This part of IEC 62481 specifies the information needed to build interoperable networked
platforms and devices for the digital home on audio, video and multimedia systems, including
interoperable components for devices and software infrastructure, physical media, network
transports, device discovery and control, media management and control, media formats, and
media transport protocols. This standard also provides product developers with a long-term
architectural view, plus specific guidance for IP-networked platforms, devices and applications
in the home.
