Digisoft offers dual IPTV and OCAP play to Programmers and Partners

The release of Digisoft’s DigiHost Version 2.2 allows programming networks and service providers to centrally manage interactive services across IPTV and OCAP markets.

Louisville, CO - February 7, 2006 - Digisoft.tv, a global leader in application management for interactive television (iTV) announces the release of DigiHost 2.2 to support IPTV applications as well as multiple platform support for OCAPTM and ETV applications. This launch follows the release of single server hybrid support for IPTV and MHP DTT in September 2005.>

This release becomes especially important to programmers and content providers who want to offer single screen interactive applications across various operators’ platforms, in a centralized approach. A single DigiHost platform can now support a simultaneous hybrid of applications for OCAP TM, ETV, and IPTV allowing migration from one technology to another at the operator's pace.

John Allen, CEO of Digisoft.tv said, "Through our work with US Programmers, the need to deploy applications across the various evolving platforms simultaneously has become quite evident. It is not enough to have strategy for OCAP, ETV and IPTV independent of each other. This release of DigiHost is very exciting in that it provides a play for operators, programmers and providers of managed services to launch and support applications across a variety of platforms while consolidating the return channel information from all platforms concurrently."

"DigiHost 2.2 is another example of the benefits inherent in our open-standard-based API architecture", said Derek Coetzee, CTO of Digisoft. "We can leverage applications to run on any technology, open or proprietary, leveraging DigiHost servers on top of simple communication protocols. This includes legacy devices, new emerging devices and even mobile devices. This allows powerful, cross-platform server-side functionality on one server product, reducing development costs and operational overhead."

The full functionality of DigiHost 2.2 will be on display at the upcoming IPTV World in London, March 6-8 and NCTA in Atlanta, April 9-11.
