HbbTV

HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV) is a new industry standard providing an open and business neutral technology platform that seamlessly combines TV services delivered via broadcast with services delivered via broadband and also enables access to Internet only services for consumers using connected TVs and set-top boxes. The founding members of the HbbTV consortium together with a large group of supporters jointly developed the HbbTV specification to create a global standard for hybrid entertainment services. Version 1.1.1 of this specification has been approved by ETSI as ETSI TS 102 796 in June 2010.

The HbbTV specification is based on existing standards and web technologies including OIPF (Open IPTV Forum), CEA, DVB and W3C. The standard provides the features and functionality required to deliver feature rich broadcast and internet services. Utilizing standard Internet technology it enables rapid application development. It defines minimum requirements simplifying the implementation in devices and leaving room for differentiation, this limits the investment required by CE manufacturers to build compliant devices.

OIPF

The Open IPTV Forum e.V. was created in March 2007, to provide an IPTV solution enabling a "plug and play" experience for the end-users and filling a industry gap making it independent from the technology behind it.

The "easy to use" experience usually requires quite a lot of advanced techniques behind the scenes so to say, to be able to provide that "plug and play" experience for the end-user and the end to end IPTV solution is not an exception.

This implies that the different players in the IPTV value chain needed to have a "tool" to easily develop their own products to fit into the "plug and play" solution. The "tool" is the open standards that are created in this Open IPTV Forum.

The Open IPTV Forum e.V. is a pan-industry initiative with the purpose of producing end to end specifications for IPTV that will take the next generation of IPTV to the mass market. The forum is fully open to participation across the communications and entertainment industries.

Next Generation TV

Next Generation Television (also commonly referred to as New TV, Gen Z TV) is the big-media and traditional media players' proposed solution to new media, such as the rapid growth of user-generated content and the social media phenomenon. As such, it has the significant financial, technical and legislative backing of private corporate interests and dominant players in the media landscape. Proponents insist that quality of content (particularly in technical specifications such as HD picture and Dolby surround-sound) is more important to consumers than convenience or relevance of content.

Hulu
