The software architecture for the INFOTEXT and TV-JETZT portals was optimized and merged on the basis of insight gained in the initial tests in Graz. These improvements, which were essential to the performance of ORF OK products, were carried out by the ORF ITV team together with developers at BearingPoint. Due to the large amount of Olympics-related content which had be presented in a clear and understandable format, the ORF OK navigation bar was expanded to include a fourth category. The Olympics portal was filled with approximately 500 pages of text exclusively on the Olympics and updated several times a day using the ORF OK Content Management System. In addition, this service included approximately 260 photos, including a slide show with the best moments in the games. Although development and testing for this ORF OK product coincided with the !TV4GRAZ pilot project, the digital terrestrial test households in Graz were not able to receive this portal. The portal was deliberately filled with more content and data than DVB-T can support. Accordingly, the objective of this specific product development was to test ORF‘s digital playout as well as the CMS developed especially for the ITV4GRAZ project under data rate requirements which could be considered intensive even in a satellite-based transmission environment.
