  Broadcast Engineering - World Edition Extra: MHP and iTV: The real digital difference.
With MHP becoming a reality, it is time to look again at this important technology — this time with the emphasis on applications.
Combining mobility and MHP was a large part of the Multimedia Car Platform (MCP) project, which has shown a prototype system in operation.
MHP datacasting solutions are available from a number of sources, some described in our January edition (“Activating Interactive TV.”) Here, Digital Storage Media-Command and Control (DSM-CC) Object Carousel Server delivers MHP data into the transmission system.

Home servers are being developed, enabling audio and video signals, multimedia and computer data to be accessed from every room in the house, indicating the pattern of future home network structures and applications.
In addition to home automation installations, what might be described as "islands" are being created, based on various different concepts and/or systems, which are, for the present, only one part of the intelligent home and the equipment and installations that it contains.
Showing how these island solutions can be merged to create the universal, intelligent home network will be one of the main objectives of e/home, which is being held in Berlin from 29 to 31 August 2002 (www.ehome-berlin.de).

 Multimedia Home Platform - Indopedia, the Indological knowledgebase
Multimedia Home Platform (DVB-MHP) is an open middleware system standard designed by the DVB project for interactive digital television.
This execution environment is based on the use of a Java (tm) virtual machine and the definition of generic APIs that provide access to the interactive digital TV terminal's typical resources and facilities.
These are written in Java using the MHP API set and consist of a set of class files that are broadcast with a service.

 EETimes.com - Platform approach may hold key to SoC design
MUNICH, Germany — Chip designers are beginning to embrace platforms as a way to deal with the size and complexity of systems-on-chip, executives of several of the world's top semiconductor makers suggested this week.
In illustrating a Pocket Multimedia Platform under development at STMicro, due for rollout in mid-2001, Geyres said, "To design such a power-conscious platform, by far the most important thing is the right partitioning." Using low-power cores and processors will bring the design just so far.
Leon Husson, general manager and executive vice president of Philips Semiconductors, said the company's Nexperia platform alone will need to be implemented at least in three architectures depending on where a Nexperia device is used: at home, in a car or outdoors.
