CableLabs has released software tools intended to ease creation of advanced interactive programs for cable networks.

The R&D lab has completed its beta development phase of the tru2way Reference Implementation and has made it publicly available through java.net, Sun Microsystems’ open source project site.

The tru2way Reference Implementation is a source code implementation of CableLabs’ OpenCable Application Platform (OCAP) middleware specification and is designed to provide device manufacturers and application developers a consistent interpretation of the specification. The Reference Implementation includes the OCAP DVR extension, and future versions will track with other OCAP extensions such as home networking.
