- Universal Home API
Universal Home API, or UHAPI, is an
application programming interface (API) for consumer electronics appliances, created by theUHAPI Forum . The objective of UHAPI is to enable standardmiddleware to run on audio/video streaming platforms via a hardware-independent industry standard API. UHAPI is complementary to most operating systems just asVxWorks ,pSOS ,eCos andLinux . UHAPI is currently being proposed as Audio/Video Streaming API in the CE Linux Forum (CELF ) [http://www.celinuxforum.org] .The UHAPI Forum was established in November 2004 by
Samsung ,Hewlett-Packard ,Philips , Access Co. Ltd. and the Digital TV Industry Alliance of China (DTVIA ). It released the UHAPI 1.0 spec in January 2005, targeting Analogue TV, Digital TV and Set Top Box applications. In January 2006, the UHAPI 1.1 specification was released, which added - among others - PVR functionality. Currently, work is in progress to define APIs to support Digital Media Adaptors.ee also
