DVB Scene 53: DVB-I, DVB-T2, video codecs and more
You can now download the March 2019 issue of DVB Scene magazine. The cover story highlights DVB-I, with a progress report from the CM-I chair Peter Lanigan on pages 8-9.
“In terms of making DVB-I functionally equivalent to DVB-T, C and S, the major missing piece from a standards perspective is a service layer. This is used to signal the services and content that are available, meaning the information used by a TV set (or smartphone, tablet, app, etc.) to populate the channel list and the electronic programme guide.”
