Platforms
At the time of writing, the following platforms are defined, which base on/extend GEM:
- the Multimedia Home Platform (MHP), the open, multi-platform middleware specification developed by the DVB project,
- the OpenCable Application Platform (OCAP / tru2way), which is an Interactive television (iTV) middleware software layer for US cable,
- the Advanced Common Application Platform (ACAP) from North America’s ATSC,
- GEM-IPTV, a version of GEM developed by DVB intended for telco-based networks,
- the ARIB B.23 specification from Japan's ARIB,
- the PAE specification in the Open IPTV Forum,
- BD-J the Java-platform for the Blu-ray disc
As all these platforms are based on the common GEM-core, making it possible to write Java applications that will run interoperably on all these systems.
