supported through the Web Services infrastructure.
Following are the Web Services infrastructure features that are supported in this release:

Content Manager
The Content Manager facilitates the management of 3-screen content for session shifting. Content lists
can be posted to the Web Services interface for content addition or deletion. The provisioned content is
visible by using a web browser and entering a simple URL. The schema for the ContentList XML file is
available upon request.
Subscriber Manager
The Subscriber Manager facilitates the management of 3-screen users for session shifting. Subscriber
lists can be posted to the Web Services interface to add or delete subscribers. The provisioned
subscribers are visible by using a web browser and entering a simple URL. The schema for the
