OpenTV Corp. (NASDAQ:OPTV),
the leading software and technology provider of advanced digital
television solutions, announced today the launch of a beta testing
program for its new Software Development Kit, the OpenTV SDK Development
Suite C2.2. The program will allow developers to have early access to
OpenTV’s new SDK starting this month and create applications for
interactive television using all the latest functionality of an
OpenTV-enabled set-top box. The new SDK will be released to the public
at no cost in March 2010.
“This launch is an important milestone for OpenTV as we seek to provide
the highest quality products for our customers and expand our
partnerships with the developer community,” said Tracy Geist, SVP
Business Development, OpenTV. “It’s also an opportunity for developers
to get involved and propose enhancements to the product. By leveraging
their expertise and incorporating their feedback, we seek to facilitate
and improve the creation and delivery of compelling next generation
applications for operators and viewers worldwide.”
OpenTV’s new SDK is a fully integrated development suite that allows
developers to write, compile, build, test and debug – in real time --
interactive applications using the latest release of OpenTV Core2™
middleware. It features OpenTV’s Integrated Development Environment
(IDE), Virtual Set-Top Box (VSTB), SDK Application Programming Interface
(API) and SDK Tools to generate and optimize interactive applications.
Parties interested in participating in the Beta Tester Program are
