S/W specification
The Client interoperates with the DIRECTV Home Media Servers such as HR34 and HR44 which are, in the same way, an RVU Protocol Specification compliant server with extensions and refinements specific to DIRECTV.
The client extensions and refinements are designed to ensure that DIRECTV users experience familiar and intuitive operation of the client within the Home Media Server environment. The Clients display live and recorded TV, interactive applications, DIRECTV Cinema and Broadband applications content on a local TV. All tuning, recording, and most user interface screens displayed on the client’s local TV are generated on the Home Media Server using the RVU Remote User Interface (RUI) sub-protocol.
User interface screens generated and displayed locally by the\ clients include capabilities provided locally by most consumer electronic devices such as, setup for closed captioning, video formats, remote control, graphics preferences and client specific setup screens where applicable. User interface screens and OSDs generated locally by the client use the RVU Local User Interface (LUI) sub-protocol.
