scope:

The present document covers a subset of the use cases from the DVB Home Network commercial requirements (TM3422) and described in DVB BlueBook A109 [3]; it is therefore called DVB-HN Phase 1. It supports features like:

• connecting DVB HN devices to the home network allowing them to receive existing DVB services;

• detecting other DVB Home Network devices on the home network;

• detecting capabilities of other DVB Home Network devices on the home network;

• advertising of DVB content to other DVB HN devices on the home network:

- that is available on the Access Network;

- that is stored on a DVB Home Network device on the home network;

• streaming DVB content:

- from the Access Network over the home network to a DVB Home Network device;

- from a DVB Home Network device over the home network to another DVB Home Network device.

NOTE: This first version of the present document does not support "multi-component" streaming but the intention is to align with the work ongoing in UPnP AV4 to address these requirements.
