ANSI/SCTE 164 2010

This document defines a container usable by cable system operators for the delivery of Emergency Alert (EA) metadata into the consumer domain. This metadata is designed to support cable set-top terminals which function as servers of commercial video services (CVS) into the home network, by providing preformatted XML-based EA data required by such Digital Media Servers (DMS) in the home. The container, specified as being in the form of an ANSI J-STD-042-A [2] descriptor, is defined only for carriage within the emergency alert signaling message defined in ANSI J-STD-042-A [2].
