A Novel Design Technique Using Extended PMCP(Program and Metadata Communication Protocol) for ACAP(Advanced Common Application Platform)

This paper presents and implements a novel design technique of ACAP TS generating server. This model is designed following the standards of PMCP 3.0 and has compatibility with other set-top box middleware which follow standards. This model is designed to handle different kinds of data efficiently. This makes it easy to add various data groups and raises scalability for the system. To evaluate the proposed model, we have compared with other previous models and shows more efficiency in both TS generating and transmission time of 35% and 34.7%, respectively.
