Broadcast Tech News – DVB-I specs approved

DVB, an industry consortium that develops open, interoperable technical specifications for the delivery of digital media and broadcast services, has announced the approval of its DVB-I specification by the DVB Steering Board in Geneva. The DVB-I specification aims to ensure that linear television delivered over the internet is as user-friendly and robust as a traditional broadcast television experience. It offers the possibility for linear television to be delivered to any device with a suitable internet connection and media player, including TV sets, smartphones, tablets and media streaming devices. The DVB-I specification defines DVB-I Service Lists, a means for internet-connected devices to find curated sets of linear television services delivered through broadband or broadcast mechanisms. It also defines the methods to retrieve electronic programme data for those services, which can be integrated into a single coherent offering accessed through a user interface. With the publication of the DVB BlueBook, implementers can now proceed with the development of DVB-I-enabled clients, while broadcasters and other content providers can take the necessary steps to make their services available via DVB-I. To accelerate implementation in the marketplace, DVB launched an RFP to build a reference application. It expects to demonstrate the initial results at DVB World 2020 in Valencia, Spain, Mar. 9-11. The resulting DVB-I client will be made freely available under an open source license.
