Consumer terminal function for access to IPTV and open internet multimedia services - Part 6: Procedural application environment
IEC 62766-6:2017(E) specifies the procedural application environment (PAE) component of the OIPF terminal function (OITF). It also defines the UNI reference point UNIS-12 of the OIPF functional architecture summarised in Annex B of IEC 62766-1:2017.
The PAE is an application environment for IPTV services based on Java. Like other specifications such as OCAP, ACAP and Blu-ray, which are, or include, GEM terminal specifications, this document follows the structure of ETSI TS 102 728.
