Empowering People
and Their Families at Home
Our homes are the center of our lives. Home is the place where we can relax and share time
with family and friends. Increasingly in their homes, people are using and relying on digital
devices and media to express themselves, participate in interactive and passive forms of
entertainment, manage their lives, and communicate from every room and on the go. The
home is going digital. But for digital home technologies to spread and be assimilated even
faster into modern life, the consumer electronics, computer, and entertainment industries
must continue working together to make digital devices, applications, content, broadband,
and networking easy to use and closely aligned with consumer needs and desires.
To do this, the industry needs to make it easy for people to:
• Share content (such as photos and videos) with family and
friends no matter where they are, what time it is, or what
devices are available.
• Reliably and securely communicate across multiple devices
from locations inside or outside the home.
• Use the same content and applications on a variety of form
factors and devices.
• Access independent and collaborative online education and
personal enrichment opportunities that fit a wide range of
interests and needs for individuals and families.
• Enjoy immersive experiences with games, movies, TV,
and music throughout the home, tailored to each person’s
preferences and leisure patterns.
• Simplify the use and management of a technically advanced home.
Emerging products, content, and services already show the
benefits of fulfilling these needs. Social networking and sharing
rich content is popular: MySpace* traffic has increased 367
percent from April 2005 to April 2006 and YouTube* has grown
297 percent from January to June 2006, the greatest growth
among the top 25 Web brands.1
Increasing video downloads
and their use on mobile form factors is another example. NBC’s
The Office* delivered its highest ratings ever in January 2006
among adults 18 to 49—a result NBC attributed in large part to
the show’s popularity as a portable media player download.2
Other positive trends:
• American households wired with entertainment networks are
expected to more than quadruple within the next few years.3
• Half of all households in the United States and Japan have
digital cameras, as do 41 percent of all European households.
Digital photography is now one of the fastest-adopted
technologies of all time.4
• Global broadband video subscriptions are expected to jump
from two million to 34 million between 2005 and 2010,
reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 60
percent. North America will experience the most rapid rate
of growth during this time period with a CAGR of 78 percent,
followed by Europe, the Middle East, and Africa with a CAGR
of 61 percent, and Asia/Pacific with a CAGR of 41 percent.5
Intel defines the digital home as
a home in which broadband and
wireless networking make digital
devices easier to use and enable
the sharing of personal content
and exchange of communications—
inside and outside the home.

2007 Digital Home Vision:
Simple, Entertaining, and Extremely Cool
Never have there been so many great choices for ways to use the PC as a communication
and entertainment control hub throughout the home. Nor has the PC ever been so powerful.
The latest Intel® Viiv™ technology-based PCs based on Intel® Core™ microarchitecture
breathe new life into everything from stunning game play to multi-tasking performance.
Instant On makes the PC as responsive as a TV or stereo. Equipped with a TV tuner card and
a connection to the Internet, a PC combines the best of two great sources of entertainment
to the home—and can record whatever you’re not around to see. Even better, you have
choices for both what you want to view content on and where. You can transfer video and
music from your main PC to laptops, portable media players, and other devices.
Here are some of the things Intel believes you as a software
developer, product planner, or online service provider should
plan for and look forward to in 2007:
High Definition (HD)
Nearly 47 percent of U.S. households plan to buy an HDTV
in the next 12 months.6
Consumers will be able to enjoy
HD content from a number of sources, including disk (HD
DVD* and Blu-ray*), camcorders, and broadcast. Currently,
45 percent of HDTV households receive their service from
satellite TV service providers, with terrestrial broadcasters
and cable TV operators accounting for the rest of the market
share.7
As the installed base grows, so will demand for new
HD content and applications.
Broadband Video
Having a PC connected to a broadband Internet service provides
an open platform for a variety of video distribution models,
expanding choices for consumers and creating new revenue
opportunities for content creators. Through broadband video,
it’s possible to serve eclectic content to millions of people with
diverse interests all over the world—such as fans of South
Korean soap operas or Pakistani cricket matches. Standard PC
applications such as browsers and content-protected media
players can be integrated to provide unique personalized
experiences that combine video and data delivered through the
Web. With broadband speeds in some markets exceeding 5 Mbps,
high definition-quality video can be delivered directly to a big
screen TV. Lower bandwidth alternatives include pushing content
overnight or through the use of a progressive download system.

