SeaChange International unveiled its TV Platform Developer Program, which the company calls “an IPTV catalyst,” at IBC2007.

The company said leading providers of applications and infrastructure solutions are embracing the program and its open standards-based TV Navigator middleware.

Five of the TV Platform Development partners announced at IBC are Freethinking, Integra5, Snap TV, TwoWay TV, and Verimatrix. The program is designed to deliver value-added applications that leverage the modularity of SeaChange’s TV Navigator middleware.

The IPTV solution includes IMS-compliant modular client/set-top software (TV Navigator) and network and back office software that allows operators to easily brand, launch and bill video content and services from SeaChange or third-party developers.
