Media Format Strategy

• Interoperability achieved by requiring specific formats – Open standards that are formally ratified by an internationally-

recognized standards organization

– IP must be licensed under reasonable, non-discriminatory terms

• Optional formats available to cover market needs– Source devices supporting an optional format must be able to convert

that content into one of the required formats