Access Anywhere, Anytime, on Any Device
One in three (54.1 million) U.S. online adults own a portable
digital media device and more than 54 percent plan to buy a
portable entertainment device over the next year.9
A Consumer
Electronics Association (CEA) study predicts a bright future
for this category, as device and consumer interest in anytime,
anywhere access to digital information and entertainment
continues to grow.10
An important area to concentrate on is
adapting video content for each device to provide a richer
viewing experience on all form factors. This includes the
ability to stream content from one device to other networked
media devices. Also important is building a digital home around
a digital media server (such an Intel Viiv technology-based
system) that can simultaneously deliver streaming content to
multiple digital media adapters (DMAs) around a house.
Digital Memories Need Space and Protection
Digital cameras and camcorders are helping growing numbers
of people fill their gigabyte hard drives with precious memories
that should be backed up. The global market for consumer
network storage will increase from USD 305 million in 2006 to
nearly USD 1.2 billion by 2011.11
While the market for consumer
digital media backup is dominated by low-cost solutions such as
USB hard drives and CD/DVD writeable drives, Intel believes the
increasingly difficult task of managing digital media will drive
the adoption of network storage and backup techniques in the
home. Intel® Matrix RAID Technology, which facilitates mirroring
the content of one hard drive on a second hard drive, is a good
example of such a solution.
The Game is On
Shipments of gaming software and hardware in the United
States will exceed USD 12.5 billion in 2006 and sales figures
for 2007 in the interactive entertainment industry will exceed
2006 figures by 16 percent.12
Revenue from online role-
playing games is predicted to grow threefold to USD 1.1 billion
by 2008, helping the industry corner 10 percent of the global
video game market. One segment that’s giving the online
game industry a boost is massively multiplayer online role-
playing games. In the United States alone, there will be 5.2
million people subscribing to these games by 2008, generating
USD 556 million in revenue.13
By comparison, the approximate
number of people subscribed to these games in 2003 was
2.4 million, with a revenue base of USD 209 million.14
As more
people acquire multi-core platforms, games can become more
complex and 3-D worlds more realistic. More complex physics,
improved frame rates, and better responsiveness will all help
provide the experience these savvy users demand.
Home Control Makes a Simpler Home
Today there are a variety of home automation and lighting
systems available to consumers. Most are costly, single-vendor
solutions. Right now, most of these are found in upscale homes.
Intel sees opportunities for developers to popularize these
technologies by creating solutions running on PC platforms.
These solutions could give people remote control over their
home appliances and electronics—even from another time zone.
With just a laptop or Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC), a homeowner
could remotely adjust lights, sound and temperature for
comfort, adjust energy use for savings, or activate cameras for
security and safety.
Looking at 2007 and Beyond
Greater change and progress are on the way. Intel is en route to
deliver processors with dozens of cores in the next decade. Entire
cities, such as Mountain View, California, are going wireless. And
new digital devices with expanded capabilities appear each year.
It’s definitely time to connect the dots in new and exciting ways.
Future opportunities to consider
• Multi-tasking/threading. Plan on steady increases
in multi-threaded performance from Intel® Core™
processors, as well as increases in graphics
performance from Intel® chipsets, to enable real-time
3-D rendering.
• Voice recognition. Multi-core processing now gives
home PCs the processing power to run this valuable
capability simultaneously with other applications.
Imagine the market that will open up when, with a
short voice command, people can tell an Intel® Viiv™
technology-based system to sort through a music
collection for a particular song, or that they’ll be “gone
for a week” and to start “vacation lighting and heating
mode beginning Saturday morning.”
• Windows Vista* personalized media services.
Develop applications for improving organization, access,
and management of media files.

