itaas approaches the evaluation process with a wide range of experience across multiple  development platforms and a variety of hardware platforms including Dish, DirecTV, EBIF, tru2way, IPTV, Cisco, Motorola, and Time Warner’s MDN/ODN.  Additionally, since our affiliation does not lie with a specific platform, we are able to choose the best solution to meet customers’ needs.

Our experts will help you determine the feasibility, performance, and interoperability of your solution/application. Our technology experts will evaluate tools and solutions provided by third parties, analyze any gaps that exist, and recommend the most cost-effective solution that fits your requirements.  

For instance, one frequently requested feasibility study is to determine if a particular user interface which is currently built using Java script can be converted to a Flash-based platform. Our team would determine whether this conversion is feasible and at what performance level. Finally, the team will also establish whether any compatibility issues exist with the headend or other existing components.

Involving our team early in the project with technology and feasibility studies can significantly reduce your costs later in the project’s life and can also provide invaluable insights that will dramatically increase the success of your project.

Our team of architects at itaas has the unique opportunity of working with the key constituents in the iTV industry giving them a comprehensive understanding of the digital infrastructure complexities in a multi-vendor environment. This expertise, combined with our client and server experience, will provide our customers with an efficient solution.

A typical System Architecture & Design project which itaas has performed is to design a Switched Digital Video (SDV) architecture. This project included defining the SDV client and SDV server interaction, the STB discovery process, and the channel availability. This solution was optimized for both efficiency and effectiveness to provide a seamless end user experience.

Our iTV experts have the comprehensive knowledge and expertise to translate the most complicated requirements into a simple design that is scalable and flexible.

With our end-to-end software development expertise in digital television, itaas can assist you with any of your iTV software development needs. We have experience across a broad range of middleware platforms and operating systems. We combine this expertise with hands-on development experience with digital headend components, embedded software, and custom tools to address all of your development challenges.

We provide turnkey solutions that analyze, design, develop, and test your software requirements – be it a simple application or a complex API. We will also provide solutions to specific software requirements with a high degree of complexity. Our services further extend to maintenance and support for existing software.

Our client expertise includes application & client development in EBIF, tru2way, IPTV and SARA among other cable platforms. We also specialize in middleware such as device drivers, operating system and boot loaders, stacks, protocols, and chipsets. Our backend expertise includes home networking, Switched Digital Video (SDV),Network PVR, and VOD among others.

With in-depth knowledge of the digital environment from set-top boxes to headend, our experts can seamlessly integrate client, middleware and server components. Our teams will develop, set up, and test glue layers that will enhance the functionality of your software. Our services extend to full system integration, multi-vendor coordination, testing, and support.

A typical integration project involves integrating a solution developed for a specific platform across multiple platforms. These project require both our client, and server development expertise to ensure that the middleware functioned in all environments.

Our experts will ensure that your custom solution works seamlessly with multimedia devices from multiple vendors across multiple platforms.
