Introduction – Key Players*
Standards – Hybrid TV + Web Standards
§  As content providers are diversifying their target audience…
–  common authoring basis to address those different devices
(Internet,TV, tablets, mobiles)
–  faster authoring time for simple applications or reuse of existing
solutions (e.g. reuse of backend and only frontend adaptations)
–  benefit from the WWW community and capitalize on existing
content of the Web.
–  Browser as common denominator
App platforms
§  TV app platforms are different
–  Samsung has 1000 apps available and ten
million downloads
–  LG, Sharp and Philips to define common
platform (HTML/HbbTV-based)
–  Google TV based on Android and partnering
with Sony
⇒ Expensive for content providers to
deploy one service to all TV platforms
⇒ BUT, common basis is (CE-) HTML
+JavaScript
Standards – Hybrid TV / HbbTV

broadband
–  Broadcast-related application
§  associated with one or more broadcast services or one or more broadcast
events within a service
§  may be launched automatically ("autostart") or explicitly upon user request.

player about the media available
§  Uses HTTP and existing content delivery infrastructure

§  Client selects from video files encoded at different bitrates
–  Adapts to changing network conditions and throughput
–  Maintains continuous playback at the highest quality the network can
currently support
§  Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH)
