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.
This document specifies three profiles of the features contained in the IEC 62766 series,
namely:
• the open internet profile;
• the baseline managed profile; and
• the enhanced managed profile.
The three profiles are heirarchical in the sense that the open internet profile is formed of a
sub-set of the features of the baseline managed profile, and that the baseline managed profile
is formed of a sub-set of the features of the enhanced managed profile.
NOTE These profile names are defined as technical terms and as such are not intended to be used for any logo
mark or similar purpose.
Profiles define the minimum set of features that a terminal need to support in order to be able
to claim compliance to that profile, and the maximum set of features that a service can rely on
being present in the OITF. Some features are optional within a profile, and a service can use
capability exchange protocols to determine if a terminal supports such features. Some
features are mandatory or optional depending on the configuration of the OITF, for example
whether the OITF is equipped with local storage or a broadcast tuner.
It is expected that the profiles could be used as the basis for interoperability and certification
programs.

BMP Baseline Managed Profile
EMP Enhanced Managed Profile
OIP Open Internet Profile
4 Release 2 IPTV solution profiles
A profile in the context of the present part is a set of features and elements, as specified in
the other parts of the IEC 62766 series, which could be used by an interoperability and
certification program to define equipment or services as being compliant with this document.
The overall objective is to enable the best possible capability and flexibility for service
providers to deploy services to terminals that are available in the horizontal (i.e., non-
subsidised) market in the near-term time frame. In selecting a set of features and elements
that constitute a profile, a balance is made between the following factors:
• time to market of the compliant OITF within a non-subsidised, horizontal-market device;
• viability of implementation of the selected technologies;
• flexibility in the provision of the envisaged IPTV services;
• enabling a wide range of services to be accessible to the user.
Three profiles are specified in the present document.
• The Open Internet Profile (OIP): this profile is intended for "over-the-top" services that do
not use any QoS provision or terminal management features.
• The Baseline Managed Profile (BMP): this profile adds support for multicast and unicast
content streaming services, including all associated features that facilitate QoS provision
for content delivery in a managed network, compared to the OIP.
• The Enhanced Managed Profile (EMP): this profile adds native support for advanced
managed-network features like IMS, Broadband Content Guide and TR-069 based remote
management, compared to the BMP.
Clauses 5, 6 and 7 provide normative descriptions of the OIP, BMP and EMP respectively.
Clause 8 provides a normative specification of the set of features of each profile in tabular
form, with cross-references to the relevant clauses of the other parts of IEC 62766.
It is believed that Clauses 5, 6 and 7 are consistent with Clause 8, but in the case of an
inadvertent discrepancy, the normative requirements in Clause 8 shall take precedence.

IEC 62766-8:2017 © IEC 2017 – 9 –
5 Open internet profile
5.1 General
An OITF that is compliant with the OIP is referred to as an OIP-OITF.
Open internet IPTV services are accessed via the internet, without QoS guarantees. They
may be accessed via a service platform (e.g., a portal).
The OIP-OITF enables access to compliant services that do not provide QoS guarantees over
at least one network segment between the IPTV service provider and the OITF, independently
from their ISP – i.e. “over the top” (OTT) mode.
The OIP is a sub-set of the BMP and of the EMP in terms of the features included.
Subclauses 5.2 to 5.9 summarise the features of the OIP.
5.2 IPTV Services
The OIP-OITF shall support the scheduled content service, using the HTTP transport method.
Support of the multicast and unicast streamed via RTSP/RTP variants is optional.
The OIP-OITF shall support the streamed CoD service, using the HTTP transport method.
Support of the streamed CoD service via RTSP/RTP is optional.
The OIP-OITF shall support information services, which are realised as DAE applications.
Support for the download CoD and local PVR services in the OIP-OITF is optional and
depends on the provision of persistent storage in the OITF.
Support for the hybrid broadcast broadband service in the OIP-OITF is optional and depends
on the provision of at least one broadcast tuner in the OITF.
5.3 Residential network
5.3.1 WAN gateway
If an OIPF-compliant WAN gateway is present, then it may fulfill the relevant network
attachment functions as specified in 13.2 of IEC 62766-4-1:2017 in order to provide additional
service provider discovery entry points as described in 5.4.
