TalkTalk To Trial Technicolor's New MediaNavi Content Platform

Technicolor has launched its new MediaNavi platform designed to make navigating the universe of content simple, seamless, and social for consumers everywhere.
MediaNavi serves both consumer electronics manufacturers striving to maximise the value of their connected devices, as well as network service providers in the broadband cable, telco and satellite markets.
Technicolor is also announcing a partnership with TalkTalk, a leading UK broadband provider, to trial MediaNavi on tablets as a personalised and enriched second screen video experience. In further collaboration, the two companies are working together on the future integration of MediaNavi into TalkTalk's set-top boxes.
Technicolor's new platform was demonstrated for the first time at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Max Alexander, Director of TalkTalk TV, said: "We are very pleased to be working with Technicolor on the next generation of multi-screen, personalised video solutions. With Technicolor's MediaNavi, we are looking at new ways to provide a consistent approach across multiple devices and to be able to offer our customers a truly premiere user interface within a touch screen tablet device."
Frederic Rose, CEO of Technicolor, said: "We are very pleased to work with a progressive network service provider such as TalkTalk. With MediaNavi, we're committed to helping TalkTalk provide an enhanced user experience to their consumers, while helping to reduce churn and grow their client base."
As more home and portable devices become internet connected, cloud-based solutions such as MediaNavi help consumers enjoy a more robust yet simplified experience.
MediaNavi stimulates consumers to discover and enjoy content in a more simple and seamless manner via advanced metadata techniques combined with MediaNavi's new multiscreen, touch enabled interface. These techniques also enable a "backstage" view into the content details in a TV first friendly manner that keeps the detail on the MediaNavi device and the desired show on the consumer's big screen TV.
