HBBTV System
HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV) is a new
industry standard that seamlessly combines TV services
delivered via broadcast with services delivered via
broadband and also enables access to Internet only
services for consumers using connected TVs and set-
top boxes. Services delivered through HbbTV include
traditional broadcast TV channels, catch-up services,
video-on-demand, EPG, interactive advertising,
personalisation, voting, games, social networking and
other multimedia applications.
HbbTV applications are available on channels where
they are signalled by the broadcaster (currently various
channels on Astra broadcast HbbTV applications). The
broadcaster marks one application as “autostart” and
this one is started by the platform automatically. The
autostart applications are generally launched with a small
red button icon to notify the user that there is an HbbTV
application on that channel. Press the red button to open
the application page. After the page is displayed you can
go back to the initial red button icon state by pressing
the red button again. You can toggle between the red
button icon mode and full UI mode of the application
via pressing red button. It should be noted that the red
button switching capability is provided by the application
and some application may behave differently.
If you switch to another channel while an HbbTV
application is active (either in red button icon mode or full
UI mode), the following scenarios can occur.
•
The application can continue running.
•
The application can be terminated.
•
The application can be terminated and another
autostart red button application can be launched.
HbbTV allows the applications to be retrieved both from
broadband or broadcast. The broadcaster may enable
both ways or one of them. If the platfrom does not have
an operational broadband connection, the platform can
still launch applications transmitted on broadcast.
The autostart red button applications generally provide
links to other applications. An example of this is shown
below. The user then can switch to other applications by
using the links provided. The applications should provide
a way to terminate themselves, usually
Exit
button is
used for this.
