Alticast Launches AwakenTV GUI for MHP and tru2way


Alticast Launches AwakenTV GUI for MHP and tru2way

Its frustrating to know that Java in set top boxes is capable of so much more than people have done so far in terms of graphics performance. I'm really pleased therefore that AwakenTV is finally showing the real power of GEM graphics. Smooth, fast, animated HD visuals that really impress in standard GEM. Multiple videos, images, transition effects etc. all running smooth at HD. AwakenTV is a huge visual step in GEM applications.

Underlying it are two technologies. FastMHP is a version of the MHP stack which is completely optimised. The JVM itself is optimised per processor! The graphics exploit whatever graphics hardware is available - AwakenTV runs very fast on set top boxes without OpenGL hardware. This FastMHP enables the incredible performance of AwakenTV.

The second technology is altiExcite(TM) which is Alticast back office and client solution for displaying many moving videos at once. In the example from which the image above is taken, the video previews are playing real time. It also enhances channel zap time to unbelieveable speeds.
