Where can I get the standard?
Is listed on the DVB web site
Current draft (1448 pages) is available as a 19 Mbyte zipped PDF document on the MHP web site.
Committee CT/2 Broadcasting and Related Services has approved the following drafts for publication: ... the Standard for implementation of Data Bbroadcasting, Implementation of the logical-channel-descriptor and the Multimedia Home Platform... From: TAS: In the pipeline, Standards Australia, May 2001
Notes:
The current standard is listed on the DVB web site as: "Digitsl Video Broadcasting (DVB) Multimedia Home Platform (MHP) TS 101 812 A057 (05/00)" (note the misspelling of "Digital" as "Digitsl").The standard is difficult to use, due to it being published as one large PDF file. The use of PDF, is at odds with the stated aim of the standard to use Internet and web standards. Reading the standard is a cumbersome process and lowers its credibility as a guide to efficient electronic communication. This contrasts with successful Internet and web standards, available in Internet and web formats which are simple and quick to download, translate or copy. This, and the poor quality of the design of the MHP web site, may prove a major impediment to use of the standard.
