Zodiac Interactive has announced its participation at The Cable Show ’08. In CableNET 2008, which is co-sponsored by CableLabs and the NCTA, Zodiac will display its tru2way framework, PowerUp for tru2way, which is designed to enable TV widgets (called Zidgets), such as local restaurant search, click-to-call, multi-player games, photosharing, weather, traffic, sports scores, and local news, etc. – without disrupting the TV viewing experience.

Additionally, Zodiac will demonstrate its PowerRamp (On Ramp to OCAP) platform and middleware solution. A Java-based JSR242 compliant platform, PowerRamp is a migration path to tru2way technology, giving operators with millions of deployed legacy set-tops a path to tru2way-like features.
