Service List Registry SLR has joined the DVB Project as it looks to help promote the adoption and deployment of the DVB-I standard internationally.
SLR’s registry is designed to allow media providers to announce audiovisual media and enable any device, display, agent, or application to discover and access any service, over any delivery network, on any compatible display.
The DVB-I standard is the internet-centric mechanism to signal and discover television services, whether they are delivered over IP networks or broadcast networks. The information is then presented to the TV viewer, typically in an EPG.
Dr William Cooper, the chief executive of SLR, explained: “We established the Service List Registry as an independent organisation to provide a globally scalable implementation of the DVB-I specification. We look forward to our continuing work with colleagues in the DVB Project as we build out our platform.”
DVB-I will be a focus for discussion at the DVB World conference in Munich on March 18-19. The conference will consider the technical, economic, and regulatory implications of the evolution of television and video distribution and consumption.