Enjoying and Sharing Content
The digital home is now in “high definition.”
Sales of HD-capable screens are ramping up
as people prepare for HDTV. At the same time, people want
more flexible access to rich and eclectic content—such as old
TV shows and rare movies. They want to time shift. And, they
want to place shift—play content in the places and on the
devices they choose.
Video content is becoming
available on the Web at a time
when consumers are demanding
higher picture quality on TV.
Most of the streaming content available on the Internet makes
for poor quality video on a large TV, particularly a high-
definition set. One way to assure picture quality is by making
video available to download rather than streaming. ATT and
TiVo* are doing just that. Time Warner Inc.’s AOL is taking a
different tack. It’s reformatting thousands of hours of content—
from music videos to old episodes of Babylon 5*—so it can be
streamed to computers and the next generation of plasma TVs
in DVD quality.
While most portable PCs are featured as “compute anywhere”
platforms, they often spend a fair amount of time in the home.
The UMPC fits this usage pattern superbly. These devices
combine the rich features and functionality of a PC (including
uncompromised Internet access and wireless connectivity)
with the convenience of a handheld. Operated through a touch
screen and small keyboard, they’re designed for primarily
information access, location services, and online entertainment.
For developers and online service providers, UMPCs represent
a new class of personal computing device that will appeal
to everyone from K-12 students to young professionals and
media-centric consumers. UMPCs will be “at home” on the
coffee table, the car seat, or the backpack.
One way to think of the consumer experience in enjoying
and sharing content is whether you want people to “lean
forward” to search and interact, or “lean back” and simply
be immersed in the experience. Consider using speech as
a way to interact when input devices might not be readily
at hand. The performance and quality of speech-prompted
applications continue to evolve. In many instances, a single
voice command can achieve a desired result faster than a
mouse, keyboard, or touch screen.
Action Items
• Architect applications to support multiple cores for
greater rendering speed and parallel environments.
Consider using the Intel® Integrated Performance
Primitives (Intel® IPP)—a library of thousands of
multi-core-ready, highly optimized software functions
such as video and audio decode/encode, image color
conversion and speech recognition. Also, analyze and
improve the performance of your application on Intel®
multi-core microprocessors with Intel® Thread Checker
and Intel® Thread Profiler.
• Immerse the consumer in high quality audio
and visual experiences. Increase the bit rate to
support full TV screen viewing. Deliver up to
Dolby 7.1* surround sound by supporting Intel®
High Definition Audio (Intel® HD Audio). Examine
providing HD quality playback using Intel mutli-
core microprocessors and advanced Intel chipset
features such as Intel® Clear Video Technology and
Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost.
• Make content available for a wide variety of uses,
such as burn to disk, synch to portable media players,
stream to network connected devices, and take on
the go with laptops. Look to the UPnP* Technology
Specifications and Digital Living Network Alliance
(DLNA*) for interoperability standards. Consider
utilizing content protection standards such as
CPRM/CPPM for burn, OMA DRM v 2.0 for PC and
portable devices and DTCP-IP for protected steams.
• Develop easy ways to enable interactions from the
couch. Support and develop remote control input and
user interface controls that can be operated from 10’
away. Make password and billing information input
easy. Simplify application installation.
• Make it easy to back up memories. Include a
scheduled or automatic backup function. Take
advantage of Intel® Matrix Storage Technology
(Intel® MST) for automatic backup to a separate
drive. Provide an Internet backup option.

Gaming
People all over the world are playing online
games in massive, global communities. Whether
it’s a simple 2-D game of bridge between four people from four
different cities, or an intensely rendered 3-D world of medieval
combat amongst hundreds of players in a dozen different
countries, these communities are growing rapidly. People want
access to these games on whatever platform they have at hand.
Casual online gaming is also
growing around the world.
People want to access these
worlds not only on their PCs, but
on their handhelds or mobile phones, even if all they can do is
simply watch what’s going on in their favorite virtual worlds.
In 2007, multi-core processors will continue enabling game
developers to separate tasks between the different cores.
Multi-core processing will give designers the freedom to
create more realistic physics and more intuitive artificial
intelligence. Running physics calculations on the CPU is the
most seamless way to integrate complex and realistic effects
into a game. Enhancements in artificial intelligence will push
the game experience toward the intelligence you expect
from a clever opponent. New input devices mimicking swords,
tennis rackets, and golf clubs will make game interaction more
realistic than ever before.
Other innovations to watch for:
• Procedural audio. Creates audio files on the fly to simulate
sounds like the audio difference in a car with the windows rolled
up or down or the sound of passing a building. With procedural
audio, you don’t need a large sound sample library any longer.
• Procedural graphics. Creates intermediate scenes on the fly,
significantly reducing the need for costly studio work.
Action Items
• Support living room gaming played with the Microsoft
Xbox 360 Controller for Windows* on TVs with varying
resolutions and aspect ratios.
• Deliver new online gaming experiences optimized
for users that might be playing on laptops on which
battery life and wireless connectivity are important.
• Use threaded physics running on multi-core processors
to create more realism in game environments and more
spectacular visual effects.
• Support in-game voice and video chat for online games.

