`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`1.1 Purpose
`This specification describes how to create content for the Video on Demand service.
`
`1.2 Scope
`This document describes the specific assets (content and metadata) used by the VOD service that can be distributed
`using the Asset Distribution Interface. It does not specify a distribution method.
`
`1.3 Requirements
`
`Throughout this document, the words that are used to define the significance of particular requirements are
`capitalized. These words are:
`
`“MUST”
`
`This word or the adjective “REQUIRED” means that the item is an absolute
`requirement of this specification.
`
`“MUST NOT”
`
`This phrase means that the item is an absolute prohibition of this specification.
`
`“SHOULD”
`
`This word or the adjective “RECOMMENDED” means that there may exist valid
`reasons in particular circumstances to ignore this item, but the full implications
`should be understood and the case carefully weighed before choosing a different
`course.
`
`“SHOULD NOT”
`
`This phrase means that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances
`when the listed behavior is acceptable or even useful, but the full implications
`should be understood and the case carefully weighed before implementing any
`behavior described with this label.
`
`“MAY”
`
`
`
`This word or the adjective “OPTIONAL” means that this item is truly optional. One
`vendor may choose to include the item because a particular marketplace requires it
`or because it enhances the product, for example; another vendor may omit the same
`item.

`CableLabs VOD Content Version 1.1
`
`MD-SP-VOD-CONTENT1.1-01-020927
`
`3 TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
`
`This specification uses the following terms:
`Metadata
`Metadata is descriptive data associated with a content asset package or file.
`It may vary in depth from merely identifying the content package title or
`information to populate an EPG to providing a complete index of different
`scenes in a movie or providing business rules detailing how the content
`package may be displayed, copied, or sold. Separate uses for metadata have
`originated from the studios, distribution networks (Cable, Satellite), down to
`the CPE (STBs, PVRs).
`
` ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS

`Metadata Specifications
`
`5 ASSET STRUCTURE
`
`The format of the asset structure within the ADI package for the Title asset is defined as follows:
`Package
`|
`package metadata
`+---title asset
`|
`| title asset metadata
`|
`+--movie asset
`|
`|
`movie asset metadata
`|
`|
`movie asset content
`|
`+--still-image asset(box-cover, poster)
`|
`|
`box cover asset metadata
`|
`|
`box cover asset content
`|
`+--preview asset
`|
`|
`preview asset metadata
`|
`|
`preview asset content
`
`5.1 Package
`
`This describes the VOD content and metadata for each asset that is part of a Title asset. The names and values of
`some package-level metadata items are specified here, but the exact format for transmission purposes is described in
`the appropriate Asset Distribution Interface document. General asset metadata items specified in the ADI are
`designated with “AMS” and are placed here for informational purposes only. If any discrepancies occur between this
`specification and the ADI document for the “AMS” fields, the ADI document is the authoritative source. The App
`Data App element is determined from the “Spec” Column table and has allowed values of “MOD” or “SVOD” to
`indicate application. Metadata items are identified with “MOD” per prior practice, as they have been specific to the
`MOD application; however, most of these can be considered to be “VOD” under this specification, where similar
`assets are used in conjunction with other applications. A subsequent version of this specification will delineate
`content-specific metadata with “VOD”, effectively assigning this “application” tag to the asset repository.
`
`Although specifically addressed by the ADI specification, the following items are re-stated for the purposes of
`clarity:
`• The XML file shall be named ADI.XML.
`• The DTD file shall be named ADI.dtd
`
`FORMAT: Metadata should be in XML format that is compatible with the W3C Extensible Markup Language
`(XML) version 1.0 (Second Edition).
