Zignal is a software platform for screen-based entertainment and information services on fixed, mobile and converged networks. The platform’s user interface significantly improves interactivity with users, and enables operators to deliver new revenue streams on fixed, mobile and converged networks.
Ekioh’s SVG browser has been designed specifically for set top boxes and uses the latest web 2.0 standards. It outperforms existing STB UI browsers by concentrating on features required for user interfaces. Integrated JavaScript allows Zignal to be seamlessly transferred from running on an HTML browser to SVG.
“Industria has been investigating alternative browser technology since realising that browser-based IPTV portal solutions would suffer on HD devices.” says Industria CTO Stefan Baxter. “Based upon Ekioh’s expert knowledge of devices used in the IPTV space and browser technology, they have managed to build a unique browser that renders SVG [Scalable Vector Graphics] faster than anything we have previously experienced. We now have the tools required to deliver a fast and intuitive user interface that is ‘true to the TV experience.’”
"The Zignal client is a great example of how a fast, clean user interface should be designed. The Industria team have used open standards to create a visually impressive, high-definition layout with blistering performance,"