Communication and Exchange
The PC is becoming an “always on” home
communications hub in which parents use e-mail,
instant messaging, and Voice over IP (VoIP) to keep in touch
with friends and break free of high long distance charges.
Teens spend hours instant messaging while playing games and
often while talking on their cell phones to other friends at the
same time. Over 45 percent of active Web users visit one or
more of the top 10 social networking sites—MySpace, Blogger*,
Classmates Online*, and others.15
The Web is also bringing the mall home. People no longer
have to “shop till they drop,” fighting crowds and parking.
They can shop on the Web. Retail sales online will surpass
the USD 200 billion mark in 2006, up 20 percent from
2005.16
We have barely begun to tap into the virtual
shopping experiences we could be providing online.
Everything from being able to furnish a virtual room to trying
on clothes with an accurate model of our bodies is possible.
Nor does online shopping have to be done from a traditional
PC. Imagine the experience on an Intel Viiv technology-
enabled PC with a big screen and a remote for switching
“stores.” Or, perhaps it’s a more personal experience, using
a UMPC on one’s back patio. Consumers can also set up shop
for themselves, selling goods and services and turning the
digital home into “one location serving the entire world.”
Action Items
• Think about new usages as Worldwide Interoperability
for Microwave Access (WiMAX) based networks bring
wireless connectivity to entire metropolitan areas and
fill in the gaps in Wi-Fi* coverage.
• Tap into the greater multi-tasking of today’s Intel®
Core™2 Duo processors. Allow applications to be
layered to provide more performance to multiple
applications. Include VoIP or online shopping on top of
other applications or integrate purchase opportunities
within an application.
• Provide a richer and more sophisticated shopping
experience online through 3-D images using Intel®
Graphics Media Accelerator.

Simple Home
The digital home needs to conceal complexity.
Simplified form factors, reduced component
clutter, elimination of wires, easy setup, and intuitive user
interaction are all part of the Simple Home story. The digital
home needs to help us manage our lives and devices as we
move to increase comfort and efficiency.
Potential home control
applications range from simple
remote control of lighting to
sophisticated comfort and
surveillance systems that use
many different resources in the home. The possibilities are
endless. Intel organizes applications in three categories: comfort
enhancement, energy management, and access control.
• Energy Management. You don’t have to remember to turn
on and off lights, the heat, and the air conditioning any more.
By allowing your Intel Viiv technology-enabled PC to learn
your patterns and using sensors to recognize your comings
and goings, you can save money through energy management
applications in the digital home and improve comfort. Sensors
in windows could clue furnaces and air conditioners to
shut down when the windows are opened. Drapes could
automatically close in summer when sunlight strikes sensors
or could open in winter to take advantage of solar gain. The
ability to manage energy and resources in the home such
as heating and cooling (save power when I am away), lights
(all off when I am away), and appliance operation times (I
like coffee first thing in the morning) add luxury, utility, and
simplicity to everyday living.
• Access Control. Sensors could not only detect each family
member coming and going, but could also detect a stranger
entering the home and initiate a series of events such
as turning on lights, activating a web cam, and sending a
message to your cell phone. Consider the possibilities of using
fingerprint recognition to enable access without a key so
family members never get locked out. The ability to manage
security or safety aspects of the home includes video camera
surveillance (see who is at the door or in the yard, keep watch
on the house when I’m away, monitor my elderly parents
through motion and/or video), light control (turn on all the
lights when a noise is heard), and sensors to activate these
events. Links to external devices like cell phones and laptops
enable alerts when you’re away.

Standards
and Technologies
Digital Home Standards and
Technologies
Action Items
• Mesh networking and improvements in Wi-Fi* make
it easier to set up sensors and surveillance cameras.
Consider Wake on LAN to trigger PC operations.
• Use Intel® Virtualization Technology to dedicate PC
resources to surveillance systems for managing
the security of remote properties, the safety of the
young or elderly, or simply knowing who is at the door
without getting up.
• Program Intel Viiv technology PCs and home networks
to control and schedule lighting and cooling changes.
Allow remote access to change settings manually.
• Comfort Enhancement. It is evening in the digital home
and when you enter the living room, a sensor activates a
sequence including drapes shutting, the lights adjusting to a
comfortable level, and the stereo asking you what music you’d
like to hear. You name an album or artist and the music starts.
The ability to manage comfort sources in the home such
as lights (dim for a movie), temperature (I feel cold or hot),
window coverings (I want privacy), media selection (I want to
escape), and volume control (too loud) can make homes truly
interact with their inhabitants.

