OpenTV Corp. (NASDAQ:OPTV), a leading software and technology provider
of advanced digital television solutions, today announced that it is
licensing its suite of application development tools to the developer
community at no charge. The OpenTV SDK Development Suite is an
integrated interactive application development environment for OpenTV
middleware that allows developers to create applications for interactive
television using the complete functionality of an OpenTV-enabled set-top
box.
OpenTV is providing an opportunity for all developers to write
compelling interactive applications on its platform. For the first time,
developers have access at no cost to OpenTV’s comprehensive library of
development tools including Integrated Development Environment (IDE),
Virtual Set-Top Box (VSTB), SDK Application Programming Interface (API)
and SDK Tools. The SDK tools will include a bundled development solution
to code, compile, step-by-step debug, generate and optimize interactive
applications, all with free access to documentation and testing on a
virtual set top box.
“OpenTV believes it is important to open up to the community of
developers and enable more companies to write and pitch truly compelling
interactive applications. Our SDK suite will also allow manufacturers to
write and test applications more easily than ever,” said Mike
Ivanchenko, SVP Sales for OpenTV. “This will strengthen the OpenTV
ecosystem by enabling developers to create and offer compelling
applications with our suite of tools.”
