13、ational Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, ope

14、rating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn,

15、produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In

Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g.

17、, interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not sug

ITU-T H.761 (11/2014) v Introduction Nested context language (NCL) is a declarative XML-based language initially designed for hypermedia document specification for the web. The intrinsic abi

28、lity of NCL for easily defining spatio-temporal synchronization among media assets, including viewer interactions, in addition to the languages flexibility, reusability, multi device support and application content adaptability, make it an outstanding solution for IPTV systems. NCL is also the decla

29、rative language used in the Japanese Brazilian terrestrial DTV standard (ISDB-T). NCL is a glue language that holds media objects together in a multimedia presentation, no matter which object types they are. In this sense, media objects may be image objects (JPEG, PNG, etc.), video objects (MPEG, MO

30、V, etc.), audio objects (MP3, WMA, etc.), text objects (TXT, PDF, etc.), imperative objects (with Lua code, etc.), other declarative objects (HTML, LIME, SVG, MHEG, nested NCL applications, etc.), etc. Which media objects are supported depends on which media players are embedded in the NCL player (p

31、art of the Ginga-NCL environment). As an example, NCL treats an HTML document as one of its possible media objects. In this way, NCL does not substitute but instead embeds HTML-based documents. The same reasoning applies to other media content and multimedia content objects and also to objects with

32、content coded in any computer language. Ginga-NCL is an NCL presentation engine built as a component of a DTV middleware. An open source reference implementation of Ginga-NCL is available under the GPLv2 licence (http:/www.gingancl.org.br/index_en.html). This reference implementation was developed i

33、n such a way so that it can easily integrate a variety of media-object players for audio, video, image, text, etc., including imperative execution engines and other declarative language players. A special NCL object type defined in Ginga-NCL is NCLua, an imperative media-object with Lua code as its

34、content. Because of its simplicity, efficiency and powerful data description syntax, Lua is considered the default scripting language for Ginga-NCL. The Lua engine is small and written in ANSI/C, making it easily portable to several hardware platforms. The Lua engine is also distributed as free soft

35、ware under the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) licence (http:/www.lua.org/license.html). Rec. ITU-T H.761 (11/2014) 1 Recommendation ITU-T H.761 Nested context language (NCL) and Ginga-NCL 1 Scope This Recommendation1 specifies the nested context language (NCL) and an NCL presentation en

36、vironment, called Ginga-NCL, to provide interoperability and harmonization among IPTV multimedia application frameworks. To provide global standard IPTV services, it is foreseeable that a combination of different standard multimedia application frameworks will be used. Therefore, this Recommendation

37、 specifies the nested context language, as one of those standards that compose the multimedia application frameworks, to provide interoperable use of IPTV services. Ginga-NCL is an NCL presentation environment that integrates NCL and Lua players. NCL and Lua frameworks can be used in other declarati

38、ve environments, but if they are used together they shall follow the Ginga-NCL specification. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.
