BBC Hull
Interactive Televison is the BBC's pioneering broadband to tv trial on
the Kingston Interactive Television (KIT) platform in Hull.
The project
is just one part of a much larger £25m investment initiative the
BBC is making in Hull, East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire - The BBC
Connecting Locally - also known as Project Hull.
The project
has won an award for Interactive TV Services from the EMMA
Foundation and was nominated for the Technical Innovation award
from BAFTA.
Cutting
edge technology
It is one of the UK's most advanced television trials and makes use of
Hull's Kingston Communication's interactive cutting edge broadband television
technology.
The BBC uses
the platform to deliver a unique combination of traditional broadcast
television, video on demand, local and national information services and
next generation enhanced programming.
True video
on demand, fast forward, rewind and slow motion television at the touch
of a button - to provide the BBC’s most advanced interactive trial service
yet.
BBCi Hull
has built an infrastructure around open standards - using HTML and MySQl
and PHP which would allow the rapid deployment of the service around the
United Kingdom.
These are
some of our achievements which we've experimented with so far:
· BBCi Hull
has been nominated for an interactive entertainment BAFTA for technical
innovation
· First use
of ADSL broadband television by a major broadcaster
· 24/7 Local
service
· Programme
bookmarking
· On demand
multi-stream application
· DVD style
extras
· UK’s first

The local
aspects of BBC Hull are complimented with a comprehensive and strong national
package provided directly from BBC News, BBC Drama and Entertainment and
BBC Learning.
