, High Definition TV,
images, text and the data necessary for a hybrid IPTV set top box.
It also provides support for conditional access and pay-per-view
security systems.
The release comes as a recent study from In Stat shows the demand
for IPTV set top boxes is set to increase dramatically. The study
predicts that the number of digital IPTV STBs worldwide will reach
19 million by 2010 - up from 4.3 million in 2006.
"IPTV is still in its infancy, but growing up fast," commented Ken
Helps, Managing Director of Ocean Blue Software. "Set-top box
designers need ready-to-use software components that incorporate the
latest standards, such as Freeview, in order to bring hardware to
market quickly. Ocean Blue is committed to bringing quality software
and innovation for the Digital Home market."

of a more than 10 man-year development project and is fully tested
