The Open IPTV Forum (OIPF) was a non-profit consortium and standards organization focused on defining and publishing open for end-to-end Internet Protocol television (IPTV) standards.[1][2][3][4] It was later joined by several others.[5][6]

Since June 2014, OIPF has been part of the Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV association, a similar industry organisation for hybrid broadcast and broadband TV services formed in 2009, which worked closely with OIPF on browser and media specifications for network-connected televisions and set-top boxes.

History

In March 2007 AT&T, Ericsson, Orange, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Siemens, Sony and Telecom Italia formed the group.[1][7][8]

In September 2010 the consortium released the second version of their specification.[9]

The HbbTV standard, which has been adopted by many broadcasters across Europe, is based on the specifications created by the Open IPTV Forum.[10]

The OIPF and HbbTV announced a joint initiative for testing and certification in 2012.[2]

In June 2014, OIPF merged with HbbTV. The two initiatives were combined under the HbbTV banner because the markets for IPTV, OTT and hybrid broadcast and broadband TV are converging.[11]
