VOD Metadata

CableLabs has established a project to investigate the distribution of content assets (e.g., movies) from multiple content providers sent over diverse networks to cable operators.

VOD Metadata

Metadata is descriptive data associated with a content asset package. It may vary in depth from merely identifying the content package title or information to populate an EPG, to providing a complete index of different scenes in a movie or providing business rules detailing how the content package may be displayed, copied, or sold. Initial efforts focus on creating specifications for Video-on-Demand (VOD) and Subscription Video-on-Demand (SVOD) applications.

Agreements

  • Metadata Confidential Information Access Agreement
    Required confidentiality agreement necessary to review working drafts of future specifications.
  • Contributor Agreement
    Required agreement to participate as a contributor to the specification. Completion of this form allows for participation in focus groups which are created to assist in drafting of future specifications. Contributors agree to have contributions that are incorporated into an issued specification become part of a royalty-free Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) pool.
  • Implementer License
    This agreement provides implementers 1) a copyright license to all, or any portion, of an issued specification and 2) participation in a royalty-free Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) pool.
