SCM Microsystems and Microsoft are set to make separate systems for video, music and internet access a thing of the past with the launch of St@rbay.
St@rbay is a series of receiver modules that enables users to access entertainment services from one device. It is claimed to be the first secure broadband access device to make use of the TV features being incorporated into the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system.
Using one remote control device, consumers can access services including cable, satellite and terrestrial television, streaming video, TV time shifting, video games, internet browsers and downloads.
By adding more St@rbay receivers, manufacturers can provide picture-in-picture and record-one-watch-another services while feeding a range of TV channels over a high-bandwidth home network.
Luc Vantalon, vice president of business development at SCM, said: "The provision of premium TV services on the PC platform is a long-awaited breakthrough."
