Abstract

With the advent of digital television, more specifically interactive television, the emergence and adoption of the Java™ DVB-MHP standards here in Australia provides developers with a range of new technologies and issues.An appreciation of broadcast technologies, in particular MPEG-2 and the Object Carousel are required to understand the facilities and constraints of this new Java™ technology environment.This paper covers the embedded Java™ technology APIs related to the entire end-to-end broadcast chain: object carousel, the set-top-box environment, AWT GUI development, sending and handling data-updates return channel usage, connection, and back-end servers.The emphasis here is on the Java™ DVB-MHP APIs that support communication mechanisms within the interactive television environment.
