Metada
in broadcasting: A review from the European Broadcasting Union
Jean-Pierre Evain
European
Broadcasting Un ion (EBU), Suiza
Abstract
The European Broadcasting Union is the largest professional association
of broadcasters in the world. One of its mission consists of
coordinating research and development and agree on technologies to be
implemented in broadcast systems. Metadata is one of these
technologies, maybe one of the most complex. The presentation will
address the different forms of metadata covered by EBU specifications,
for production, business-to-business exchange, news, etc. It will also
cover metadata for consumers such as developed within the TV-Anytime
forum to the attention of users of digital personal video recorders.
The challenges of deploying such systems in IT-based broadcasting
facilities will also be introduced.
Jean-Pierre Evain
Jean-Pierre Evain graduated from ENSEA, (Paris), in
1983. After more than 6 years in the
research laboratories of France-Telecom (CCETT) and Deutsche Telekom
(FTZ-Forschung
Institute), he joined the EBU Technical Department's "New Systems and
Services" division, in 1992 as a Senior Engineer on co-ordination of
broadcasting research and development projects.
Since then, he has been directly involved in several leading
fields of international standardisation of digital television including
more
particularly middleware (DVB's Multimedia Home Platform - MHP),
metadata
(chairing the TV-Anytime Phase 1 metadata sub-group and now acting as
phase 1
coordinator), digital rights management (representing the EBU in DVB,
TV-Anytime, CEN, EC NAVSHP and other discussion groups), licensing (in
relation
to DVB, MPEG and TV-Anytime technologies), image quality (chairing for
several
years ITU-R's Working Party on media quality assessment), etc.
His responsibility within EBU currently consists of
organising all metadata and digital rights management activities
covering all
aspects of broadcasting from content and data production to play-out.
He is a member of the European Commission's expert panel in
the framework of which he supports the Commission in reviewing
projects'
proposals and achievements and provides advice on broadcasting related
matters.