Overviews
Here are key technologies for many of the usages discussed in this document. Use them
along with the tools and white papers in the accompanying DRK to give your products an
edge in the digital home market.

Intel Viiv Technology
Intel Viiv Technology. This new Intel brand represents a suite
of hardware and software that is an essential ingredient for
consumer PCs and establishes a new standard in performance
and features for digital entertainment in the home. Combined
with online services, software and peripherals, it enables consumers to better
access, share and manage their digital media. Intel Viiv technology-enabled PCs
are simplified so that consumers can instantly turn the PC on or off (after initial
boot), use an optional remote control, and more easily set up a home network to
share content throughout their homes. In addition, Intel Viiv technology-enabled
PCs provide access to a world of online movies, music, photos, games, services,
and applications—all designed to be enjoyed on a TV screen. Through Intel Viiv
technology, consumers can enjoy a high-definition entertainment experience with
Intel’s latest multi-core processors, including support for high-definition audio and
high-definition video.
For developers, some notable capabilities of Intel Viiv technology platforms are
included on the Intel Viiv Media Server. It automatically organizes content into a
content directory service (CDS) and dynamically converts files into formats that
are compatible with playback through network-attached and portable devices.
Also, the server can support conversion of digital rights management (DRM)
protected content into DTCP-IP for streaming to Intel Viiv technology-verified
network-attached devices.
Graphics
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3000
(Intel® GMA 3000). A hybrid architecture
provides higher performance, flexibility, and
power for delivering a compelling graphics and
video experience. Integrated into the Intel Graphics Memory Controller Hub
(Intel GMCH), this engine consists of a scalable array of symmetric processing
components known as execution units (EUs) which can be programmed to
dynamically process graphic or media data alike.
For consumers, the graphics architecture is optimized for enhanced 3-D with
hardware support for Microsoft DirectX* and features such as Shader Model 3.0*,
32-bit floating point compute, and hardware geometry processing for greater
realism. Intel GMA 3000 adds new video and display features to deliver a theater-
like experience though Intel® Clear Video Technology (see Media section for more
detail). It also meets Windows Vista Premium* graphics requirements.
Dual PCI Express* Interface. PCI Express Generation 2.0 x16* delivers greater
than 3.5 times the bandwidth over the traditional PCI architecture and supports
the latest high-performance graphics cards. The dual interface enables use of an
additional graphics card for extreme gaming or multimedia applications.
Media

quality with motion-estimated de-interlacing
and precise color control. Intel Clear Video
Technology allows the PC to connect to a wide
range of digital displays by supporting the
latest digital display interfaces, High-Definition
Multimedia Interface (HDMI), and all HD
formats including 720p, 1080i, and 1080p.
Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost.
New to Intel Core microarchitecture is Intel®
Advanced Digital Media Boost. This feature
allows video, speech, image, photo processing,
encryption, and other applications that use
Streaming SIMD Extension (SSE/SSE2/SSE3)
to execute these 128-bit instructions more
rapidly. These instructions are executed at
a throughput rate of one per clock cycle—
effectively doubling the speed of execution
for these instructions (on a per-clock basis)
compared with previous generations.
Intel® High
Definition
Audio. Intel®
High Definition
Audio is capable of delivering support and
sound quality for up to eight channels at
192-kHz/32-bit quality. It includes support
for multi-streaming, allowing applications to
send different audio streams to different
devices. Create an immersive gaming or media
experience using Dolby 7.1 surround sound or
use the different channels to support separate
audio streams in different parts of the home.
High-Definition Optical Disks. PCs with
support for next-generation, high-density
optical discs will allow playback of high-
definition video. Intel PC platforms are capable
of playing HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc* formats.

