Zodiac Interactive (News - Alert), a developer of software-based platforms and solutions for interactive television (iTV) and converged digital media, announced it will showcase the Social Media and Messaging Solution Suites of its PowerUp AMS Platform from The Cable Show CableNet Pavilion in Chicago.

Among the solutions and applications that Zodiac will demo include PowerUp AMS Social Media Application, PowerUp AMS Messaging Application, PowerUp OpenGL Module for tru2way, and PowerUp HTML5 Solution for tru2way.

At the Cable Show, the company will also demonstrate HTML5 applications to be based on its PowerUp for HTML5 Platform, which is currently under development, as well as the PowerUp OpenGL module now available for the PowerUp for tru2way Platform, company officials said.

The Zodiac PowerUp HTML5 solution will deliver a Web browser presentation engine, combined with a services layer to provide a rich authoring environment with full browser control of all systems and subsystems for both tru2way and IPTV (News - Alert) infrastructures.

The solution has been developed as a services-based layered architecture and provides a thin client front-end supported by a robust service layer that separates the presentation layer from the underlying business logic.

Brandon Brown, Zodiac Interactive CEO, said, “The capabilities and economies of scale delivered by PowerUp AMS have, to-date, resulted in platform licenses for carrier wide usage by two North American MSOs, which are deploying four Utility Modules and two solution suites.”

“In addition, Zodiac also now provides the opportunity for service providers to utilize all the advantages of HTML5 and OpenGL on tru2way and IPTV, which we will showcase to the general public at this week’s Cable Show in Chicago,” Brown added.

Zodiac is an Emmy award winner. Recently Zodiac Interactive announced its plans to associate with Videotron (News - Alert) to launch a new, interactive multi-platform games portfolio.
