Metrological says its RDK App Emulator, developed in cooperation with RDK Management, has tested and certified more than 250 applications as ready for deployment on RDK-based devices in the first six weeks of availability. Since its launch in April 2015, content developers around the world have downloaded the RDK App Emulator SDK to create and test apps to run on top of the RDK.
Metrological combined its application framework with the RDK to create the emulator. The app developer environment uses the RDK and RDK Emulator to enable developers to prototype, develop and test RDK applications remotely on a laptop without using a physical RDK device or set-top box.
