TriplePlayer: Browser Based Media Player

TriplePlayer, Tripleplay's MPEG-2 software based player is only required for PCs or MACs. It has been designed to run as an ActiveX control in a web browser such as IE7 or Mozilla. The player allows access to the TripleTV, TripleVOD and TripleTV+ services and may be displayed in various screen sizes from quarter screen to full screen. Unlike standard based video PC players, the TriplePlayer system has been designed to specifically manage changes in the quality of broadcast feeds and packet loss, making it highly resilient to climate changes and network quality issues.

The player can be controlled via buttons on the web page or by keyboard shortcuts. This flexibility allows complete branding and customisation of the "look and feel" of the video application. The ActiveX object is accessed through a web site hosted in the building, which will only be available to PCs within the local network.
