In July 2020 the Brazilian Terrestrial Television System Forum (SBTVD) has issued a Call for Proposals (CfP) for their next-generation digital TV system called TV 3.0. Fraunhofer IIS and ATEME have proposed the MPEG-H Audio system, based on the open international standard ISO/IEC 23008-3, MPEG-H 3D Audio, as a candidate technology for the Application Coding component of SBTVD TV 3.0. The submitted proposal specifies a new Application Programming Interface (API) enabling applications to make use of the nextgeneration interactivity features of the MPEG-H Audio system. This paper provides a detailed description of the proposed API, as well as the submitted JavaScript implementation, and the architecture of the prototype system. Additionally, the paper outlines the proposed evaluation process demonstrating how the MPEG-H Audio system fulfills the TV 3.0 Application Coding requirements for 3D object-based immersive audio interaction and emergency warning information delivery
