Broadcast Driver Architecture
The Broadcast Driver Architecture (BDA) is a Microsoft standard for
Windows DDK (Driver Development Kit) and the Platform SDK
. Ideally, any BDA-compliant software should be compatible with any BDA-compliant hardware.
Applications using BDA drivers include MSN TV (formerly Web TV) for Windows (built into Windows 98 and Windows Me), Windows XP Media Center Edition, MediaPortal, GB-PVR, DVBViewer, ULENet and several such other third-party solutions.
Broadcast Driver Architecture was introduced in Windows 98 as part of the Windows Driver Model.
