DVB Scene 59: DVB-I, native IP delivery, the metaverse, and more


You can now download the March 2022 issue of DVB Scene.

In the latest issue of DVB Scene magazine, discover how DVB-I eases the transition to truly converged media delivery, learn about the new DVB Native IP Broadcasting specification and find out why there will be a need for open standards in the metaverse.

On DVB-I, William Cooper discusses the question of service lists and the thorny issue of who should manage them; Gordon Maynard and Ranjeet Kaur explain why the success of DVB-I will rely on interop testing; Juha Joki introduces the new reference CSR (central service list registry) for DVB-I; and Emily Dubs explains how DVB-I enables an optimised hybrid delivery paradigm.

There are also articles on VVC, the latest addition to the DVB coding toolbox, on how RTL is transitioning to DVB-based targeted advertising, and on a collaborative project – called NESTED – to design a universal and energy-saving television delivery chain.
