Objective
MEDIANET is about media content exchanges in digital networks. Targeting multimedia communications and A/V content distribution services for residential markets, it addresses new possible supply chain architectures and cooperation schemes between content owners, service providers, network service providers, and personal computer and consumer electronics industries. The MEDIANET Consortium gathers major European players: Consumer Electronics, Telecommunication equipment and services, Components, Value-added Integrators, Software Developers, Content Aggregators, as well as a number of Universities and Research Institutes in the vanguard of digital technologies, telecommunication and multimedia sciences. Research experts on industrial economics of content and networks stimulate the Consortium activities towards more economical relevance.
The MEDIANET initiative aims at the abolition of obstacles in Europe to the exchange of digital media and audio-visual goods from creators and providers to customers and between citizens, 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 and permitting the necessary regulation actions. The MEDIANET open architecture model will 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.
