​​​​​​​​ITU-T Study Group 9: Audiovisual content transmission and integrated broadband cable networks​
(Study Period 2022 - ​2024​)

Responsible for studies relating to:

• use of telecommunication systems for contribution, primary distribution and secondary distribution of audiovisual content, e.g. television programmes and related data services, including interactive services and applications, providing advanced capabilities, e.g. ultra-high definition and high-dynamic range, 3D, virtual reality, augmented reality and multiview;
• use of cable networks, e.g. coaxial cable, optical fibre, hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC), etc., to also provide integrated broadband services. The cable network, primarily designed for audiovisual content delivery to the home, also carries time critical services like voice, gaming, video-on-demand, interactive and multiscreen services, etc. to customer premises equipment (CPE) in the home or enterprise;
  
• use of cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI) and other advanced technologies to enhance audiovisual content contribution and distribution as well as integrated broadband services over the cable networks;
  
• use of accessibility services (like captioning, audio caption) and new interaction technologies (like haptic, gesture, eye tracking and so on) to enhance accessibility of audiovisual content and related data services for people with different ranges of abilities.
