OPERA FOR TV
Including all of the latest innovations from the Internet, Opera is both a powerful Internet browser and a flexible execution environment for set-top boxes.
Operas Interactive Program Guide with user interfaces for TV and Mobile, as well as Voice activation, is an excellent example of how cutting-edge Web technology can be used to make cross platform applications. Operas interoperable Web technology enables OEMs and operators to quickly and cost effectively launch exciting new interactive services, from Interactive Program Guides to personal video recorders. Opera works closely with middleware and STB vendors, making it easy to deploy Opera into digital and IPTV networks. Unlike native technology, TV applications created with Opera can be dynamic, quickly updated and easily ported to new devices and platforms. Operas fast Javascript and rendering engines with Native Javascript Extensions enable user interfaces created with Opera to control the complete device.

OPERA FOR WEB APPLICATIONS

Web applications are faster to market and cheaper to develop than native code. Most home media applications can be developed using HTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript. Together, this powerful suite of standardized technologies can be used to efficiently develop cross-platform applications using regular Internet authoring tools.
With Opera for Home Media, dynamic user interfaces are easy to create. Operas powerful and fast layout engine allows applications to update any part of the screen, without causing the entire screen to be re-drawn. Operas JavaScript and rendering engines are the fastest on the market, enabling even complex applications to run smoothly. Using JavaScript, Web applications can communicate asynchronously with a server using standard XML technology. This means that the user does not have to wait for slow server responses, and existing server infrastructure can be re-used. Operas JavaScript extensions enable JavaScript to interact with the device, providing a total solution for the user interfaces. JavaScript can be used to change TV channels, adjust the volume, make a phone call or even playback a song. Operas complete and fast CSS implementation enables the same Web applications to be optimally presented on different devices and screen sizes.

FEATURES
STAnDARDS SuPPORT Operas full compliance with W3C standards support is reinforced with Operas support of additional industry standards such as DVB-HTML and ATVEF. AnY SiZED DiSPlAY Operas proprietary Extensible Rendering Architecture (ERA) re-formats Internet pages on the fly to suit any screen size, from two-inch LCDs, to giant 16:9 flat panel TVs. Horizontal scrolling is eliminated, and anti-flicker technology and TVoptimized fonts provide steady images on traditional CRT screens. AnY inPuT DEVicE Operas spatial navigation capabilities make it easy to navigate on platforms that do not have a mouse. Spatial navigation is easily configured to work with a remote control, game pad or keyboard. Operas integration with IBM ViaVoice enables users to interact with Opera using voice commands. inTERnATiOnAliZATiOn Opera supports Unicode and proprietary character encodings, and has full support for Bi-Directional scripts. Global deployments are powered using Input method editors and the integrated iType font engine. fAST inTEgRATiOn Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and middleware vendors can easily integrate Opera with device hardware and software using Operas well-documented APIs and code examples. Pre-integrated ports reduce time to market for popular architectures. EXTEnSiBlE Operas native JavaScript extensions enable OEMs to create new JavaScript objects and methods that can be used to control the home media device. Support for new content types can be added using the Operas APIs for plug-ins and extensions.
