Importance of Global Standards for Interactive Application for IPTV • Fragmented application platforms make things technically and economically difficult – higher costs, reduced efficiency • Standard Platforms reduce technical barriers, increase efficiency and promote interoperability • Lower costs and increase availability • More tools, more creators, more resources • Create Wider Market – wider deployment, continued service, assured business cases • Drive competitiveness and innovation, for individuals and corporations

  3. Multimedia Application Framework H.76x (MAFR) Series • ITU-T is recommending a series of standard technologies (MAFR) to be used for IPTV Interaction • As a suite, they can provide rich and innovative multimedia interaction • MAFR series is expected to become the “Common Suite” for IPTV Interactive Applications Recommendations comprising ITU-T MAFR series

H.761 (Ginga-NCL) • ITU-T H.761 (Ginga-NCL for IPTV) is an adaptation of Ginga-NCL, • Also the middleware standard for Brazilian digital TV broadcasting • adopted in most of Latin America - Argentina, Peru, Chile, Venezuela, etc. ) • Based on XML • Scripting by Lua (script language) • Harmonized with W3C SMIL • Glue language for other multimedia frameworks, and can include LIME, HTML, SVG as a component • Harmonization with LIME on-going

  5. H.762 (LIME) • ITU-T H.762 – LIME (Lightweight Interactive Multimedia Environment) • Not a new “language” but a simple profile of HTML-related technologies for creating Interactive IPTV content • Based on simple HTML and JavaScript (ECMAScript) • Creating IPTV interactive content is just like very Simple Web designing • Like Ginga-NCL, • suitable for any type of terminals, esp. poor ones like TV sets • Mobile as well as Fixed • Integration of Web technologies and Multimedia • Harmonization with Ginga-NCL on-going

  6. IPTV Application Challenge (1) • World’s first IPTV Application Challenge based on standards • Call for innovative, creative and value-added applications, based on two ITU-T IPTV standards-- Ginga-NCL (H.761) and LIME (H.762) in July 2011. • Help and support from EBU (European Broadcasting Union) on evaluation and procedure

  7. IPTV Application Challenge (2) • 18 submissions in two categories - Corporate and SME (Small/Medium Enterprise including individuals) • Very difficult evaluation, due to good quality of the submissions – One best application award (in Corporate) and two awards (in SME) chosen • Award ceremony at Telecom 2011 • Comprising the core for the content creation community based on ITU IPTV standard • More challenges are expected in a near future – topics such as accessibility, eHealth, etc.
