The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) has been working for some time to make the ATVEF Specification a SMPTE standard as well as clean up some of the unclear parts of the current specification.

SMPTE DDE-1 is the result of that work, thanks to the hard work of Mike.  Thanks Mike!

SMPTE DDE-1 contains:

Markup Language (HTML)

Layout Control (CSS with tv:)

Embedded media types

Scripting (ECMAScript)

API's and Document Object Model (DOM 0)

Object Naming System (lid:)

Synchronization (triggers)

DDE-1 is a compliant definition of ATVEF 1.1r26.  You can obtain the standard directly from SMPTE for a nominal fee.

In addition the following SMPTE standards may be of interest:

SMPTE Proposed Standard 357M, "Declarative Data Essence, IP Multicast Encapsulation"

SMPTE Standard 364M, "Declarative Data Essence - Unidirectional Transport Protocol"

SMPTE Proposed Standard 361M, "NTSC IP and Trigger Binding to VBI"

ATVEF would like to thank everyone at SMPTE that worked to create these standards.
