Day 2: 6 March 2008

Session 3: Communications, spectrum and standards (part 2)

Day 2 of the workshop opened with a continuation of the theme “Communications, spectrum and standards” with a session moderated by Mr Pierre-André Probst (Ofcom and chair of ITU‑T Study Group 16). He contrasted the bottom-up approach to a standardization work with a top-down approach, dealing with systems as a whole.


Mr Shuji Hirakawa (Chair of International Electrotechnical Commission, Technical Committee 100) presented on “Audio, video and multimedia standards for the fully networked car”. IEC TC100’s responsibilities cover home networking as well as audiovisual content mobility between the home and vehicle and vice-versa. He outlined the work of the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA), which sets out an interoperability framework for content sharing. Until now, much of the media in cars was still analogue (e.g. analogue radio and TV broadcasts, cassette players). As media in the home shifts to digital, so too will in-car entertainment. Recent developments in content delivery include digital broadcasting, optical discs, MP3 players, mobile devices with a Bluetooth connection, and via flash memory cards. In the future, an SD Card may act like a “golden key” to share content among multiple devices and, combined with Bluetooth, to control content on different devices; both in the home and in the car (see Figure 8).
