DVB-HB (Home Broadcast)
Service discovery and delivery protocols for a DVB Home Broadcast system
Introduction
DVB-HB intends to enable consumption of traditional broadcast services (i.e., delivered via satellite, terrestrial or cable broadcast networks) by means of in-home networked devices, e.g., smartphones, tablets, Personal Computers, IP-enabled TV sets or Set-Top-Boxes, etc.
Scope
The present document defines the interfaces through which a DVB-HB Local Server can redistribute broadcast signals and associated metadata to DVB-HB Clients and specifies mechanisms allowing a DVB-HB Local Server to announce its presence on the LAN and its capabilities, and a DVB-HB Client to discover it. It includes backwards-compatible extensions to the SAT>IP and DVB-I specifications.
