SLR, the Service List Registry, has joined the industry-led DVB Project consortium to develop and promote the adoption of DVB-I, its international solution to the problem of audiovisual media service discovery.
The Service List Registry allows audiovisual media services delivered over diverse networks to be discovered and accessed on any compatible device, display, or application.
Central to the registry is the DVB-I specification for service discovery and programme
metadata developed by the DVB Project.
DVB-I enables service information describing audiovisual media to be delivered online
using open standards.
London-based SLR says it became a member of the DVB to help promote the adoption and deployment of the DVB-I standard internationally.
SLR is developing a global online platform for audiovisual media service discovery.
Dr William Cooper, the Chief Executive of SLR, said: “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 18–19
March. The conference will consider the technical, economic, and regulatory implications of the evolution of television and video distribution and consumption.
Founded in 1993, the DVB Project is an industry-led consortium of media and technology companies working together to design open technical specifications for digital media delivery.