TV Tuner. Television tuner cards allow PCs to
receive television signals. Many tuners also act
as video capture cards, which allows them to
record television programs onto the PC’s hard
drive. With support for multiple tuners and
multi-video outputs, it is possible to offer more
advanced personal video recording solutions
that include recording a show while watching
another, picture-in-picture, and streaming
to another room. Pay TV tuners, such as the
Open Cable Uni-directional Receiver (OCUR),
allow PCs to receive high-definition premium
digital cable content.
Television and Consumer Electronics
Connectors. Audio and video connectors enable
PCs to link directly to televisions and consumer
electronics devices. Intel consumer chipsets
support analog (component video, S-video, and
composite video) and digital video outputs.
High Definition Multimedia Interface
(HDMI). HDMI Includes support for audio and
video and 5 Gb/s bandwidth. It requires HDCP
for output of protected, high-definition video.
Home Networking
Wi-Fi 802.11n. Replacing the 802.11a/b/g Wi-
Fi standards, 802.11n will increase throughput
of digital content to wireless devices
throughout the home. With connection speeds
up to as much as 600 Mbps, 802.11n makes it
much more viable to transmit video wirelessly
within the home.
Wake on LAN. Wake on LAN (and Wake on
Wireless LAN) is a technology used to wake
up networked computers using wakeup
packets. The key benefit is that consumers
can access their PCs from other PCs or
devices connected to their home networks
without having to turn on their PCs.
Wireless USB based on Ultra Widebad (UWB). Essentially a complement
technology for wired USB, wireless USB combines the high throughput of wired
USB with the convenience of wireless technology. Designed as a short-range
communication, this is not a home networking technology. Wireless USB will deliver
speeds up to 480 Mbps at three meters (and up to 110 Mbps at 10 meters) and
consume very little power. This makes it ideal for connecting PC peripherals or
wireless USB devices like digital camcorders.
Storage
Intel® Matrix Storage Technology. Intel® Matrix Storage Technology can improve the
performance of disk-intensive retrieval applications such as editing home video. By
combining from two to four drives in a RAID 0 configuration, data can be accessed on
each drive simultaneously, speeding up response time on data-intensive applications.
Also, due to drive load balancing, even RAID 1 systems can take advantage of faster
boot times and data reads.
When using two or more hard drives, users can take advantage of Intel® Matrix
Storage Manager for better protection against loss in the event of hard drive
failure and enhanced performance. Valuable digital memories are protected
against a hard drive failure when the system is configured for any one of three
fault-tolerant RAID levels: RAID 1, 5, or 10. By seamlessly storing copies of data
on one or more additional hard drives, any hard drive can fail without data loss or
system downtime.
Intel Matrix Storage Technology includes support for the Advanced Host
Controller Interface (AHCI) specification for the Serial Advanced Technology
Attachment (Serial ATA), which provides advanced features such as native

Other Technologies
Intel® 64 Architecture. Formerly known as
Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology or Intel®
EM64T, this enhancement to Intel’s
32-bit architecture supports 64-bit computing,
including enabling the processor to access larger amounts of memory. When
combined with a 64 bit OS and application software, platforms based on
command queuing (NCQ). NCQ can improve the performance for applications, such
as personal video recorders (PVRs), that require video and audio information to be
rapidly written to and from the hard drive. NCQ improves performance by allowing
the hard drive to reorder commands to optimize the efficiency of transfers.
Power Management
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology
enables real-time dynamic switching of the voltage and frequency between two
performance modes based on processor demand. This occurs by switching the
system bus ratios, core operating voltage, and core processor speeds without
resetting the system. This can enable quieter, more energy efficient systems.
Intel® Quick Resume Technology Drivers (Intel® QRTD). Intel® QRTD
provides consumer electronic-like instant on and off capabilities (after initial
boot). With Intel QRTD, scheduled background activities, such as recording a
TV show, can continue to run while the PC appears to be turned off.
an Intel processor supporting Intel 64
architecture can address more than 4 GB of
extended virtual and physical memory. By
porting multimedia applications to 64-bit
and optimizing for Intel 64 architecture,
applications can deliver richer audio and
visual experiences.
Hyper-Threading Technology
(HT Technology). HT Technology makes
a single physical processor appear to the
operating system and software as two logical
processors. The physical execution resources
are shared and the architecture state is
duplicated for the two logical processors. From
a software perspective, this means operating
systems and user programs can schedule
processes or threads to two logical processors
as they would on multiple physical processors.
Intel® Virtualization Technology. Intel®
Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) allows
a platform to run multiple operating systems
and applications in independent partitions.
With virtualization, one computer system
can function as multiple “virtual” systems. In
the future, home users will be able to create
virtual “partitions” isolating multiple user
environments, such as dedicating resources
to a PC game, productivity, and personal video
recorder-type environment, as well as improve
defenses against viruses or spyware.
Intel® Active Management Technology.
Intel® Active Management Technology
(Intel® AMT) enables remote, down-the-wire
management of out-of-band networked
systems regardless of system state. Even
with a crashed hard drive or locked operating
system, the IT technician can still access
the platform for remote asset inventory and
software management, or remote diagnostics
and recovery procedures.

