Title:

How storage at home will change how we watch television

Event: European Signal Processing Conference, Tampere, Finland
Published:
Abstract: The availability of cheap mass storage will in the future make it possible to watch television programs at the moment we want it. To achieve this the storage of the required programs should be automated. Also we should find a way to make the retrieval of desired programs or scenes easier. Moreover it will also be possible to watch programs in a non-linear fashion as well as faster than real time. To make the system work the total content provision chain should be adapted to provide a typology of the broadcasted programs.

Title: A Scheme for TV Anytime: Segmentation Metadata
Event: TV Anytime Seoul
Published: AN195
Abstract: This specification defines the representation formats for segmentation metadata within a TV-Anytime system. We use the term ‘metadata’ to mean data about content, which enables the consumer to find and navigate within a linear piece of content in a non-linear way.
The set of metadata described in this document was selected to satisfy the usage scenarios listed in the TV-Anytime business models requirements document R-1.
The document will not describe the means in which the metadata should by transported and encoded as this is out of scope for TV-Anytime. However we shall define requirements needed, to make use of segmentation metadata within a TV-Anytime system.

Title: A system's view on metadata
Event: TV Anytime Washington
Published: AN215
Abstract: This document describes how the TVA Systems Specification should support metadata in the content delivery chain.
The current draft TVA metadata specification describes a metadata datamodel and corresponding schema. What it lacks, and in our opinion rightly so, is how these schema are to be used. What should be defined in the system specification is how these schema are to be used in end-to-end systems.
Moreover, although the TV-Anytime Forum is transport agnostic, it is important that the Forum covers a ‘representation format’ of the metadata from a metadata service provider to the terminal device. This would include mechanisms to find metadata (we think we need the equivalent of a Resolving Authority Record as defined in the content referencing specification), the structure of the metadata (what metadata is carried in which files), mechanisms to update and/or replace metadata in a meaningful way.

Title: Proposal for MPEG-2 carriage of content referencing information
Event: TV Anytime Geneva
Published: AN250
Abstract: The proposal that was submitted was an amendment to MPEG-2 systems to allow for carriage of TV-Anytime data, such as content identifiers, location resolution information and metadata. During the discussion of that proposal the part on location resolution information was dropped because there was no explicit requirement within MPEG. We think that this information is needed and we ask the TV Anytime Forum to request MPEG to allow location resolutions tables to be carried. This document provides a possible format for this location resolution information and is designed to be a starting point for TV Anytime to make a proposal to MPEG-2. This document should be discussed in the content referencing and systems workings groups so that these groups can prepare a proposal for MPEG-2.

Abstract: This paper is written in response to the call for contributions in TV 081. TV 081, Section 4 "Systems aspects and advanced metadata features – Extensibility" discusses the issues of how to extend TV Anytime metadata in the future. AN 237 was presented to the last TV Anytime meeting, and gives much of the background to this contribution.

Title: Some considerations on grouping
Event: TV Anytime Seattle
Published: AN 278
Abstract: As recognized at the 11th TV-Anytime Forum meeting in Geneva, the TV-Anytime specifications SP003 v1.0a (TV077) and SP004 v1.1(TV079) do not describe ‘grouping’ in a clear and unambigious way. This document provides a set of comments and suggestions for improvement on the issue. This documents builds on previous input documents from the myTV project (esp. AN196, AN223, and AN234). The underlying assumption is that an accurate description of programme groups should enable a PDR and the consumer of content to make appropriate choices when searching, selecting, locating, and acquiring content for viewing.

Title: Searching and filtering of metadata - Response to CfC TV 081
Event: TV Anytime Seattle
Published: AN285
Abstract: This document addresses two of the specific requirements raised in section 4 of CfC TV081: Searching and Filtering; and Multiple metadata providers environment.

Title: myTV: a practical implementation of TV-Anytime on DVB and the Internet
Event: IBC 2001
Published: IBC paper
Abstract: The technical goal of the myTV project is to marry TV-Anytime standards, local hard disk storage, DVB transmissions, DVB-MHP set-top boxes and the internet. This paper gives a view of the myTV implementation of the ideas and specifications of the TV-Anytime Forum. The paper includes descriptions of technical solutions for carriage of TV-Anytime data over DVB and the internet, the two separate myTV box implementations, the data services required to enable selection and acquisition of content and the system issues in implementing these standards.  The applications written to utilise these services and demonstrate interoperability are then briefly described.
