A/96: ATSC Interaction Channel Protocols

3 February 2004, Download PDF File

This standard defines a core suite of protocols to enable remote interactivity in television environments. Remote interactivity requires the use of a two-way interaction channel that enables communications between the client device and remote servers. Examples of remote interactivity include E-commerce transactions during commercials, electronic banking, polling, email services, or other services yet to be defined.
