DAVIC , Digital Audio Video Council, was founded in 1994 with the aim of promoting the success of interactive digital audio visual applications and services by promulgating specifications of open interfaces and protocols that maximise interoperability, not only across geographical boundaries but also across diverse applications, services and industries. It was a non profit international organization based in Switzerland . DAVIC was closed, according to its statutes, after 5 years of activity. At the most DAVIC had 222 companies from more than 25 countries as members. It represented all sectors of the audio visual industry manufacturing computer, consumer electronics and telecommunications equipment and service broadcasting , telecommunications and CATV , as well as a number of government agencies and research organisations. The four major sets of specifications culminated in 1999 with the 1.4 version. The 1.5 version of DAVIC was a set of additional tool and service definition opening the road towards the setting of IP based audiovisual services such as the TV Anytime and TV Anywhere services. The management of DAVIC had proposed the continuation beyond the 5 year date with a program of work centred on two projects TV Anytime and TV Anywhere . The membership did not support the continuation of DAVIC but the idea of TV Anytime continued as a new organisation. 1.4.1 specifications Description of DAVIC Audio Visual Functionalities System Reference Models and Scenarios Service Provider System Architecture and Interfaces Delivery System Architecture And Interfaces Service Consumer ...
