Opera TV is soon to begin shipping its HbbTV 2.0 SDK to TV makers and STB OEMs, to build the platform into their devices. HbbTV 2.0 is based on HTML 5, which – says Opera – will simplify app development across all platforms. The new SDK includes video steaming, app management and APIs required to create HbbTV 2.0-compliant products. TV makers using the SDK will be able to deploy interactive experiences using HbbTV 2.0 by Q1’16.
