The OpenCable Application Platform (or OCAP, pronounced oh-cap) is a way for cable networks, cable company applications developers and other content providers to create and deploy a wave of interactive services that will open up new revenue streams and other business opportunities.

Zodiac Interactive will demo software at The Cable Show ’07 that enables rich, ad-supported interactive TV applications that can run on legacy set-top boxes while still supporting the OpenCable Application Platform (OCAP) standard due next year.

OCAP-based iTV middleware will require considerably more processing power and memory than offered by some 70 million digital set-top boxes (STBs) currently deployed by U.S. cable operators.
