Ocean Blue Software, SLR collaborate
May 5, 2026
A collaboration between Ocean Blue Software (OBS) and the Service List Registry (SLR) will bring together client software and platform infrastructure to build a scalable ecosystem to support the DVB-I service discovery standard.
Ocean Blue Software develops smart television software used by device manufacturers and platform operators to accelerate product development, together with validation services that ensure compatibility with industry standards.
Ocean Blue Software has developed a high-performance DVB-I Client for integration in smart televisions and operator platforms. The same software also supports its online DVB-I Inspector, an analysis, validation, and continuous monitoring tool that ensures service information used by devices conforms to industry specifications.
SLR provides a structured, standards-based directory of television and video services, enabling devices and applications to discover and access services across multiple sources, countries, regions, and delivery networks.
Connecting with the SLR Unified Service Platform, the Ocean Blue Software solution supports reliable service discovery for television operating systems, simplifies integration and deployment, and ensures interoperability across the DVB-I value chain, from media providers to devices and displays. Together they advance the international deployment of the DVB-I service discovery specification at scale through a robust and reliable ecosystem based on open standards.
“Ocean Blue Software has a long track record of delivering smart television software for manufacturers and operators worldwide. We have now developed an efficient DVB-I Client for integration into their products,” said Paul Martin, CEO of Ocean Blue Software. “Working closely with SLR, we can connect these devices with service discovery, so that DVB-I can be deployed effectively across them in multiple markets.”
Dr William Cooper, Chief Executive of Service List Registry, leads the development and governance of the international discovery platform. “DVB-I specifies how services can be described and discovered, but it does not define how discovery operates at scale,” he explained. “Connecting OBS client software with our registry demonstrates how consumer electronics companies and operating system providers can implement service discovery robustly and reliably, offering access to lists of available services from multiple sources.”
The initial focus will be on aligning OBS client software with the SLR platform, supporting consistent service discovery for television manufacturers and operating system providers worldwide.
The OBS DVB-I Client is available for integration and will connect directly with the SLR Unified Service Platform, supporting television manufacturers and operating system providers planning to incorporate DVB-I in their next-generation products.
