S&T's TSDeveloper, XFSI XAV and SFG for OCAP/MHP

TSDeveloper provides a multi-user environment for developing and testing OCAP and MHP applications. It plays out an MPEG-2 transport stream containing four services. Each service may have an OCAP/MHP application signalled to it. One fixed bitrate DSM-CC object carousel is allocated for each service. The output of TSDeveloper is QAM modulated R/F, so it can be connected directly to one or multiple OCAP receivers. So no modulator required. Features include:

1. OCAP and MHP application definition, import and export
2. application play-out, four services and four DSM-CC object carousels
3. real time updates to application data, via ftp, HTTP, file or database
4. bandwidth allocation
5. injection of do-it-now stream events
6. QAM output. Frequency, modulation mode and bandwidth can be changed via an administrative procedure.

TSDeveloper servers are accessed by a web browser. DSM-CC object carousels are created in band containing the applications. Both signed and unsigned OCAP and MHP applications are supported by TSDeveloper. For signed (authenticated) applications, the appropriate hash, certificate and signature files are created using the UniSoft Security File Generator (SFG) prior to generation of the object carousel. UniSoft will also be presenting XAV which is an MHP and OCAP application validator for testing compliance with the MHP and OCAP specifications respectively. Output of XAV is a detailed test report which indicates any areas on non-compliance including helpful references to the appropriate sections in these specifications.
