Satellite DTH

DCC Labs Middleware is a proven solution for Broadcast DTH receivers.

DCC Labs provides software for DTH (Direct to Home) SD and HD zappers and integrated high-end PVR receivers. Our middleware solutions have been rigorously tested and successfully deployed in Europe.

  

The DCC middleware can be deployed on a wide range of hardware platforms. The firmware supports OTA upgrade and is fully compliant with the DVB-S and DVB-S2 specifications. For more information regarding the actual hardware platforms currently supported please see the Supported Hardware list or visit the DVB Middleware product page.

User interface Application functionality can be modified and extended using the Software Development Kit. Application design can be scripted and themed using XML configuration files - design modification (UI skins) can be applied without rebuilding the applications.

Over 500,000 licenses of the DCC Labs Middleware have already been deployed in Europe.
