Project Canvas partners further engage with device manufacturers

This process will enable the joint venture to rapidly engage new device partners and develop a broad base of manufacturers supporting Canvas - with the ambition to extend its current programme.

Project Canvas director, Richard Halton said, “Canvas is stepping up its engagement with industry as we get closer to releasing the final set of technical documents to the DTG this month, and launching a consumer product next year.

Bringing on board further consumer equipment manufacturers will ensure people have the widest possible choice of devices and we remain focused on supporting the industry to stimulate a competitive market. We continue to work closely with the DTG to develop common standards for Connected TV”.

Interested parties should express their interest by applying to the Project Canvas programme team by email at contact@projectcanvas.info, by 5.00pm on 25 August, 2010.
