| ## 3.12\. TV Input Framework |
| |
| The [Android Television Input Framework (TIF)]( |
| http://source.android.com/devices/tv/index.html) simplifies the delivery of live |
| content to Android Television devices. TIF provides a standard API to create |
| input modules that control Android Television devices. |
| |
| If device implementations support TIF, they: |
| |
| * [C-1-1] MUST declare the platform feature `android.software.live_tv`. |
| * [C-1-2] MUST support all TIF APIs such that an application which uses |
| these APIs and the [third-party TIF-based inputs](https://source.android.com/devices/tv/index.html#third-party_input_example) |
| service can be installed and used on the device. |
