EUNITE'S NEW SERVICE FOR INTERACTIVE TV

EUNITE the interactive television and convergence specialists have announced the launch of their new TellyTest service which allows companies to analyse how their website behaves when accessed by a set-top box or games console.
The launch follows Eunite’s warning to all website owners and operators to check that sites can be accessed and navigated effectively by Granada, NTL and ONdigital's interactive TV viewers.
TellyTest service looks at flexibility and the level of alteration required to transform a website into an interactive television site, providing a breakdown on functionality, style, creativity, usability and technical adaptability.
Scott Davies, creative director of Eunite said: “Re-engineering websites for the TV audience should be on all creators agenda. There are a host of technical issues to consider, such as refresh rates, font sizes, screen resolution, colour bleeding and use of plug-ins. Eunite will, as part of the service, highlight any issues and provide guidance for modifying web sites to fully utilise interactive TV.”
