18、port (ETR) has been produced by the Terminal Equipment (TE) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). ETRs are informative documents resulting from ETSI studies which are not appropriate for European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) or Interim European Teleco
19、mmunication Standard (LETS) status. An ETR may be used to publish material which is either of an informative nature, relating to the use or the application of ETSs or I-ETSs, or which is immature and not yet suitable for formal adoption as an ETS or an LETS.

20、age 8 ETR 176: December 1995 Blank page 1 Scope This ETR studies interworking and interoperability between retrieval services (Videotex, possibly including moving video) and audiovisual services (videotelephony, videoconferencing) on narrow band networks (Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) a
21、nd Public Switched Telephone Network(PSTN). Retrieval services include Videotex information retrieval applications possibly including moving video and applications based on retrieval of videotelephony ITU-T Recommendations H.320 14 and H.261 17 coded information. - The interworking and interoperabil
22、ity of retrieval services and audiovisual services support applications consisting of combinations of Videotex, videotelephony and/or videoconferencing applications. The services under consideration are Videotex, videotelephony and videoconferencing. This ETR investigates possible scenarios of inter
23、working and interoperability between retrieval services and audiovisual services on narrow band networks and the requirements on Terminal Equipment (TE). 2 References This ETR incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions form other publications.

38、 of real-time (no store-and-forward) end-to-end audiovisual information transfer from user to user or between user and host. Combined Videotex and Audio-Visual (Data) (AV(D) terminal: A TE that consists of a combination of an ISDN Videotex terminal and an ITU-T Recommendation H.320 I41 terminal. Bot
39、h logical terminals can be active each at a time or together. When operated together, each terminal part will use a B-channel, or two B-channels are allocated for use by H.320 and the ISDN D-channel for use by a Videotex protocol. H.320 terminal without data-facility: A TE that conforms to the metho
40、ds described in ETS 300 145 l, but does not offer data capabilities. In the scope of this ETR it implies that the terminal is at least capable of receiving audio and video sent in a framed structure (ETS 300 144 2). And that the terminal is at least capable of sending audio and video in a framed str
41、ucture (ETS 300 144 2). H.320 terminal with data-facliity: A TE that conforms to the methods described in ETS 300 145 I. In the scope of this report it implies that the terminal is at least capable of receiving audio, video and data sent in a framed structure (ETS 300 144 2). And that the terminal i
42、s at least capable of sending audio, video and data in a framed structure (ETS 300 144 2). interactive protocol: A means to interact between the terminal and service centre on the application layer. Interworking Unit (IWU): A unit that transforms information streams according to the appropriate prot
43、ocols. PSTN vfdeotelephony terminal: A TE that is able to exchange audio, video (still or moving images) and possibly data over the PSTN. retrieval service: An interactive service which provides the capability of accessing information stored in databases centres. The information will be sent to the
44、user on demand only. The information can be retrieved on an individual basis, .e., the time at which an information sequence is to start under the control of the user (CCITT Recommendation 8.13 3). service centre: A computer system used by a service provider to authorise access to a service. Other f
45、unctions of the service centre may include assistance to users in selecting the particular application required (either provided by the service centre or by other host computers), as well as management facilities such as billing, statistics gathering, etc. The same computer may also be a host comput
46、er and/or provide a gateway function (definition derived from ITU-T Recommendation F.300 4). Videotex terminal enhanced with H.261: A TE that uses the Videotex protocols over the ISDN network and, in addition, is able to decode and represent video images encoded according to the schemes defined in E
