CUSTOMISATION & SYSTEM INTEGRATION ENVIRONMENT
Oregan's Oreo SDK allows manufacturers and system developers to easily integrate the vital parts of the client-side content delivery system. DRM and CAS technologies can be easily "plugged in" within the architecture, as required by a specific operator or CE vendor.
The SDK provides the following facilities:
- Adaptation of low level hardware drivers
- Customisation of User Interface logic and branding
- System Integration via JavaScript APIs with customer-specified DVB, PVR, DRM and head-end technology solutions
- Remote upgrade facility
