tru2way Applications
in the Spotlight



Panasonic is working
with tru2way application developers including Related Content Database
(RCDb) and Zodiac Interactive to help broaden the application space for
tru2way products.



RCDb is demonstrating
for the first time this week the live integration of Panasonic's leading
tru2way set-top box (STB) with the RCDb web services platform. This
integration lays the foundation for bringing new consumer Internet
experiences to the nation's leading cable operators.



The combination of the
Internet capabilities of the Panasonic STB and the RCDb network software
platform enable a cable operator to integrate, deploy and manage
popular consumer services from across the Web without the need for a
browser, keyboard or mouse on the consumer device.



Zodiac Interactive will
provide live demonstrations, utilizing Panasonic's set-top boxes, of
its new PowerUp AMS, the world's first server-based offering to
deliver multi-screen, two-way connectivity between STBs and mobile
Internet devices. This solution provides universal integration between
Web and mobile services for multi-screen convergence in both today's
legacy, and tomorrow's next-generation MSO STB environments.



New Remote User
Interface Technology Debuts



Panasonic is
introducing its JavaScript® based Remote User Interface (RUI) technology
called AJAX-CE (Asynchronous JavaScript + XML CE). Panasonic is
offering this technology to MSO's to establish AJAX-CE as the baseline
RUI technology to deliver a rich user interface with minimal integration
effort. AJAX-CE can extend the MSO's content and services to any
device on the home network. AJAX-CE is the active agent deployed in
millions of Panasonic Plasma HDTV's and Blu-ray players that enable the
VIERA CAST™ IPTV service and is a proven technology to deliver scalable
cloud-based applications and services to lightweight consumer
electronics clients.
