HbbTV

By partnering with OBS, DTVKit can now offer a version of the innovative ORB HbbTV 2.0.3 solution fully integrated to DTVKit DVBCore and DSMCC with versions for both RDK and Android

 

The ORB HbbTV innovative architecture uses the existing system browser (WPE or Android Webview) removing the need for an additional browser to support HbbTV. This reduces system complexity, software footprint and subsequent resource requirements.

Javascript and Reusable C++ Components for Seamless Development

The ORB HbbTV solution is primarily executed in Javascript, providing a flexible and intuitive development environment. To further enhance performance and reliability, it has incorporated reusable C++ components into the solution. This powerful combination allows members to leverage their existing expertise in these widely used programming languages, simplifying the development process and reducing the learning curve. 

Faster Time to Market and Lower Development Costs

We know that time is of the essence when it comes to launching HbbTV-enabled services. By adopting the ORB HbbTV solution supplied ready integrated with DVBCore and DSMCC, you can significantly reduce your time to market. Our comprehensive framework and pre-built components minimise the need for extensive research and development efforts, accelerating the deployment process and lowering development costs.
