Technicolour Launches MediaNavi Content Platform

Technicolour recently announced the launch of its MediaNavi multi-screen content platform designed to make navigating the universe of content simple, seamless and social for consumers everywhere.
MediaNavi serves both cable, telco and satellite providers as well as consumer electronics manufacturers striving to maximise the value of their connected devices.
Technicolour's MediaNavi user experience is the first cross-platform/cross-operating system user experience geared towards network service providers and consumer electronics manufacturers, was demonstrated for the first time at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Frederic Rose, Chief Executive Officer of Technicolour, said: "MediaNavi was developed to bring the real service power of networks to devices such as tablets, set-top boxes, and mobile devices enabling consumers to discover new content, share their discovery with their social network and consume content in a rich and immersive manner."
MediaNavi stimulates consumers to discover and enjoy content in a more simple and seamless manner via advanced metadata techniques combined with MediaNavi's new multi-screen, touch enabled interface. These techniques also enables a backstage view into the content details in a "TV first" friendly manner that keeps the detail on the MediaNavi device and the main programming on the consumer's big screen TV.
Mr Rose further commented: "With our near 100 year history of serving content creators and studios worldwide, always with an emphasis on image quality, the power of metadata is something Technicolour truly understands. Leveraging metadata to power the user experience in a new manner is a unique goal of MediaNavi. Another is to deliver MediaNavi as a cross platform, device agnostic solution that operators can deploy quickly, while utilising many of their legacy set-top box devices in the process."
As more home and portable devices become Internet connected, cloud-based solutions such as MediaNavi help consumers enjoy a more robust yet simplified experience. MediaNavi is available for trial in the Spring of 2011.
