The Service List Registry Unified Service Platform can be implemented and deployed easily and quickly.
An application programming interface is available for developers of devices, displays, agents, and applications. This can be implemented in any software environment that supports web requests and responses.
Developers are free to innovate and differentiate the presentation and user experience based on the metadata provided by the platform.
For media providers with existing audiovisual media services, the metadata can be configured in a matter of hours, rather than days, weeks or months.
Resources required typically include:
Media — DVB network and service identifiers of broadcast channels or references to the DVB-DASH or HLS manifests of online streams.
Applications — URL references to associated online interactive services such as HbbTV applications and HTML web apps.
Images — PNG images for logos to identify services or applications, and images to represent programmes.
Listings — Programme information available in a suitably structured format for use in service schedules and programme catalogues.
