TA 1 - Terminals for audio, video and data services and content

IEC TR 63447-1:2023 introduces various form factors of smart mobile devices and their impact on multimedia services.
It does not deal with:
a) SMD performance to process multimedia services;
b) hardware performance and technology for each part, such as the battery, the antenna, the display, the main processor, various sensors;
c) the characteristics of the SMD's operating system (Android, iPhone OS etc.);
d) the generation characteristics of telecommunication and radio frequency (including wireless);
e) wearable devices, like smart watch, AR (augmented reality), VR (virtual reality) and so on.

IEC 62106-6:2023 is available as IEC 62106-6:2023 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 62106-6:2023 contains the technical specifications for Open Data Applications in the public domain. This document is maintained by the RDS Forum Office. The RDS Forum Office applies an easy procedure for registering new Open Data Applications, to ensure that they can be used without the need to change the RDS standard. The ODA feature permits defining new applications that can be decoded on a receiver. The receiver needs to the adequate software handler for the specific AID, which identifies the application. Receivers that have not implemented the software handler needed for decoding are not affected by ODA data received for any of the applications already defined and specified. The procedure for registering a new ODA is described in IEC 62106-3.

IEC TR 63122-1:2019 The focus of this standard is the conceptual definition of smart television, basic features, use cases and current technologies based on applications and requirements. They make it clear where further existing standards can be used and highlight where work on standards is needed.
In addition, this document was developed taking into account ISO/IEC Guide 71. The objective of this document is to highlight potential areas for standardisation for smart televisions.

IEC 62106-1:2018 defines the basic layer of the Radio Data System (RDS) intended for application to VHF/FM sound broadcasts in the range 64,0 MHz to 108,0 MHz, which can carry either stereophonic (pilot-tone system) or monophonic programmes (as stated in ITU‑R Recommendation BS.450-3 and ITU-R Recommendation BS.643-3).

IEC 62106-3:2018 defines the Open Data Application (ODA) feature of the Radio Data System (RDS). The ODA feature in essence allows raw data to be transmitted via a transparent data channel from a service provider to a suitably equipped receiver without there being any prior knowledge of the data content by the IEC 62106 standard. This document defines the method of packaging the data within the RDS group structure and the identification of the data (using the Application Identification, AID) such that it can be addressed by an appropriate decoder on the receiver.

IEC 62516-3:2013 describes the T-DMB common application program interface (API). It provides a software platform that, when combined with the T-DMB O/S, forms a universal interface for application programs. This interface allows application programs to be written in such a way that they run on any T-DMB receiver unit, as described in IEC 62516-1:2009 and IEC 62516-2:2011 regardless of its manufacturer. It also defines a software environment that allows multiple application programs to be interoperable on a single receiver unit by sharing the fixed resources of the receiver, and it provides a set of interfaces that the T-DMB middleware and the ASIC specific software use.

IEC 62455:2010 specifies the terminal for a service purchase and protection system for digital broadcasts, called the 18Crypt system. It is applicable in all countries and regions with suitably compliant broadcasting and multimedia distribution systems. Guidelines for compatible broadcast services are given in this standard. The service purchase and protection functions operate in a pure broadcast environment that may be combined with a bi-directional interactivity channel. It is applicable to the following broadcast systems:
- IP datacast over DVB-H systems;
- DVB T/C/S systems;
- MPEG2 TS-based IP systems;
- Non-MPEG2 TS-based IP systems.

IEC 62216:2009 specifies both Standard Definition and High Definition receivers for the DVB-T system. Subtitling and teletext are considered to be components of TV services. It addresses terrestrial delivery of digital transmissions and deployment in countries that use European Latin script based languages. Two types of systems are considered:
- standard systems where services are all SD and
- use well-established codecs.
Standard receivers which can decode standard services are suitable for these systems; advanced systems where some services may use advanced codecs, for example to provide HD video. Advanced receivers which can decode advanced services are suitable for these systems.

specifies the TeleWeb Hyperteletext profile that allows Web-style text and graphics to be displayed on suitable decoders. A TeleWeb service comprises multimedia data files whose format and attributes are defined by this specification

IEC 62298-2:2005 specifies the transmission layer of TeleWeb. TeleWeb services can be broadcast in a number of different ways, for example, VBI, DVB, DAB, etc., and to a variety of decoder types, for example, TVs, portable decoders, PCs, etc. This standard specifies the transmission layer for VBI and DVB broadcasts.
