DVB-NGH (Next Generation Handheld) - Hybrid Profile

* The DVB-NGH specifications were approved by the DVB Steering Board in 2012. Unforeseen administrative delays and editorial complications meant that they were not finally published as ETSI standards until 2022. While the DVB-NGH solution has not been deployed in the market in its own right, aspects of the specifications are referenced in other DVB solutions.

Scope

The present document describes the next generation transmission system for digital hybrid (combination of terrestrial with satellite transmissions) broadcasting to handheld terminals. It specifies the differences of the Hybrid Profile physical layer part to the physical layer part of the Base Profile ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1] from the input streams to the transmitted signals. This transmission system is intended for carrying Transport Streams or generic data streams feeding linear and non-linear applications like television, radio and data services. DVB-NGH terminals might also process DVB-T2-lite signals.
