DVB Middleware

DCC Labs Middleware for Cable, Satellite, Terrestrial and IPTV

The DCC Labs Middleware is a portable lightweight software framework which enables deploying native User Interface Applications built for DVB and IPTV devices.

The middleware provides a portable DVB-compliant processing layer which enables running the same user interface applications (GUI) on multiple hardware platforms. 

A standard set of typical zapper applications is provided such as an Electronic Program Guide, Video On Demand and more.  Modifications can be applied to the zapper applications by means of the Software Development Kit (SDK).
