W3C has just rechartered its Web and TV Interest Group. The Interest Group has been the primary driver for the inclusion of television industry features in core standards, e.g. Encrypted Media Extensions, Media Source Extensions, and multi-track HTML video and audio. After an initial wave of specifications, the Interest Group has created new task forces and is recharted with new mission to focus on:

  • Testing
  • Media API (covering Recording and downloading, Terminal capabilities and Metadata)
  • Stereoscopic 3D
  • Timed text/captions

The Interest Group also liaises with several organizations developing TV standards, software and tests for the next generation of network-enabled TV sets, including OIPF, MMI, and HbbTV, thus raising awareness of W3C work in this converging market. See the group's charter for more information. Learn more about Web and TV at W3C.
