Neotion
Neotion is the leading provider of solutions enabling manufacturers to integrate MPEG-4 into their technology. It provide highly-sophisticated System-on-a-Chip (SoC) secured MPEG-4 processors allowing digital home convergence, VOD, IPTV and TV 2.0. Neotion is the inventor of the original MPEG-4 decoder in a card designed for Common Interface. It offers a compelling range of MPEG-4 Modules enabling secured silicon-based security, DVR functions in a SD-Card, hybrid IP home network capabilities, and soon additional tuners (up to T2) for genuine legacy TV sets. Using MHEG-5’s rich user interface, Neotion’s Pocket Modules can unleash the scalability of legacy iDTV that now sells in magnitude of millions every year.
MHEG-5 is one of the core technologies embedded in all our TV sets sold in the European region. Our motivation for supporting IMPALA is to see the expansion of broadcast support for MHEG-5 in Europe and beyond. The UK market has proven MHEG stability of operation, and suitability for not only digital teletext delivery, but also for multi-screen video selection of hidden services. Its efficiency in launch speed also makes it ideally placed as an instant display at channel zapping for broadcaster controlled splash-screen, as used for radio screensavers, and non-running service captions.
