Abstract
Open systems will enable video servers and set-tops to provide different services in a variety of environments. Hewlett-Packard is interested in applying the principles of open systems to video on demand (VOD). In particular, the company is developing a technology base that will allow their servers and set-tops to operate in a variety of environments and enable the provision of a variety of services. The impact that the different VOD system elements have on the video server and set-top are examined from a communications standpoint. Opportunities for open or standard interfaces are identified and recommendations are made on what these should be where possible.Keywords
