TVEED Receives Gold Award at ITVA Festival
ITVA Award Gold for the Patent of mm1 Consulting & Management
Stuttgart, November 24, 2009 - The “TVEED” product, developed by the corporate
consulting company mm1 Consulting & Management in Stuttgart, was awarded
the Special Patent Prize of the ITVA Gold Award at the 17th ITVA Festival in
Cologne on November 20. This process was first introduced on the IFA 2008 and
will be registered in the German Patent Registry. It has already been nominated
for the "2009 IT Innovation Award" from the Initiative Mittelstand and received
their “Qualified Product” seal of approval. Volker Scholz, Managing Director of
mm1 Consulting & Management, described the product: „TVEED is a lean and
adaptable process that makes it possible to synchronously combine linear TV
programming with the various possible uses of the Internet.”
According to mm1, Interactive TV offers consumers numerous additional services
and gives media companies an opportunity to expand their program content and
respond to customers in a more focused manner. The TV signal and the Internet
are brought together in an end device equipped with TVEED technology. It is not
necessary to alter the TV signal to do so. Helge di Marino, Senior Consultant and
developer of TVEED summarized the process during the award: “The HbbTV
standard has now also made it possible in Germany to link interactive content
with linear TV programming. The Internet is already offering numerous additional
possibilities, regardless of the new standard. It is also obvious that this
development is progressing at a rapid pace. TVEED offers a bridge here. It can be
used as a stand-alone method, or in addition to HbbTV. I am very excited about
the award TVEED has received.“
