PhotoBridge Software Development Kit
PhotoBridge HD is based on the Roku OS, an open platform that includes Roku's advanced media APIs and the Linux Kernel. Using the Roku OS, developers can quickly craft innovative and custom applications for the Roku PhotoBridge HD that take advantage of our TV-centric user interface elements, network and memory card access, MP3, MPEG, windowing system, graphics library, and other media engines.
The SDK is now available for download. Instructions for installing and using the SDK as well as an API reference are included in the zip file.

Pronto CFF
For those users with a Philips Pronto remote control, we have created a CCF file for controlling PhotoBridge HD. In addition to the commands available on the PhotoBridge HD remote control, this CCF file contains codes for discrete power-on and discrete power-off.

Roku External Control Protocol for PhotoBridge HD
In addition, custom installers can control the PhotoBridge HD without the SDK by using simple ASCII control commands. The PhotoBridge HD is completely controllable from the serial port, Ethernet port, or from scripts running on the device. This document explains how custom installers, developers, and technical users can use the Roku ECP features to accomplish this. Now updated with additional commands for 1.5!
