Do-It-Yourself (DIY) product package
When marketing its Comedia middleware for TV set and set-top box makers, IWEDIA Middleware became aware that the design-in project (which consists in porting, integrating, and validating Comedia within the target device) posed a problem for manufacturers. From the latter’s point of view, the return on investment on the costs of this project was frequently questionable, especially for low-end devices.
To address this issue, IWEDIA Middleware designed a new edition of the Comedia product which enables manufacturers to handle the design-in project on their own and to scale the second level of support provided by IWEDIA Middleware’s professional services team.
Dubbed Comedia Do-It-Yourself (DIY), the product is delivered with a toolkit which comprises:
- the Maestro authoring tool to customise the UI,
- the application engine plug-ins delivered in source code,
- the porting layer delivered in source code,
- a wide collection of “.ini” files to configure the DVB system layer, etc.
Courtesy of DIY, products are highly configurable and customisable and design-in projects can be directly handled by Customers with scalable second-tier support from IWEDIA Middleware.
