Summary

Recommendation ITU-T J.1201 specifies the functional requirements for a smart television operating system (TVOS) over integrated broadcast and broadband (IBB) cable networks. A smart TVOS is intended to be installed in an IBB‑capable cable set top box (STB) and television (TV) and to enable broadcasting and interactive services based on the Internet protocol (IP) provided by cable TV operators and third parties. By running a smart TVOS, the IBB-capable cable STB and TV are able to intelligently provide subscribers with advanced and personalized services by downloading and installing advanced and personalized apps from the platforms of cable operators and third parties, which are interconnected with them.
