Opera and Comtred Corp Working On Interesting Tech
Opera Software is the Norwegian developer behind the innovative and popular Opera web browser. Comtred Corporation is a Taiwanese global supplier of advanced networking solutions. Now that you know who’s who, here’s the news: the two are working on a set-top box that allows you to take your TV watching experience to the web. Comtred Corporation will include Opera functionality in its next-generation set-top box, the STB-7007.
To better put things in perspective, Opera Software provided a few examples. The first one goes like this: as you’re watching a football match and your teem scores a goal, you can tweet about it without having to take your eyes off your TV screen.
The second example goes like this: if you want to learn more about an actor while watching a movie, a Wikipedia widget can provide you with useful information. The third example goes like this: while watching a music video, you can purchase the song via a music store widget, or while watching an add, you can purchase that aid via a widget.
And now, a few words from top figures at Opera Software and Comtrend Corporation.
Opera Software CEO Lars Boilesen provided this comment:
“Every day, we combat and conquer the demanding challenges of connected technology, providing solutions for home TVs and other devices within a digital home environment. Armed with our standards-based approach, we are ready to rock and roll on all connected devices inside the consumer’s home.”
Comtrend Corporation Vice President Robert Yao provided this comment:
“Connected TVs are just taking off in the market. Consumers see that it compliments their TV experience. With Opera’s technology, our set-top boxes are ready to be used by Telcos, cable operators and Internet service providers who can start delivering their services to end users.”
The abovementioned STB-7007 is an IP-based set-top box that supports IPTV, video-on-demand (VoD), near VoD, Internet, and over-the-top video applications in high-definition (HD) and standard-definition (SD) formats.
