Part 1: General
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
A Category D liaison was set up between TC100 and the OPEN IPTV FORUM in 2011. The
OPEN IPTV FORUM was merged with the Hybrid Broadcast Broadband Television (HbbTV)
Association in 2014.International Standard IEC 62766-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 100:
Audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment.The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
The IEC 62766 series is based on a series of specifications that was originally developed by
the Open IPTV Forum (OIPF). They specify the user-to-network interface (UNI) for consumer
terminals to access IPTV and open internet multimedia services over managed or non-
managed networks as defined by OIPF.The Open IPTV Forum (OIPF) IPTV solution provides specifications for an end-to-end
platform for the deployment of IPTV services. Figure 1 shows a high-level logical view of the
scope of the OIPF IPTV solution.The Open IPTV Forum has developed an end-to-end solution to allow any consumer end-
device, compliant to the Open IPTV Forum specifications, to access enriched andpersonalised IPTV services either in a managed or a non-managed network.
To that end, the Open IPTV Forum focuses on standardising the user-to-network interface
(UNI) both for a managed and a non-managed network, as depicted in Figure 1.Managed Network

Figure 1 – Open IPTV Forum scope
Throughout the specifications, the terms “open Internet” and “unmanaged network” are used
interchangeably to refer to the ability to access any service provider using any access
network provider without any quality of service guarantees.Managed network IPTV services are provided with QoS guarantees, for example within a
triple-play walled garden.Open Internet IPTV services are accessed via the Internet, without QoS guarantees, for
example via a portal.In both cases, IPTV services are accessed via a service platform that provides supporting
facilities for multiple service providers.Third-party content providers supply media assets that are delivered within the IPTV services.
The Open IPTV Forum (OIPF) specification for consumer terminal function and network
interfaces for access to IPTV and open Internet multimedia services consist of the following
multiple parts:---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
