CableDEV – the Next Chapter in Cable’s Outreach to Future ITV App and Service Developers

 

Welcome to CableDEV, the new name of the OCAP/EBIF Developer Network (OEDN). We’ve changed our name – but not our focus on coordinating resources to bring the tools and software necessary for students to learn how to build and test ITV applications and services at US universities.

 

What has changed is that CableDEV is no longer tied exclusively to supporting education efforts around Enhanced TV Binary Interchange Format (EBIF) or the Open Cable Application Platform (OCAP – also known by the consumer-facing name “tru2way”).

 


CableDev – a part of Cable’s history of academic/educational outreach

Over the years, the cable industry has reached out to both local communities and the professional communities-of-interest it serves with basic and continuing educational programs tailored to suit a variety of needs.
