DSM-CC (Digital Storage Media Command and Control) work began early on to provide VCR like functions as an annex to MPEG-2 TS ISO/IEC 13818-1. However, it subsequently expanded in MPEG-2 ISO/IEC 13818-6 to provide a Client-Network-Server paradigm for selection, access and control of distributed video sources. The ISO/IEC 13818-6 now includes VCR like functions in the Stream Control within a larger set of function shown below: – User-Network Client Configuration – User-Network Session protocol – User-User Directory, Stream control, File access – Interactive and broadcast download – Broadcast object carousel – Switched digital broadcast channel change protocol While all the above functions can be implemented together with some obvious synergism, a subset of the functions can also be implemented with other non-DSM-CC functions. In other words DSM-CC IS is a tool-kit.
