Technicolor  (Euronext Paris:TCH) and
NAGRA, the digital TV division of the Kudelski Group (SIX:KUD.S) today announced
a  partnership which will leverage  Technicolor's Qeo communication framework to
develop  innovative applications for OpenTV  5 that enable interoperability with
other  devices and  applications inside  and outside  of the  home. Through this
partnership,  Technicolor and NAGRA are  committed to enhancing consumer's media
experience  by bridging the mobile, smart  home, communication, social media and
video ecosystems.
At  IBC,  NAGRA  and  Technicolor  will  demonstrate  how  a smarter, contextual
parental  control application can be deployed  by using Qeo to synchronize live,
time-shifting  and  remote  content  watching  approval. This application is the
first  of a joint application roadmap that will enhance the video experience for
services providers and consumers using NAGRA's OpenTV 5 middleware.
Qeo  is a revolutionary communication framework for simple, secure communication
between   applications   and  devices.  Its  peer-to-peer,  real-time  and  very
lightweight  nature allows for the rapid development of very innovative services
by interconnecting devices, platforms and applications of all kinds.
Michel Rahier, President for Technicolor's Connected Home Division said: "Our
strategic partnership with NAGRA to develop Qeo-enabled applications
demonstrates the innovative nature of our relationship and our joint commitment
to developing next generation digital life experiences."
"OpenTV 5 offers an extremely flexible and expandable platform anticipating a
broad range of connected home scenarios", said Samir Mehta, Senior Vice
President of NAGRA's Middleware Solutions, "the integration of Technicolor's Qeo
technology is a solid proof point of this flexibility and it clearly opens a new
realm of services opportunities for the Pay-TV and digital media markets."
Qeo  specifications and  development kits  are freely  available at www.qeo-app-
development.com, using an unencumbered, open license model, allowing everyone to
build  its own reference implementation. Technicolor  is preparing to release an
open source version of Qeo, designed to protect the openness of Qeo.
