TV-ANYTIME

The global TV-Anytime Forum is an association of organizations which seeks to develop specifications to enable audio-visual and other services based on mass-market high volume digital storage in consumer platforms - simply referred to as local storage. The TV-Anytime Forum has established four fundamental objectives for the organization, which are:

The TV-Anytime Forum will define specifications that will enable applications to exploit local persistent storage in consumer electronics platforms.

The TV-Anytime Forum is network independent with regard to the means for content delivery to consumer electronics equipment, including various delivery mechanisms (e.g. ATSC, DVB, DBS and others) and the Internet and enhanced TV.

The TV-Anytime Forum will develop specifications for interoperable and
integrated systems, from content creators/providers, through service providers, to the consumers.

The TV-Anytime Forum will specify the necessary security structures to protect the interests of all parties involved.
EXPWAY actively participates to the work of the Metadata and System groups of the TV Anytime Forum in order to adapt BiM to the specific constraints of the broadcast environment. EXPWAY also works with the IOT group (Interoperability Tests Initiative) the goal of which is to implement a complete system exemplifying the entirety of the TV-Anytime specifications.
