Definition
The Application Information Table (AIT) provides information on interactive applications associated with a DVB service. Although first used with MHP, a now deprecated middleware specification, the AIT is today used with other technologies including HbbTV. In many places in the associated documentation, the identifiers retain MHP in the name to reflect their origins, but this does not imply limitations on their use with other application types.
Allocated to a single company, the MHP_Organisation_ID is used to determine the origin of an interactive application. MHP_Organisation_IDs are used for HbbTV and MHP applications, and are also allocated to companies generating applications for the US cable community and for the Blu-ray Disc community.
Key fields
- “Organization Name” – name of the organization responsible for the interactive Applications (e.g. “ACMEcast, Inc.”)
