NCL and Ginga are part of ISDB standards and also of ITU-T Recommendations for IPTV services. The main contribution of this paper is the seamless way NCL integrates imperative and declarative language paradigms with no intrusion, maintaining a clear limit between embedded objects, independent of their coding content, and defining a behavior model that avoids side effects from one paradigm use to another.
