Globally Executable Mhp (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Globally Executable MHP (GEM) is a DVB specification of a Java] based middleware for TV broadcast receivers, IPTV terminals and Blu-Ray players. GEM is an ETSI standard ( ETSI TS 102 819, ETSI TS 102 728 ) and an ITU "Recommendation (ITU-T J.202). GEM defines a set of common functionalities which are independent from the signaling and protocols of a specific transmission network and enables to write interoperable Java applications for TV. GEM is not intended to be directly implemented, but rather forms the basis for broader specifications targeting a particular network infrastructure (e.g. US cable) or class of device (e.g. Blu-ray Disc players). GEM defines profiles for different device classes (targets) - these define the set of available features of GEM for this device class. Currently GEM defines targets (API profiles) for broadcast, packaged media (Blu-Ray) and IPTV. Combinations of these targets can be combined into a hybrid GEM platform, which enables to build devices with multiple network interfaces, such as a combined broadcast/IPTV set-top box.
