Summary

Recommendation ITU-T J.293 defines three categories of STB to support the combination of various kinds of content distribution schemes including RF-based and IP-based networks. It also specifies STB components and interfaces based on the architecture defined in Recommendations ITU-T J.290, J.291 and J.292. This Recommendation further describes a configurable approach in order to support the region-specific content distribution systems. This Recommendation describes interfaces and behaviours of the components that constitute the STB in terms of physical issues, protocols, operating system, software platform, user interfaces, and so on.
