The Multimedia Home Platform (MHP) software framework is designed to bring interactive multimedia applications to set top boxes, integrated digital televisions, and multimedia PCs. The framework further specifies the delivery of these applications over broadcast channels such as cable, satellite, or terrestrial television signals. Abstracting these features into one library allows independent implementation of both the engine underneath the API (the MHP Stack) and the applications that utilize it. As 3rd party MHP stacks have become commercially available, developers are now able create robust visual applications without having to implement platform-specific multimedia code.
