Microsoft Mediaroom is the latest update of the Microsoft TV IPTV Edition platform software, intended for use in a set-top box to access on-demand as well as live television programming on a Microsoft IPTV network. It was announced on June 18, 2007 at the NXTcomm conference.[1] As of June 2010, Microsoft Mediaroom has been adopted by 26 providers as their IPTV delivery platform. The software is slated to be ported to the Xbox 360 platform in select markets.

Overview

Microsoft Mediaroom includes all the features of Microsoft TV IPTV Edition, including support for on-demand and live video, video recording and time shifting, and interactive program guide with integrated search and scheduled recording, as well as to restart a show from the start even when it was tuned in to after it had started. It includes the ability to record two HD streams while watching two SD streams simultaneously. In addition, it adds several other features including media sharing and Multiview. Personal Media Sharing allows media content to be streamed from an Windows Media Connect enabled system to the Mediaroom set top box. Multiview is an implementation of picture-in-picture that allows multiple channels or multiple camera angles of the same program to be seen on the screen simultaneously. Microsoft aims to supplement Digital Terrestrial Television with this platform.[2] It also integrates with Xbox 360 console.

Microsoft Mediaroom also includes Microsoft Mediaroom Application Development toolkit which can be used to author applications that run on the Microsoft Mediaroom platform. The Mediaroom Personal Server can be used by developers to simulate the Mediroom environment for testing purposes.[3] It is currently available only to Mediaroom content-providers.
