The announcement was made at IBC 2016, which is being held in Amsterdam from Friday,
September 9th through to Tuesday, September 13th. Both Justek (hall 14, booth J01) and

To target the European market, Justek will add support to HbbTV 2.0 to its Android 5.1

synchronization of applications and contents across devices, push VoD, etc.

the standard since its inception and its HbbTV 1.5 implementation has been widely deployed
by major TV set and STB manufacturers.
iWedia has upgraded its HbbTV browser towards 2.0. The solution is proposed as a
standalone software component bundled with the Blink Web browser and is available for
Linux and Android.
This component may be complemented with other software components of iWedia's product
portfolio: MPEG DASH and HLS client software, TTML engine, CI Plus v1.4 host software.
Efficient porting, integration and validation processes are precisely defined. The
component is accompanied with comprehensive documentations and testing tools.
"We are glad to cooperate with iWedia and to benefit from their strong expertise in
HbbTV," says George Liao, CEO at Justek. "Based on cutting edge technology from chipset
provider HiSilicon, our STB delivers an amazing user experience. Integrating iWedia's
HbbTV 2.0 browser in this STB guarantees that we will be bringing on the European market a
successful product fully compliant with the standard."
"We are delighted to work with Justek, a renowned STB manufacturer with a solid
reputation of reliability", says Herve Creff, VP Marketing at iWedia. "In leveraging our
HbbTV 2.0 software component and accumulated experience, we will enable them to rapidly
take into account a major standard that shapes the European digital TV market."
