Processing of content or additional data; Elementary server operations; Server middleware

Introduced: January 2011

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Selective content distribution, e.g. interactive television or video on demand [VOD] > Servers specifically adapted for the distribution of content, e.g. VOD servers; Operations thereof > Processing of content or additional data; Elementary server operations; Server middleware

CPC:

Selective content distribution, e.g. interactive television or video on demand [VOD] (real-time bi-directional transmission of motion video data H04N7/14 ) > Servers specifically adapted for the distribution of content, e.g. VOD servers; Operations thereof > Processing of content or additional data; Elementary server operations; Server middleware

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 12 subcodes exist in both systems.

4 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.

IPC defines codes here since 2011.