5.3.2 IMS gateway
The IMS gateway (IG) functional entity is not necessary for access to services not relying on
IMS using an OIP-OITF. However, if an IG is present, an OIP-OITF may use it to access some
IMS-based managed network services.
5.3.3 Application gateway
The AG functional entity, as is generally valid, is optional in the OIP.
5.3.4 OITF
The required features for the OIP-OITF are described in 5.4 to 5.9, which deal with specific
aspects of the overall IPTV solution.
Clause 8 provides details about the IPTV solution features that shall be supported by the OIP-
OITF.
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
– 10 – IEC 62766-8:2017 © IEC 2017
5.4 Service provider discovery entry points
The present document defines three methods for the provision of service provider discovery
entry points to the OITF. The availability of these various methods enables the user to access
various service providers’ IPTV services in a convenient manner, namely entry points that are
pre-configured in the OITF, manually entered or acquired entry points, and entry points
provided by the access network service provider.
The WAN gateway may provide service provider discovery entry points via DHCP, as
specified in 13.2.2 of IEC 62766-4-1:2017.
The OIP-OITF may provide pre-configured service provider discovery entry points.
The OIP-OITF may provide means by which the user is able to enter his own chosen service
provider discovery entry points via the OITF user interface.
The OIP-OITF shall offer the complete set of service provider discovery entry points acquired
by all of the three above methods, if any are provided, but the method of presentation and
relative positioning of the various service provider discovery entry points in the user interface
is out of the scope of the present document.
5.5 Service discovery and content metadata
If the OIP-OITF provides persistent storage and supports the download CoD service, then it
shall support the provision of content metadata via the content access descriptor for that
service, otherwise all service discovery data and content metadata shall be embedded within
the DAE application CE-HTML pages.
5.6 Authentication methods
The OIP-OITF shall support the following authentication methods specified in the indicated
subclauses of IEC 62766-7:2017:
• HTTP basic and digest authentication (IEC 62766-7:2017, 5.4.1), and
• web-based authentication (IEC 62766-7:2017, 5.4.3).
5.7 Content and service protection
The OIP-OITF shall support at least one of the CSP solutions specified in IEC 62766-7, i.e. it
shall support the TCA and/or CSPG-DTCP and/or CSPG-CI+, in order to support compliant
services that deliver protected content.
5.8 SVG tiny V1.2
The use of SVG tiny 1.2 enables advanced graphics capabilities within a DAE application, but
it is expected that not all terminals will be able to support SVG tiny 1.2; hence, the support of
SVG tiny 1.2 in the OIP-OITF is optional.
A DAE application may use SVG tiny 1.2 as specified in IEC 62766-5, but it is recommended
that service providers ensure that an OITF that does not support SVG tiny 1.2 is nevertheless
able to offer the full functionality of the service to the user, except for the enhanced user
interface.
5.9 Remote management
The remote management feature for the OIP facilitates the function of basic inventory of
OITFs that are accessing services, without the presence of a remote management server that
provisions the OITF.
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
IEC 62766-8:2017 © IEC 2017 – 11 –
The OITF shall support the remote management API as specified in 7.11 of IEC 62766-5-
1:2017.
The OITF shall support an upgrade process that can be triggered via the DAE remote
management API. The upgrade process remains manufacturer-specific and the provision of
upgrades is subject to deployment needs.
6 Baseline managed profile
6.1 General
In the present document, the baseline managed profile is referred to as “BMP”.
An OITF that is compliant with the BMP is referred to as a BMP-OITF.
The BMP is a super-set of the OIP, and a sub-set of the EMP in terms of the features included.
All features that are mandatory in the OIP are also mandatory in the BMP.
The BMP-OITF extends the functions needed to provide the pure "over-the-top" (OTT) service
support of the OIP with functions that make it able to access content delivery services with full
QoS provision in a managed network environment. These functions are chosen in order to
allow a BMP-OITF to be able to access the full range of IPTV content services, and act as a
near-term intermediate step towards the full range of capabilities offered by the Enhanced
Managed Prof