Industry Standards and Initiatives
Intel is actively working with many other companies to encourage the development of
guidelines and specifications for the delivery of secure, interoperable, end-to-end content
solutions. Many of the top standards and initiatives needed to allow larger numbers of
people to participate in digital home are described here.
Networking
and Interoperability
UPnP* Technology Specifications. UPnP*
Technology Specifications are the product
of the UPnP Forum, which is comprised
of over 800 consumer electronics, PC,
and communication companies. The UPnP
architectural framework, device, and service
descriptions provide guidelines for simple and
robust peer-to-peer connectivity between PCs
and connected—wired or wireless—devices.
The UPnP protocols are designed to bring
easy-to-use, flexible, standards-based device
and service discovery and invocation to ad hoc
or unmanaged networks in the digital home.
Four UPnP specifications that content service providers and software developers
should become familiar with are:
• UPnP MediaServer and MediaRenderer. Defines a control mechanism by
which digital media is shared around the home. The UPnP AV v2 specification,
including premium content, scheduled recording, and changing renderers, will
be available for use in 2006.
• UPnP Remote Access (RA). Defines the local configuration and provisioning of
a VPN client/server solution. The architecture provides a consistent interface
for the applications to leverage the underlying VPN client/server solution. The
specification will be available by the end of 2006.
• UPnP Remote User Interface (RUI). Allows an application running on one
device (such as the PC) to send its interface to a simple display device (such
as the TV). The display device shows the interface and accepts user input and
then forwards the input back to the application for processing. This allows
complex applications to interact with the user through a simple, remote device.

• UPnP Low Power Management. Allows you to wake up networked devices
that are in a sleep or low power state.
UPnP specifications are a core component of the DLNA Interoperability Guidelines.
Digital Living Network Alliance Networked Device Interoperability
Guidelines—Expanded. These guidelines are the result of a cross-industry
effort combining the input of more than 200 consumer electronics, PC, and
communications companies from around the world. The DLNA Guidelines define
the architecture, protocols, and media formats to ensure interoperability among
consumer electronics, PCs, and mobile products that share digital content in an
Ethernet or Wi-Fi network. The DLNA Guidelines build on the device architecture
of the UPnP forum by defining minimum standards for interoperability at each
layer of the communications stack—the network physical and transport layers,
the UPnP descriptions of devices, how content is described within a UPnP AV
Content Directory Service, and the required formats that all devices must be able
to exchange. Initially focused on two core device classes—digital media server
(DMS) and digital media player (DMP)—the guidelines expanded in March 2006
to include a variety of new features and device classes, including mobile device
connectivity, Quality of Service (QoS), and printing.
Wi-Fi Simple Config. Wi-Fi Simple Config is a standard aimed at simplifying the
security setup and management of Wi-Fi networks. It will enable consumers
to register devices into their home networks using a simple PIN code or swipe
pad and then have devices securely interact with other devices in a home
network. Wi-Fi Simple Config is being standardized in the Wi-Fi Alliance. The
goal is to provide users with the assurance that their wireless networks are
protected against unauthorized access and disclosure of private information.
Intel is working with key industry players and standards groups to develop
extensibility features for Simple Config that will enable security for additional
applications to be established automatically
as the device is added to the network. For
example, a single setup operation could
simultaneously set up keys for multiple
types of networks (Wi-Fi, Wi-Net, HomePlug*,
Bluetooth*, etc.) or provide credentials for
secure remote access to home networks.
Content Protection
Copy Protection for Recordable Media
(CPRM) and Content Protection for
Prerecorded Media (CPPM). CPRM and
CPPM are specifications developed by the
4C Entity, LLC that enable innovative
protection for premium entertainment
content and flexibility in protected copying
for consumers. CPPM protects DVD-Audio
content by using an audio watermarking
technology that enables digital media players
and recorders to recognize that analog content
derived from DVD-Audio is protected and can
only be used according to the rights granted to
the user. (DVD-Audio allows multiple channels
of high-quality audio content to be placed
on a DVD-formatted disk, resulting in a high
fidelity audio enjoyment experience.) CPRM
provides a robust mechanism for recording
premium entertainment content on recordable
DVDs, Secure Digital flash cards, and other
forms of recordable media. CPRM binds
recordings to the specific blank media—such
as a DVD—on which they are recorded, thus
allowing protected content to be recorded on
a blank disk (or other media), but not allowing
the content to be then indiscriminately copied
from that disk to other blank media.
Advanced Access Content System (AACS).
Companies from the consumer electronics,
personal computing, and content creation
industries created the AACS specification
to provide content protection for high-
definition content on next-generation
optical media accessed by consumers on
PCs and consumer electronics devices. AACS
is format-neutral and provides support for
next-generation media formats, such as HD
DVD or Blu-ray. AACS differs from the Content

