To fit into Digital Television technology, television broadcasters are going through a phase of transition: they are replacing the signal VHF by UHF signal, acquiring high-definition cameras and changing the mode of production and filming their programs. The broadcasters will also have to adapt to interactivity, novelty of Digital TV which provides an exchange of information between the spectators and broadcast. For the development of interactive applications, its necessary an advanced knowledge on programming languages.

Understanding the urgency of production of interactive applications, Intacto provides tools that accelerate the implementation process, freeing producers of concerns to understand the procedure and making unnecessary to set up a group to develop interactive content.

There are innumerable advantages in investing in interactivity. With the participation of the spectator in the programming, interactivity is able to assess the acceptance of its production and efficiency in the manner in which they are being pushed. Thus, it is possible to identify the needs and desires of its users, adjusting the schedule so as to keep them watching television for more time.

UAnother aspect is the new business opportunity that interactivity brings. The interaction opens doors to the creation of commercial premises suitable for interactive applications, and new directions for the merchandising and better utilization of business hours. These innovations lead to a large investment in the deployment of interactive content from advertisers, bringing thus higher profits for broadcasters.

Intacto Solutions

For producers of programming that uses interactive applications, Intacto has two authoring tools, which streamlines the creation of content, capable of making more efficient and agile the production process. These tools are divided into:

Framework TUIG (Television User Interface Generator)

Framework directed, primarily to developers of applications running on set-top boxes of European standards (MHP), Brazil (Ginga) and Japanese (ISDB). Its main goal optimize the creation of the graphical interface and facilitate communication between the interface layer and business.

iTVProject Authoring Tool

Set of Web 2.0 tools targeted for conception, development and testing of interactive applications for Digital Television. Through an intuitive and easy desktop, the use of this tool does not require advanced knowledge in programming and Java language and can be used both by professional programmers as for people with basic skills in information technology. The iTV Project performs integration of all graphical elements of the framework TUIG and the layer of business.

Through consulting services,Intacto aims to optimize the processes of the creation for Digital TV, since its conception to its approval, giving all necessary support and closely monitoring the progress of projects.
