VISIONIK
has following competence areas:
Platform
Services.
Based on six years of
experience planning, conceptualising, developing, integrating and running
interactive TV (iTV) services we have learned that the main drivers behind
launching or expanding an iTV platform are: Entertainment, Information,
Communication and Transaction services.
Taking a starting point
in these
four categories, our interactive TV portfolio demonstrates the unique depth and
breadth of this experience such as, EPGs, portals, mosaic browsing screens,
games, home banking, betting, messaging services as well as news, information,
weather and transactional services. Much of this work is genuinely pioneering –
finding innovative solutions to complex technical issues and developing “first
of breed” applications and services. Our
platform services are developed on different middlewares and are deployed across
cable, satellite and terrestrial networks throughout the world.
Enhanced
TV.
Enhancing broadcast content and traditional programming turns the TV viewing
into a new experience. In January 2001, VISIONIK
and the Danish Broadcasting Corporation broke new ground by introducing the
first truly live enhanced TV show on consumer issues ever to be broadcast. The
show, ROFL, has been honoured with two prominent industry awards - the EMMA in
2000 and the IBC Nombre d’Or award in 2001 for best interactive TV
application.
Since
then we have further developed the technology and content editing facilities for
producers. The last project was an enhanced TV application for the World Cup
Soccer 2002 for Arab Radio and Television.
Technology
and Infrastructure.
Our Backstage® technology framework enables interactive services and rich media
distribution for network operators and broadcasters. Our commitment to
interactive services and media convergence is ultimately represented by our Rich
Media Convergence Center, an Authorized iForce Ready Center; a
customer proof-of-concept and demonstration center for media convergence and
distribution, which we have created together with Sun Microsystems and a
world-class team of best-of-breed partners. The Center is located in Copenhagen.
Games.
Our enhanced games offering and portfolio of set-top box games are currently
running in more than eight networks across the globe. The
games range from amusing and engaging ones dedicated towards kids to
innovative, demanding and entertaining games meant for the older gaming
audience. Different game genres include strategy, puzzle, quiz, sports, arcade
and board games.
