Ocean Blue Software and SLR pair client software with DVB-I registry
Ocean Blue Software (OBS) and the Service List Registry (SLR) are collaborating to build a scalable ecosystem for the DVB-I service discovery standard. OBS's DVB-I Client software will connect with SLR's Unified Service Platform to provide reliable service discovery for smart televisions and operator platforms. This partnership aims to advance the international deployment of DVB-I.
Key Takeaways
- OBS has developed a high-performance DVB-I Client for smart televisions and operator platforms.
- The same OBS software supports its DVB-I Inspector, which handles analysis, validation, and continuous monitoring of service information.
- SLR provides a standards-based directory of television and video services across multiple sources, countries, regions, and delivery networks.
- The OBS solution will connect with SLR’s Unified Service Platform to support reliable service discovery and simpler integration.
- The initial focus is aligning OBS client software with the SLR platform for television manufacturers and operating system providers worldwide.
Why It Matters
This gives DVB-I a more concrete implementation path: OBS is supplying client software, while SLR is supplying registry infrastructure. The pairing is aimed at making service discovery work across manufacturers, operating system providers, media services, and devices, which is the part DVB-I still needs to function at scale. The article also makes clear that OBS’s client is already available for integration, which matters for vendors planning product roadmaps. What to watch next is whether the companies move from alignment to live deployments in specific TV platforms or manufacturer integrations.
