The company says the enhancement means Sunrise DVB is now capable of working as either the core of the system or as a plug-in module to a more complex, bus driven architecture, where there may be multiple presentation engines and other processes running alongside the DVB Core.
Ocean Blue believes the new generation of software is in line with the expectations of next generation products and has added the ability to link external graphic environments to Sunrise, to generate the user interface.
This means developers can replace the native UI with an interface built in QT, CSS3 or Adobe Flash, generating a richer user experience.
It sees the development as key to embracing the hybrid market (driven by solutions such as Android, Google TV and YouView) where the primary focus is on IP technology, but the requirement for a stable and mature broadcast solution is essential.