Scrambling System (CSS) technology on
today’s commercially produced DVDs in that
the AACS implementation of interoperable
cryptographic methods enables consumers
to legitimately save licensed and protected
copies of pre-recorded movie titles on home
media server hard drives or other authorized
media using a variety of approved content
protection schemes. Software vendors and
content service providers should license
the technology and integrate it into their
respective applications to provide access
to high-definition movies and music.
Implementing AACS in products and services
offers consumers increased manageability,
flexibility, and portability.
Digital Transmission Content Protection
over Internet Protocol (DTCP-IP). The Digital
Transmission Licensing Administrator (DTLA)
created the DTCP-IP specification to provide
an encryption protocol to protect commercial
entertainment content from non-legitimate
access while it is being transmitted from
one digital home device to another over the
digital home IP network. The DTLA ratified
the DTCP-IP v1.1 specification in February
of 2005. New DTCP-IP adopters should
implement their products and services to
this version of the specification. DTCP v1.1 is
backward compatible with DTCP-IP v1.0, but
also includes features that prevent transfers
over the public Internet while keeping the
content protected on the home network.
DTCP is the only successful implementation
of link protection that has gained broad major
studio support. Software vendors and content
service providers should take note of the DTCP
robustness rules aimed at hardening DTCP-IP
implementations to make them less vulnerable
to tampering and other non-legitimate access.
Open Mobile Alliance Digital Rights
Management Specification version 2.0
(OMA DRM 2.0). The Open Mobile Alliance
(OMA), a group comprising nearly 350
companies involved with mobile services
technology, developed OMA DRM 2.0. The
OMA DRM 2.0 Enabler Release increases
access to and protection of premium content (such as music tracks, video
clips, and games on cell phones, handhelds, and personal media players) from
unauthorized access and copying. It includes, among other new features,
enhanced security and improved support for previewing and sharing content.
High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). Intel developed HDCP, a
copy protection scheme that uses an authentication and key exchange procedure,
to eliminate the possibility of capturing content sent digitally from a source to
the display. With more than 280 adopters and 250 million products, HDCP is the
de facto market standard for protecting digital content across the Digital Video
Interface (DVI) and HDMI on home entertainment devices. Additionally, HDCP
has recently been approved to protect CSS content output over the Gigabit
Video InterFace (GVIF) used in many automotive systems. It is currently the only
specification that has received endorsement from the entertainment and industry
standards bodies for transmitting and receiving content on compliant displays
ranging from PC monitors to consumer electronic displays and transmitters, such as
set-top boxes and DVD players. A number of industry standards bodies producing
standards and protocols such as CPPM/CPRM, Broadcast Flag, DTCP, and DVD have
approved HDCP as an additional mechanism for protecting content on top of the
standards they have put in place. The HDCP specification is published, licensed, and
maintained by Digital Content Protection, LLC.
Disk Formats
HD DVD. HD DVD provides standard backwards compatibility with previous
formats, lower manufacturing cost, and consumer friendly features, making it a
great choice for high-definition content. HD DVD includes a new set of interactive
features, allowing enhanced content, navigation, and more for HD DVD movies.
HD DVD also includes networking functionality, which opens up possibilities
including downloading new trailers or updates from the Internet.
