UniSoft offers tools suitable for development, authoring and testing of OCAP, ETV and MHP applications. Head end and broadcast tools are also available.

The OCAP development software available from UniSoft includes creation of DSM-CC object carousels, OCAP transport stream encoding and generation of required service information (SI) enabling standalone receivers to tune to the available TV services. For those OCAP applications which require access to restricted resources, as defined in the CableLabs' OpenCable Security Specification, are authenticated using OCAP SFG

TSDeveloper Provides a multi-user environment for developing and testing iTV applications. It creates and plays out an MPEG-2 transport stream containing four in-band services. Each service may have an OCAP, ETV or MHP application signaled to it.

TSDeveloper is packaged on a desktop PC so is particularly suitable for application authoring and development environments. Output is QAM modulated RF so TSDeveloper can be connected directly to a number of set-top-boxes without the need of a modulator.

TSBroadcaster Is a higher-end development environment for OCAP, ETV and MHP applications which is also suitable for live deployment. TSBroadcaster provides complete control over creation of entire transport streams, application signaling, including SI, AITs, XAITs and multiple object carousels. Full out-of-band transmission of XAITs, CVTs and object carousels, including DSG delivery, is provided through TSOOBPlayer.

XAV Application Validator for OCAP, ETV, ACAP, MHP and JSR-242 (OnRamp). XAV provides a detailed analysis of iTV applications detecting interoperability, efficiency, security and validity problems. A detailed report is provided which assists correction of the identified issues. XAV is particularly suitable as an OCAP application conformance testing tool.

SoftOC Generates MPEG transport streams containing DSM-CC object carousels. SoftOC provides control and creation of all aspects of the Transport Stream including SI, object carousels and MHP or OCAP signaling. Typically used for testing receivers. SoftOC is programmed using XML input.

TSPlayer An MPEG play-out system based on either a Sun Microsystems SunFire server or HP DL 360, integrated with an ASI card, the TSMux software multiplexer and TSPlayer server software. TSPlayer provides a convenient host for SoftOC. The ASI card is provided by VideoPropulsion, Inc.Gigabit Ethernet output is also available.

DigiHost

OCAP headend application management system. Administers development and delivery of OCAP apps, and essential for applications which use the return channel to communicate to various transaction gateways, including messaging (SMS, MMS, e-mail), secure payment and database access.
