MichaelC: Second Screen discussion
17:16:57 [janina]
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa/2021Dec/0011.html
17:17:08 [JF]
Q+
17:17:15 [MichaelC]
https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/291
17:17:36 [Lionel_Wolberger]
janina: Had a dialogue with Francois regarding the broader meaning of Second Screen
17:17:42 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... and the sending of captions
17:19:19 [becky]
ack JF
17:19:23 [Lionel_Wolberger]
becky: Clarifying. Ignoring a11y. Does second screen mean separating audio, video, caption streams?
17:19:46 [Lionel_Wolberger]
JF: Discussed on MAUR. It is simply a second screen, sending streamed content to the device
17:19:58 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... refreshable braille output device distracts from the fundamental question
17:20:23 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... which is, when sending content to a Second Screen, the supplemental pieces (caption) can be furnished in-band or out of band
17:20:27 [janina]
q+
17:20:36 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... out of band should be sent with the child construct of, "track"
17:21:06 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... this ensures the second screen(tablet, watch, telephone) will have the responsiblity to provide the AT support
17:21:37 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... Consider a dumb terminal without a speaker-- it will lack the ability to drive audio
17:22:30 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... the second screen is never in the control (aka master) role. e.g., only the primary device can hit pause, which controls the media stream
17:23:04 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... APA could insist that the second screen must support assistive technologies
17:23:15 [becky]
ack janina
17:23:16 [Lionel_Wolberger]
becky: This is about chartering
17:23:29 [Lionel_Wolberger]
janina: The charter can enforce that they are defining an API
17:23:42 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... we are still clarifying what they can and cannot achieve
17:24:35 [Lionel_Wolberger]
JF: The issue seems to be output vs input. the second screen can process the stream regardless of the primary device
17:24:51 [Lionel_Wolberger]
q+
17:25:05 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... make sure the second screen is not constrained in any way
17:25:49 [JF]

ack Lionel_Wolberger
17:27:33 [becky]
ack JF
17:27:41 [janina]
q+
17:28:19 [Lionel_Wolberger]
Lionel_Wolberger: It seemed that some people hinted that the second screen has all capabilities. We want to be sure that the second screen can consume the API properly, and then render whatever it is a capable of rendering, including any AT-oriented information
17:28:39 [becky]
q+
17:28:53 [Lionel_Wolberger]
JF: Yes, that is the intention. The Second Screen API should ensure that all the relevant HTML is sent to the second screen including any anciallry data,
17:29:01 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... particularly a11y information
17:29:13 [becky]
ack janina
17:29:16 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... must remain intact so that if the second screen *can* render, it will
17:29:50 [Lionel_Wolberger]
janina: For example, the Bluetooth Speaker may be selected (by the user) to only receive the audio descriptions
17:30:03 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... this relies on a good definition of the controller
17:30:08 [Joshue108]
q?
17:30:21 [Lionel_Wolberger]
JF: Two use cases
17:30:24 [Joshue108]
q+
17:30:36 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... (1) the controller is a selector, determining what the second screen renders
17:30:49 [JF]
Q+
17:30:49 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... (2) the secondary device has all information
17:31:37 [Lionel_Wolberger]
becky: Main receiver is the controller, implies that the second screen has an API that can be queried, and respond with a list of the services that are supported
17:31:48 [becky]
ack becky
17:31:48 [Joshue108]
ack bec
17:31:52 [Lionel_Wolberger]
janina: A dumb braille display cannot. Other devices can.
17:31:53 [Joshue108]
ack josh
17:32:29 [Lionel_Wolberger]
Joshue108: Second screen may not be able to be a completely dumb device.
17:32:38 [janina]
q+
17:32:41 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... an API to mediate the choices sounds important
17:32:50 [becky]
ack JF
17:33:28 [Lionel_Wolberger]
JF: Their response was centered on a dumb device. What I seek is more clarification when the second screen is a *smart* device
17:33:49 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... which can help the end-user make selections
17:33:55 [becky]
ack janina
17:34:21 [Lionel_Wolberger]
janina: The response also said Second Screen APi would not support a text stream. This is a problem, as captions are always a text streem
17:34:42 [Lionel_Wolberger]
JF: Text output does not imply that it will be a text stream. It may be transmitted in MP4 wrapper

17:36:16 [Lionel_Wolberger]
JF: We want the HTML information to be preserved. We dont need it to be supported
17:36:21 [Lionel_Wolberger]
janina: made available?
