NEC Electronics (Europe) is to offer Espial Evo as an application suite for digital TV designs based on the Emmarchitecture2 processor.
The applications include an on screen display, electronic programme guide and managed content viewer, built on an architecture designed for efficiency and speed.
NEC Electronics chose Espial Evo because the "skin-able" nature of the applications enables easy adaptation to client needs and customisation to its brand.
OEMs more often see the need to customise the look and feel of their TV offerings.
The ease with which Espial Evo skins are changed will enable TV manufacturers using NEC Electronics' products to efficiently customise their software design for their various markets.
As a consequence, NEC Electronics' customers could differentiate their TV offerings by changing the look and feel with no change to the underlying code.
"There is a new way to compete in the TV space," states Nick Russell, Digital AV Marketing Manager at NEC Electronics.
"Nowadays, customers are demanding turnkey solutions for integrated DTV".
"From hardware to software, it needs to be quick to market, simple to use and visually appealing".
"Espial and NEC are committed to exceeding these expectations."
Designed for advanced capabilities in resource-constrained devices, Evo requires only a marginal memory footprint.
However, not compromising for functionality, Evo has been created with a modular architecture, allowing television manufacturers to easily include additional features and optional components.
"Offering cutting-edge functionality with an extremely small footprint is every application company's goal".
"I am proud that we have achieved this while introducing the advanced concept of easy skin-ability," comments Neale Foster, Marketing Director for TV.
"Together, Espial and NEC will raise the bar for consumer expectations in the DTV market."
The Evo on Emma2 solution will be demonstrated this week at MediaCast, London, in meeting room C70.
More information can be obtained on the NEC Electronics Stand C12.
Evo is available immediately for market deployments.
