IPTV in ETSI
Bruno Chatras,
ETSI TC TISPAN Vice-Chairman

2. Introduction (1)
The goal of TC TISPAN for IPTV is to provide solutions for fixed lines operators, and for mobility of the user and switch to different access technologies.
ETSI via a specific agreement signed with DVB Project publishes DVB deliverables following approval by JTC Broadcast
The goal of the DVB IPTV deliverables is to specify technologies on the interface between a managed IP network and retail receivers, enabling the end user to buy a DVB-IPTV receiver in any shop, take it home, connect it to a broadband network, choose and consume DVB services available over the IP network. DVB’s interactive middleware specifications, DVB-MHP and GEM, also include IPTV profiles.

3. Introduction (2)
TC-Media Content Distribution (MCD) is the ETSI technical body in charge of guiding and coordinating standardization work aiming the successful overall development of multimedia systems (television and communication) responding to the present and future market requests on media content distribution.
    
TC MCD is addressing the domain of interoperability of content distribution and the related services in a converged environment supporting IPTV, Mobile TV and broadcast TV.

4. Current activities – TC TISPAN
Content Distribution Network (CDN) architecture and protocol specification
CDN interconnection architecture
IPTV Release 3 set complete (architecture, protocols, security, interoperability tests)

5. Recent and current activities – JTC Broadcast
Publication of a new version of Globally Executable MHP (GEM) for hybrid (TS )
Adding Over The Top (OTT) and Hybrid Broadband Broadcast targets to existing specification
Publication of Part 5 of DVB IPTV Guidelines (TS )
Part 5 deals with Content Download Service (CDS)
Current work on the update of clause on Service Discovery in DVB IPTV specification (TS )
This clause will include updates on Service Discovery & Selection (SD&S) for IPTV

6. Recent and current activities TC MCD
Published Technical Reports on
Programme Guide Information distribution
Subtitles distribution
3D gaming graphics delivery
Audience measurement
3D gaming graphics delivery protocol specification (TS ) based on conclusion of TR
Analysis for CA/DRM interoperable solutions (TR )
Content Delivery Network (CDN)
CDN Infrastructure (TR )
CDN Interconnection, use cases and requirements (TS )

7. Strategic directions – TISPAN
Analyse the relation between CDN and information centric networks
Improve Resilience, Scalability and Flexibility of IPTV solutions

8. Strategic direction – MCD
Complement other ETSI activities in the field also from the Content Providers prospective
TC MCD is in contact with other relevant bodies within and outside ETSI, and try to foster a modular and harmonized standardization environment aiming to coordinate efforts and prevent duplication of activities.   

9. Challenges
The changing business model from traditional broadcast to internet/IPTV based distribution
The income for the content generators to be secured also in the future
Gathering inputs from all parties involved in the new value chain

10. Next steps & actions - TISPAN
Finish the protocols of a CDN
CDN interconnection architecture
Study migration of CDN to information centric networks

11. Next steps & actions - Broadcast
Major revision of DVB IPTV specification (ETSI TS ) needed in 2012:
To include functionalities such as Fast Channel Change (FCC) and Service Discovery & Selection (SD&S)
To adapt IPTV, based currently on IPv4, to IPv6
DVB looking at unmanaged IP networks and hybrid (broadcast/broadband/internet) systems which may lead to new ETSI deliverables.
Investigate technology options to deliver DVB type content over the Internet to a large number of CE devices (includes game consoles), PCs or mobile devices

12. Next steps & actions - MCD
Going from the start up to full steam mode
Involve more participation from non traditional standard contributors such as traditional CDN providers
MCD’s ambition is to consolidate its positioning as an active forum where all players in the value chain can come and contribute
