Infocast iTV Capture at IFA Berlin 29.8 - 3.9.2003

Interest for the Nokia stand was huge not least because terrestrial digital TV broadcasting has been recently started in the Berlin area covering millions of TV viewers.

Among other interesting products Nokia released their first digital TV set top boxes compatible with the MHP-interactive TV standard. Nokia released products for both satellite and terrestrial reception methods with MHP-services.

On Finnish TV channel MTV3’s interactive TV demonstration set several interesting digital TV services were introduced including Infocast Systems’ iTV Capture services on the Hockey Night program. Hockey Night is a popular sports TV program sending exciting and intensive hockey matches regularly throughout the hockey season. iTV Capture technology provides viewers a way to capture and share emotionally loaded moments from the TV broadcast during the game via MMS messages.
