DTT Pilot Project Launched in Serbia

The Public service broadcaster RTS, (Serbian Broadcasting Corporation) officially launched the countries first digital terrestrial pilot trial on the 10^th May 2005.

Using the DVB-T standard the pilot will provide coverage of the capital city Belgrade from a single transmitter. The transmitted multiplex will initially simulcast the three existing TV programmes RTS1, RTS2 and RTS3 as well as four radio programmes. The remaining TV slot designated RTS4 will be used for special test programmes.

These pilot transmissions will enable field measurements to confirm coverage predictions as well as provide system operational experience. Later an additional transmitter and gap-fillers will be added to the system.
