DTG’s Project Canvas meeting - tomorrow

Update: Just so it doesn’t escape anyone’s attention - especially those coming from Google searches - this meeting took place on 24 Sep, and is no longer upcoming  “tomorrow”.

As part of the BBC’s extended proposals to the Trust, integration with the industry body DTG (Digital TV Group) was raised as a key way to ensure the Canvas standards would be practical & realistic to adopt from the perspective of non-BBC stakeholders.

The DTG is holding a meeting tomorrow (23 Sep), open to all industry bods, to kick off all things Canvas. Unfortunately at this stage all the available places are filled, but for those interested, below is the agenda for the day care of the DTG:

“The DTG is to hold a meeting to kick-off the profiling and/or development of a common set of standards for hybrid broadcast / IP delivered television in the UK for incorporation into D-Book 7.”

Agenda:

- Introduction and Project Status

- Canvas Proposition, Trade Mark and Relationship with Freeview and Freesat

- Agreed Principles of Engagement with the DTG

- Approach to Standards Adoption and Standardisation

- User Experience

- DTG Project Scope and Structure

- Key Issue Resolution: CA, DRM, EPG

- Test and Conformance

- Project Plan, Key Dependencies and Milestones”
