Jade Electronic Program Guide Server
The Thomson’s Jade Electronic Program Guide server generates an EPG for any kind of architecture, including small or large headends. It supports numerous inputs for EPG generation, such as XML files, binary files, FTP-based and periodic file transfers, and comes with a full-featured DVB-SI editor. Jade can create EPGs in several languages simultaneously and natively supports non-Latin character sets. Jade can provide national or regional program guides using advanced DVB-SI capabilities such as triggering, automatic bandwidth management, multi-route capabilities, and more. It also enables video-over-IP/ADSL providers to create HTML program guides to let subscribers choose and access their favorite programs directly. When coupled with Thomson's Coral iTV broadcasting server, Jade forms a complete EPG solution that can be leveraged by third-party applications, including MediaHighway, OpenTV, and MHP.
