1 The digital home Stephen Whalley Manager, Technology Enabling Intel Corporation

2 Agenda The move to digital Vision for the digital home From Vision to Reality Vision Challenges The road to interoperable products A glimpse of a few upcoming products Summary/Opportunities

3 Mega Trend Devices and Content are going Digital

4 Vision for the digital home BROADBANDEntertainment, E-Business, Services MEDIA Pre-Recorded Content Personal Media Personal Media BROADCASTServices,Entertainment Any Content 1, Any Place, Any Device, Any Time 1 As Authorized

5 Vision to Reality What’s needed? Technology Ingredients Devices Home network Personal Content Premium Content & Services Platforms Consumers want easy access to their content anywhere, anytime on PCs, TVs, Stereos,…etc. Compelling Content

6 Challenges to achieve the vision Consumer Challenge  Digital products must be easy to install and manage, provide obvious user value, and be affordable Products must interoperate with each other and with existing devices like TVs and stereos Developer Challenge   Proprietary solutions meet time-to-market objectives but have little impact on category growth Industry standards provide open specifications but do not always guarantee interoperability

7 Interoperability is the Foundation Devices, broadband, networking & services growth expands when consumers can buy complete solutions that just work Product Implementation Defines product require- ments to achieve inter- operability Baseline Interoperability Defines behavior of standards between products to achieve interoperability Standards Defines behavior for individual technologies independent of product

8 Progress on Interoperability Product Implementation Intel Networked Media Products Requirements (NMPR) helps define product interoperability amongst Intel-based platforms Baseline Interoperability Digital Home Working Group (DHWG) launched June 24, 2003 17 promoter companies from PC, CE, Comm’s industries Creating baseline guide- lines for interoperability Standards Increasing focus on networked AV with… UPnP* AV, IEEE* 802.11e & WME**, MPEG* ** Wireless Multimedia Extensions

9 Intel Networked Media Products Requirement Scope: A document that specifies requirements for personal media usages between networked media platforms Focus is on network interoperability: discover and play content across network 100+ pages total; references over 40+ standards and clarifies/limits as needed Conformance and interoperability tools suite in place now Requirement for Intel’s Platform Vision Guide and RML inclusion Keynote and demo opportunities for conforming products Driving products to deliver the best consumer experience

10 A few upcoming products…
