Java TV is the software framework used for a set-top box, for which the software is written in Java. It currently is deployed only on the Connected Device Configuration, specifically for iTV applications development.

The API includes the Xlet in javax.tv.xlet . Other packages of the public API include

  1. javax.tv.graphics - provides a simple rendering canvas
  2. javax.tv.locator - provide a locator in the style of a URL for services and media, such as service:/SERV1
  3. javax.tv.service - define a mechanism for service information (SI) database and APIs representing the SI elements; which amounts to TV channel and media available for playback.

The framework is quite general and for some subjects, such as locators, superseded by other locator standards on platforms such as BD-J.
