Abstract :
A major European Union IST project, SAVANT (synchronised and scalable AV content across networks: IST-2001-34814), has been launched bringing together key broadcasters, researchers, academics and industrialists across Europe, to drive the future convergence of broadcast and Internet. SAVANT is committed to develop integrated Internet/broadcast multimedia technologies in order to achieve added-value services to conventional digital and interactive television. The SAVANT project aims to provide an interactive digital framework for scalable broadcast television services converged with television oriented IP services. This work describes new services that can be developed using this framework.
