Consumer Electronics Show 2011 –
Technicolor (Euronext Paris: TCH) (NYSE: TCH) today launches
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 maximize 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 personalized 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 will be demonstrated for
the first time at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES)
2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“We are very pleased to be working with Technicolor on the next
generation of multi-screen, personalized video solutions,” said Max
Alexander, Director TalkTalk TV. “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.”
“We are very pleased to work with a progressive network service
provider such as TalkTalk,” said Frederic Rose, CEO, Technicolor.
“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
multi-screen, 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.
