DVB-T2 to Shine at ABU Digital Broadcasting Symposium 2011
posted:
Visitors to the DVB booth (No. 22) at the exhibition can see live DVB-T2 transmissions of HD content that is received using commercially available set-top boxes.
DVB-T2 is the world’s most advanced DTT system offering higher efficiency, robustness and flexibility. It builds on the basis of DVB-T and adds new modulation, coding and error correction techniques. This results in more than a 50% transmission efficiency increase over any other DTT system in the world. This increase can be realised by either more payload, less spectrum or better service coverage. It has benefits for the consumer, the broadcaster & indeed governments. DVB-T2 is the only second-generation digital terrestrial television standard to receive an ITU Recommendation (ITU-R BT.1877).

About DVB
Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) is an industry-led consortium of over 250 broadcasters, manufacturers, network operators, software developers, regulatory bodies and others committed to designing global standards for the delivery of digital television and data services. DVB standards cover all aspects of digital television from transmission through interfacing, conditional access and interactivity for digital video, audio and data. The consortium came together in 1993 to create unity in the move towards global standardisation, interoperability and future proofing. DVB dominates the digital broadcasting environment with thousands of broadcast services around the world using DVB’s open standards. There are hundreds of manufacturers offering DVB compliant equipment. To date there are over half a billion DVB receivers shipped worldwide. DVB standards are also widely used for other non-broadcasting applications such as data on the move and high-bandwidth Internet over the air.
