Motorola Introduces New Range of IPTV Accessory Products at IBC 2010

New additions provide style, environmental efficiency and innovative tools to navigate the Internet Era of TV

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- IBC 2010 -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) today introduced the latest accessories for its industry-leading IPTV set-tops. Meeting the demands of today's connected TV experience; the range of remote control units (RCU) are on show at this year's IBC (Motorola stand, Hall 1 F30).

-- NYXgreen: The NYXgreen and dock is Motorola's environmentally friendly
RCU option. Eliminating traditional batteries, the RCU is powered by
super capacitors, which can last for up to two weeks of use after
charging via USB for just 60 seconds. Available by the end of 2010,
this unit is particularly well suited to the hotel environment where
maintaining batteries proves costly and inefficient. Looking forward,
Motorola is collaborating with the Angstrom Laboratory of Uppsala
University on an innovative algae battery.
-- NYXboard: The NYXboard combines the traditional remote control form
with a full keyboard to create a more intuitive navigational
experience for sophisticated interactive TV services as well as
traditional linear TV. Able to control both the set-top and television
set, the NYXboard has sensors to recognise which side of the remote is
being used in order to activate the buttons accordingly. The keyboard
function answers the demands of navigating content in the Internet Era
of TV, such as searching through larger and more complex on-demand
libraries or accessing web content on the TV. NYXboard will be
available by the end of 2010.
-- M-TREM and MRCU180-BL: Also on show at IBC is the high quality
mid-range M-TREM and the MRCU180-BL, which adds backlighting to the
buttons on this already popular unit. Both the M-TREM and MRCU180-BL
are available to ship today.

"Motorola's latest RCUs are the perfect accessories for the Internet Era of TV, where consumers must find relevant content in the infinite catalog of entertainment. Whether they want a device boasting style, innovation or environmental efficiency, Motorola has a solution to meet their needs," commented Keith Kelley, vice president and general manager EMEA & Asia Pacific consumer premise equipment, Motorola Mobility.
