Other Identifiers

This page lists DVB Identifiers that are not currently available for registration via this site. These identifiers can be made available for registration should the need arise.

From time to time, the DVB Steering Board takes the decision to deprecate specifications, whether because they have been superseded by another specification, have become obsolete and are thus no longer needed, or have never been implemented. Identifiers related to deprecated specifications are among those listed below.

Root of Trust ID


CP System ID

Definition: A CP_System_ID is used to identify a CPS – Content Protection System. As DVB-CPCM, DVB’s set of specifications for Content Protection and Copy Management, is designed to facilitate interoperability, CP_System_IDs need to be assigned to CP Systems which interact with CPCM to ensure that their private data (e.g. transactional data or usage scenario information) is correctly passed through DVB-CPCM.

Defined in:
TS 102 825-4 V1.1.1

IPDC Notification Type ID

Definition: IPDC (IP Datacast) Notification is a function by which the network provides messages about forthcoming and not predictable events of interest to the terminal or the user. An IPDC Notification may lead to subsequent interaction from the user/the terminal. The information carried in the notification messages can be related to the (DVB) network supporting the IPDC system, the IP platform, or the services described in a given ESG.

Defined in:
TS 101 162 V1.4.1

IPDC Operator ID

Defintion: An IPDC Operator is a network entity managing IPDC key streams. It is uniquely identified by a pair of two DVB identifiers: an IPDC_Operator_ID value and a CA_System_ID value.

Defined in:
TS 101 162 V1.4.1

Payload ID

Definition: For the transport of Service Discovery & Selection (SD&S) records, ETSI TS 102 034 defines the DVBSTP protocol. The different types of SD&S information are distinguished by the Payload_ID field in the DVBSTP header.

Defined in:
TS 102 034
TS 102 539
TS 102 824

Platform ID

Definition: Platform_IDs are globally unique IDs used in connection with mobile TV services, to enable roaming in connection with services based using the DVB-IPDC (IP Datacast) specifications.

Defined in:
TS 102 470 V1.1.1
EN 301 192 V1.4.2

Private Resource Definer ID

Definition: The Private_Resource_Definer_ID specifies the organization responsible for defining usage, syntax and semantics of private resources provided by DVB-CI modules.

Defined in:
TS 101 699 V1.1.1

Registration Authority ID

Definition: The Registration_Authority_ID identifies the authority that allocates private_resource_definer values for use on the DVB Common Interface to applicants. This identifier is managed by ETSI. It allows ETSI to delegate authority for managing parts of the range of private_resource_definer values to other registration authorities.

Defined in:
TS 101 699 V1.1.1

Root of Trust ID

Definition: The Root_of_Trust_ID is specific to the 18Crypt DVB-H IPDC service purchase & protection (SPP) specification, i.e. Annex B of TS 102 474.

Defined in:
EN 102 474 V1.1.1
