OCAP Enables Next Generation Interactive Services and Applications

Tags:
cable

Overview Service providers, content providers, and application developers all seek a new way of offering interactive services over cable infrastructure. CableLabs, a non-profit research and development consortium, has led the creation of the OpenCable Application Platform (OCAP) specification - a middleware software layer specification that allows service providers to launch exciting digital services and applications on all sorts of digital devices. The goal of OCAP is to allow the developers of interactive television services and applications to design their products so that they will run on any cable television system in North America, independent of set-top or television receiver hardware or operating system software choices. This whitepaper provides an overview of OCAP and discusses Motorola's commitment to delivering end-to end OCAP solutions.
