What does Ocean Blue Software do?

With over 20 years of industry experience, Ocean Blue Software is the trusted partner for Smart TV deployment. We help companies launch TV products by embedding deep TV platform expertise directly into the teams responsible for bringing products to market.

We provide the joined-up practical expertise needed to take a product to successful European and global deployment.

What sets you apart from the competition?

Our credibility comes from operating across the TV ecosystem, not just one part of it. We create technologies used throughout the industry, including DTVKit and ORB (Open Red Button); contribute to standards and test development; and support teams through the certification and deployment work required to launch products in European and global markets.
