Belgacom's Interactive TV Project Tests Siemens, nCube

Siemens has selected nCUBE's On Demand platform to power Video On Demand in an interactive digital television (iDTV) pilot of Siemens' SURPASS Home Entertainment turnkey solution for Belgacom. Customers will be able to access a variety of online content and services on their television sets using DSL.



The project, which is the first order for Siemens' SURPASS home entertainment solution, is expected to begin this fall.



In addition to nCUBE, Siemens is working with a number of partners for its SURPASS home entertainment solution including Myrio for the middleware to enable the application, Verimatrix for content protection system, and Tandberg Television for the video broadcast equipment. http://www.ncube.com
