Abstract

DAVIC is establishing the industry standard for end-to-end interoperability of broadcast and interactive digital audio-visual information. Its published specifications, DAVIC 1.0-1.4, are backward compatible and form the foundation for commercial interactive multimedia experiences. Each specification is market-driven and developed where possible in close synergy with the products and work in progress of other standards-developing organizations. In addition, DAVIC 1.3.1 has been submitted as a Draft International Standard to ISO/IEC JTC 1 in order to establish this industry specification as a recognized international standard and to contribute to the international standards community. DAVIC´s future goals are clear, and significant progress is being made on achieving TV anytime/anywhere as the next stage to full interactive multimedia services
