Summary: Recommendation ITU-T H.721 describes and specifies the functionalities of the Internet protocol television (IPTV) terminal devices for the IPTV basic services defined in Recommendation ITU-T H.720. This Recommendation is targeted at IPTV terminal devices capable of receiving linear television (TV) service and video-on-demand services, with additional data content (such as text) using a managed content delivery network. The service definition takes into consideration conditions on content delivery such as quality of service (QoS). The expected types of IPTV terminal devices are set-top boxes and digital TV sets with embedded IPTV capabilities. The second edition introduced support for high efficiency video coding (HEVC), dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH), MPEG-4 audio lossless coding (ALS), MPEG-4 advanced audio coding (AAC), DTS-HD, timed text markup language (TTML), MPEG media transport (MMT) and several corrections and clarifications. The third edition introduces support for new technologies such as timestamped fragmented TLV (TFT).
