Abstract

This article describes an implementation of a Video-on-Demand (VoD)system for the VoD interoperability test laboratory of the NationalInstitute of Standards and Technology. It describes how Java can beused to implement the client side of a DAVIC based client-serversystem, which consists of a video server and a Set-Top Unit (STU)client. The communication between the video server and the STU isbased on the Digital Storage Media Command and Control (DSM-CC)protocols. The VoD application is defined as a set of Javaclasses. These classes implement the graphical interfaces for usernavigation and control. While this system is compliant with DAVICspecifications, it also permits an elegant integration of DAVICservices to the Internet environment.
