Pace opens App Café

Set-top vendor Pace has launched the App Café, a platform that offers web-based applications via set-top boxes. 

The Pace App Café will offer apps including social networking, gaming and VOD apps, via a storefront that subscribers can download directly to their set-top boxes. The company has worked with web-based TV technology platform, Clearleap, to offer IP-based video services delivered through customisable, white-labelled applications. Pace has also partnered with Universal Electronics to integrate its UEI Velocity remote control with QWERTY keyboard and UEI QuickSearch remote control setup application.

The App Café, which was launched during this week’s The Cable Show in Chicago, is based on Pace’s Engineware software platform and runs on a standards-based Flash Lite Engine and published Software Development Kit.
