OCAP: Support for OCAP-Based Applications Increases Options for You
and Your Subscribers
Overview
In SR 4.0, the DNCS supports the OpenCable Applications Platform (OCAP™)
middleware standard. As a cable service provider, your selection of portable and
interoperable software is more extensive. Software suppliers are competing to
develop the interactive television services and applications you and your subscribers
demand. SR 4.0 adheres to OCAP standards to promote this new plug and play
business model.
