The Fast Track to Interactive TV

Spruce Canyon Software, Inc. has a long history of innovation development in the realm of Interactive Television.

ETV/EBIF

We have been closely involved with development of ETV-related products ever since version I02 of the specifications, continuing through version I06. Our staff includes experts in all aspects of EBIF and ETV signaling, including the many subtleties of implementation of ETV applications and ETV user agents.

Need EBIF Applications?

We know the ins and outs of EBIF application development. We guarantee faster delivery of custom EBIF apps, designed to be solid but flexible, and built to be interoperable.

We offer fixed-bid development for qualified ETV/EBIF applications.

Interactive TV in an IP World

With video services moving ever more rapidly toward IP-based delivery, we can help you stay at the leading edge of bringing interactive experiences to viewers simultaneously on traditional Cable TV set-top boxes and on browser-based platforms.

ETV Translation to HTML/CSS/JavaScript

We have analyzed the feasibility of translating EBIF applications and ETV signaling into an HTML-compatible format at run-time, including effective mapping of ETV elements into the HTML/Cascading-Stylesheet/JavaScript domain.

HTML as a Source Language for EBIF

It's time to move EBIF into the future.

Almost since the inception of ETV/EBIF, there has been a need for a standardized source language. Spruce Canyon Software, Inc. is a proponent of specifying a well-defined subset of HTML/CSS/JavaScript and a set of core libraries as the source language for EBIF. We've performed detailed analysis to show the feasibility of writing HTML/CSS/JavaScript applications that will execute in an appropriately enabled web browser environment and that can be simultaneously compiled into EBIF for playout in user agents running on Cable TV set-top boxes.
