SeaChange International unveiled its TV Platform Developer Program at IBC 2007 and named five of the program’s partners: Freethinking, Integra5, Snap TV, TwoWay TV and Verimatrix. 

The IPTV solution is designed to deliver value-added applications with SeaChange’s open, standards-based TV Navigator client middleware - designed for telco, satellite, cable, terrestrial and hybrid networks - that allows operators to assemble on-demand, convergence and next-gen subscriber services in advanced STB environments.

"TV Platform was created to ensure robust and highly competitive IPTV services, making the most of operators' networks and complementing other quad-play services," said Venkat Krishnan, director of IPTV solutions for SeaChange.

The solution also includes network and back office software that allows operators to brand, launch and bill video content and services from SeaChange and third-party developers. Program partners receive access to product support, resources and tools to assist them with porting and developing products and services for TV Platform.
