IEC 62514:2024 RLV encompasses both the official IEC International Standard and its Redline version. The Redline version is only available in English and provides a straightforward method for comparing all changes between the official IEC Standard and its previous edition.
IEC 62514:2024 outlines general guidelines for the typical applications of home multimedia gateways within IP-supported home networks. This document specifies the recommended functions and services that the home multimedia gateway should support, and where appropriate, refers to existing standards in the market. For general requirements, it is anticipated that widely adopted standards and technologies will be considered by implementers. This document supplements the IEC 62481 series, which specifies a central management model in home networks supporting various interfaces on the LAN side and on the WAN side (optional). This document is applicable to home multimedia gateways in home networks or networks of similar environments. IEC 62514:2024 replaces and cancels the first edition published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) The inclusion of new multimedia processing functions and requirements that the HMG must support, including adaptive multimedia processing, audio/video remote processing, and play function enhancement, as specified in Clause 6;
b) The addition of home automation functions and requirements based on AI technologies for audio/video analysis, recognition, and alarm services, as outlined in Clause 7;
c) The inclusion of an upgrade function and requirements for the HMG, as detailed in Clause 12.
