IEC 62676-2-2:2013 specifies a compliant IP video protocol based on HTTP and REST services. Video transmission devices are often equipped with web servers that respond to HTTP requests. The HTTP response may contain XML content (for GET actions), XML response information (for SET actions), or various text/binary content (for retrieval of configuration data, etc.). REST is an approach to creating services that expose all information as resources in a uniform way. A video transmission device supporting compliance to the requirements of this standard based on HTTP and REST Services as described in this document is declared as compatible to ´IEC 62676-2 HTTP and REST interoperability.´
