MediaNet, is a key and the largest FP6 Networked Audio-Visual Systems and Home Platforms – NAVSHP IP project, which addresses the domain of digital multimedia personal communication and content distribution for residential markets, as well as cooperation schemes between content owners, service providers, network access operators, and telecommunication, computer, components and consumer electronics industries. The objective is to remove the obstacles in Europe to end-to-end digital communications and content exchange, from content/service providers to customers and between persons, over shared broadband access and home network infrastructures, while protecting at the same time suppliers’ and customers’ investments, content owners’ rights, assuring a fair revenues sharing to the stakeholders of the value chain, as well as permitting the necessary regulation actions. The MEDIANET open architecture model enable the deployment of a plethora of different multimedia services from different suppliers over common access and home networks. It will develop enabling technologies, equipment, architectures, services as well as related standards, business models and good practices, addressing content distribution and access services, access/home interworking at the gateway, common home networking, distributed media storage systems, multimedia terminal platforms, common content protection approaches with different digital rights management systems. Advanced coding/decoding circuits based on the latest standards will enable HQ audio-video distribution over wireless connections.
