DVB Scene 57: Targeted Advertising, DVB-I, new video codecs, and more
You can now download the March 2021 issue of DVB Scene magazine.
The cover of the latest issue of DVB Scene celebrates the availability of a complete standards-based solution for Targeted Advertising, thanks to the specifications from DVB and HbbTV.
An article from Stefano Braghieri of Mediaset (page 10) describes the Italian broadcaster’s tests to prepare for the market launch of its implementation of DVB-TA and HbbTV-TA. Meanwhile, Paola Colombo of Mediaset’s advertising agency Publitalia ’80 outlines some of the new opportunities now open to advertisers (page 12).
You can find progress reports on key DVB work items such as Native IP and video codecs, along with updates on DVB-I and the new DVB-HB specification.
Finally, those who have been involved with DVB since its earliest days will enjoy reading tales from the development of SimulCrypt, as shared by some of the people who led that groundbreaking work, recently honoured with an Emmy Award.
