The OpenCable Application Platform, or OCAP, is an operating system layer designed for consumer electronics that connect to a cable television system, the Java-based middleware portion of the platform. Unlike operating systems on a personal computer, the cable company controls what OCAP programs run on the consumer's machine. Designed by CableLabs for the cable networks of North America, OCAP programs are intended for interactive services such as eCommerce, online banking, Electronic program guides, and digital video recording. Cable companies have required OCAP as part of the Cablecard 2.0 specification, a proposal that is controversial and has not been approved by the Federal Communications Commission.

| - Open Cable Application Platform (OCAP) ist eine Software für Unterhaltungselektronik, die in Europa, Asien und Australien etabliert ist. Die Alternativ Multimedia Home Platform (MHP) wird in Nordamerika als Software-Standard für interaktives Fernsehen propagiert. Die Vermarktung erfolgt inzwischen unter der Marke tru2way. Wie MHP gründet auch OCAP auf Java, beide Standards basieren daher auf dem vom DVB-Projekt definierten Globally-Executable-MHP-Standard (GEM). OCAP wurde von den amerikanischen Cable Labs in Zusammenarbeit mit dem DVB-Projekt definiert. Die Unterschiede zur MHP sind eher gering, die meisten (beziehungsweise GEM-kompatible) Applikationen können daher unverändert auf beiden Systemen laufen.Gegenüber der MHP-Plattform besitzt OCAP allerdings eine wichtige Erweiterung, die sogenannte Monitor-Applikation. Diese ersetzt den herstellerabhängigen Navigator der MHP durch eine (in der Regel vom Kabelnetzprovider bereitgestellte) OCAP-basierte Applikation mit erweiterten Rechten. Diese übernimmt entsprechend die Aufgaben des Navigators der MHP, das „Look&Feel“ kann aber vom Kabelnetzprovider bereitgestellt werden. Gegenwärtig existieren zwei Versionen des OCAP-Standards:
* OCAP v1.0 – korrespondiert zu MHP v1.0 (aktuelle Fassung: v1.0.3)
* OCAP v2.0 – korrespondiert zu MHP v1.1 (aktuelle Fassung: v1.1.2) (Stand April 2005) (de)

Cable companies have required OCAP as part of the Cablecard 2.0 specification, a proposal that is controversial and has not been approved by the Federal Communications Commission. Cable companies have stated that two-way communications by third party devices on their networks will require them to support OCAP. The Consumer Electronics Association and other groups argue OCAP is intended to block features that compete with cable company provided services and that consumers should be entitled to add, delete and otherwise control programs as on their personal computers.On January 8, 2008 CableLabs announced the Tru2Way brand for the OpenCable platform, including OCAP as the application platform.
