Audiovisual Services – Framework

Posted on |

Audiovisual Services – Framework

A number of services are or will be, defined in CCITT having as their common characteristic the transmission of speech together with other information reaching the eventual user in visual form. This Recommendation H.200 concerns a set of such services which should be treated in a harmonized way; it is convenient to refer to the members of this set as ” audiovisual services “(abbreviated to AV services).

Framework

Recommendations in the H.200 set are arranged in three main sections:

  1. Service definitions – These specify the service as seen by the user, including basic service, optional enhancements, quality, and intercommunication requirements, together with operational aspects; technical implementation methods are taken into account but not defined herein.
  2. Infrastructure – This section includes all the Recommendations which are applicable to two or more distinct services: these encompass network configuration, frame structures, control/indications, communication/intercommunication, and audio/video coding. The “infrastructure” includes this generality of signals which flow on unrestricted digital bearers on established network connections – it does not include the methods of call establishment and control, orchestrated by signals outside these bearers.
  3. Systems and terminal equipment – This section deals with the technical implementation of specific services: it, therefore, includes service-specific equipment for the application layer and draws upon the infrastructure Recommendations to identify the detailed processes required for the particular service.

An “other aspects” section is included, covering such matters as call control, including aspects which are particular to AV services but, some involving out-of-band signals, do not come within the scope of the infrastructure section above.

List of audiovisual services covered

The following audiovisual services shall be included in the harmonized set:

  • narrowband videophone (p × 64 kbit/s);
  • broadband videophone (a teleservice for broadband ISDN);
  • narrowband videoconferencing (p × 64 kbit/s);
  • broadband video conferencing (a teleservice for broadband ISDN);
  • audiographic teleconferencing;
  • telephony (a degenerate case of an AV service, included for intercommunication purposes);
  • telesurveillance
