PA1 Osmosys MHP Solution ProposalV5
PA1 Osmosys MHP Solution ProposalV5
1. Introduction
Osmosys and partners propose to make available to broadcaster all the necessary
software for creating, play-out and execution of MHP content. This solution is suitable
for use in MHP trials and subsequent deployment.
We can as a united group (Osmosys and partners) provide a ‘total systems’ approach
that will give a ‘plug & play’ methodology that will allow the path to deployment of an
MHP ‘open standard’ enabled system; We would see the following components:
2. Company background
The ‘Digital TV Market’ is completely fragmented with ‘Proprietary
Middleware’interactive TV solutions such as: OpenTV, Liberate, MediaHighway,
MicrosoftTV, NDSCore, etc. The DVB (www.dvb.org) Consortium addressed this issue
and published via ETSI, the Open Standard DVB-MHP Specification; this was
consequently adopted by CableLabs (www.cablelabs.com) in the USA for the basis of
OCAP.
Osmosys S.A. was created in order to focus on providing these latest generations of
'Open Standard Middleware Solutions and Services' for the fast growing Interactive TV
market. Headquartered in Geneva - Switzerland with its R&D & Customer Care centres
in Poland, Osmosys is opening a USA subsidiary in San Jose California and will also
expand into Asia in the very near future.
Osmosys has been selected by leading companies in the Silicon, CE and STB markets
and has completed successful ports on a mix of 'Reference Platforms' and 'Market
Implemented' MHP enabled receivers.
Osmosys can now boast the most deployed 'Open Standard Middleware' in the world.
Osmosys MHP products are deployed in both free to air and pay-tv environments on
terrestrial, cable and satellite network.
Osmosys Navigator
The Osmosys Navigator operates with the award-winning Osmosys MHP/OCAP
middleware to provide a complete software solution for digital receivers. The Osmosys
Navigator allows the end-user to intuitively install, operate and manage the receiver.
The Osmosys Navigator can also be easily customised to your specific needs. Without
changing a line of code, you can completely alter the look and feel of the Osmosys
Navigator and tune its behaviour. For example, the Osmosys Navigator can easily be
customised to match existing products on your network or in your product range. As a
reliable and thoroughly tested solution it cuts development and support costs to an
absolute minimum.

Technical Specification
Osmosys Tattoo
Customise the Osmosys NAVIGATOR in minutes without any coding!
Osmosys TATTOO is an intuitive and easy to use editing tool for rapid creation of your
own look & feel for any Osmosys-powered digital receiver.
A user can modify each screen with a few mouse clicks taking advantage of the
WYSIWYG visual preview. Use of templates makes the development even faster.
The new look & feel can be easily deployed on top of the existing Osmosys
NAVIGATOR.
The approach delivers dramatic cost reduction for the development and testing phase,
and allows excellent time-to-market benefits.

Key Features
OSMOSYS SDK 2.0 is offered with a customer service called “OSMOSYS Developer
Program” where developers can benefit from the OSMOSYS technical and business
expertise.
Furthermore Osmosys also propose MHP training sessions. Two types of trainings are
proposed: a 2-day MHP Introduction and a 3-day MHP developer workshop.
The MHP Introduction will explore the MHP 1.0.x standard: what’s provided in the MHP
interface, what’s possible now and what will be possible in future versions (MHP 1.1 &
2.0). At the end of the two days you will not only have a thorough insight into the
architecture and functionality of an MHP-compliant solution, but also get an inside view
on a set of real-life case studies.
The 3-day MHP developer workshop is oriented to (Java) developers and/or architects
who want to start building MHP services. This hands-on track will teach you how to
create an Xlet, how to build your own UI components and how you can use and extend
the HAVi toolset. Moreover you will learn to write applications which will make full-use
of the return-channel architecture of the current range of MHP-STB’s. This workshop is
a hands-on practical workshop based around the development of fully working MHP
services. Strong emphasis is laid on practical exercises and working examples. Basic
knowledge of Java is necessary for the Technical workshop.
In case Java knowledge is missing in your team, we also provide a 2-day MHP-oriented
Java crash-course that will get you on track to follow the complete MHP workshop.
Finally, depending on the importance your organization is considering today MHP, an
executive briefing can be given at management level to explain the basics of MHP
development.
Osmosys is working today with various authoring tools such as Cardinal, Ensequence,
Emuse, Sublime, TeleAuthor and Prime TV.
Such tool is not offered in the following proposal however it can be integrated upon
customer request.
