Abstract
To promote the development and deployment of broadband audio visual services, DAVIC has been working on specifying the standards and interfaces for end-to-end systems providing services to consumers over broadband networks. DAVIC specifies tools to provide these broadband services. Since the tools specified by DAVIC are standardized/developed by independent organizations, it is important to verify that the complete system works when these tools are used together. An interoperability event was organized by Columbia University for this very purpose. In this paper we first introduce DAVIC and DAVIC systems and then give details of the interoperability event: the motivation, goals, and results.
