Advanced Digital Broadcast (亞視科技) will launch its new Multimedia Home Platform (MHP) compliant digital TV set-top box in Finland by year-end, the company said in a statement yesterday.
Finland adopted the MHP standard last year and is upgrading its terrestrial broadcasting infrastructure to deploy 100,000 MHP boxes by the end of 2003. The relatively new technology is an open, common software platform which provides a standardized basis for free-TV, pay-TV, multimedia programming and interactive services. MHP will be installed in set-top boxes, IDTVs (Integrated Digital Television) or on multimedia PCs. There it supports media convergence television with the Internet, for example and the networking of digital components such as televisions, set-top boxes, PCs, telecommunications equipment or DVD players.
