Espial CEO to Address Application Framework Strategies at RDK Conference

Espial Will Also Demonstrate Innovative RDK Client and IP Back-Office
Solutions


OTTAWA, Dec. 4, 2012 /CNW/ - Espial, a leader in on-demand TV software and solutions, today announced that
it will be exhibiting and presenting at the 2012 RDK Developers
Community Conference to be held Dec. 11-12 at the Marriott Marquis
hotel in New York. During the event, hosted by Comcast and Time Warner
Cable, Espial president and CEO Jaison Dolvane will participate in a
panel discussion titled "RDK Development: Application Framework," on
Dec. 11 at 2:15 p.m. Additionally, Espial will demonstrate innovative
Reference Design Kit (RDK) client and IP back-office solutions.



MSOs are actively evaluating RDK solutions as part of their strategy to
provide leading-edge HTML5 user experiences. By standardizing set-top
box (STB) and gateway software components, RDK allows content
developers, OEM manufacturers, and cable operators to leverage the
benefits of a standardized STB software stack. The key promise is to
accelerate the deployment of next-generation STBs and gateways with a
fully powered HTML5 browser. The RDK Developers Community Conference is
set to drive the adoption of RDK by providing a forum for professional
training and networking opportunities for cable operators and
development partners such as Espial.



"As a strong supporter of open technology and Web standards, Espial
believes RDK is an essential ingredient for MSOs to deliver
next-generation user experiences to consumers," said Dolvane. "Cable
operators will also benefit from dramatic reductions in time and
expense required to quickly deploy advanced STBs in their networks,
while simultaneously driving their own user experience roadmap and
development cycle. Our demonstrations at the 2012 RDK Developers
Community Conference will enable cable operators to witness the power
of RDK in delivering a richer television experience that includes
advanced user interfaces and social media integration, all driven by an
IP service delivery platform."



As part of a panel discussion that includes executives from a variety of
RDK partners, Dolvane will discuss a detailed framework for
successfully delivering cutting-edge video user experiences on
next-generation STBs and multiscreen devices harnessing the power of
HTML5 and IP. The discussion will be moderated by Leslie Ellis,
technology analyst for Multichannel News magazine. At the technology
showcase, Espial will demonstrate a compelling RDK-based user
experience including an interactive program guide, integrated social
media, and cross-device use cases on multiscreen platforms.
