TechniSat
TechniSat designs and manufactures a large range of standard and high definition satellite, cable and terrestrial receiving equipment. This includes entry level receivers, DigiCorder receivers, HD-Vision integrated LCD TVs with multiple tuner front ends, all complemented by a range of compatible outdoor equipment. We are committed to MHEG-5 and are including this interactive middleware in some of our product range. We believe that our receivers, enabled with MHEG-5, provide the ideal platform for broadcasters to promote additional content and viewing features. TechniSat currently has its own MHEG-5 application on air.
One of the main commercial benefits of MHEG-5 is its complete cost effectiveness in delivering high levels of TV interactivity, allowing operators to offer a whole host of compelling new revenue generating services using genuine open standards technology. This keeps both deployment and running costs low. The scalability and flexibility of MHEG-5 means that its capabilities are constantly expanding and evolving to meet ever changing consumer demands, and Latens will be aligning itself to technology that has already been proven in the market.
