Full Description

The present document defines the DVB solution for Multimedia Home Platforms (MHPs) that was developed to fulfil therelated DVB commercial requirements MHP045 [A]. It relies on the use of appropriate DVB specifications for digitalvideo broadcast and associated interactive services ETSI TR 101 200 [47]. The MHP is applicable to all DVB definedtransmission media and networks such as satellite, cable, terrestrial, microwave.

The final DVB MHP solution is intended to cover the whole range of implementations including Integrated ReceiverDecoders (IRDs), integrated TV sets, multimedia computers and local clusters of such devices connected via In-HomeDigital Networks (IHDN). This first release focuses on single MHP terminals and does not include such local clusters.Chapters 1-14 specify the applicable technologies and technical definitions in a generic way. Chapter 15 providesdetailed profile definitions for the initial profiles Enhanced Broadcasting 1 and Interactive Broadcasting 1, which can beextended with future additional profile definitions.

This specification is firstly intended for implementers of MHPs on various hardware and software platforms. Secondly itis intended for developers of applications that use the MHP functionality and APIs.

The MHP specification aims to ensure interoperability between MHP applications and different MHP implementations.Implementers should consult the publisher of this specification regarding conformance.

NOTE: This specification defines the interfaces visible to applications. Application developers should notassume that other related interfaces are available unless they are specifically listed.
