DVB welcomes three new Members
Following the announcement last month of five new Members, the DVB Project is pleased to welcome a further three Members to the organization: the Deutsche TV-Plattform, RTÉ and Service List Registry Ltd.
Read more about each and why they joined DVB below.
Deutsche TV-Plattform – or German TV Platform – is an association of over 50 members, including private and public broadcasters, streaming providers, equipment manufacturers, internet companies, infrastructure operators, service and technology providers, research institutes and universities, federal and state authorities and other companies, associations and institutions involved in digital media. Since its foundation in 1990, the goal of the registered association has been to support the introduction of digital technologies based on open standards.
“In the ever-more dynamic market for consumer electronics and display technology, adapting to the needs of local broadcasters while competing on a global scale brings major challenges and underlines the necessity of alliances and standardization processes such as those the DVB Project delivers,” said Carine Chardon, Managing Director of the Deutsche TV-Plattform.
RTÉ is the national public service media organization in Ireland, producing and distributing content on television, radio and online. Operated by RTÉ, Saorview is Ireland’s free-to-air DTT (digital terrestrial television) platform, featuring a mix of channels from RTÉ, Virgin Media Television, TG4 and Sky.
“To remain competitive in today’s rapidly changing media landscape, alignment with international standards is important for RTÉ and for Saorview. We believe we can maximize our resources by leveraging solutions like DVB-I and we hope that by contributing to DVB’s work, we can ensure everybody benefits in the longer term,” said Jim Higgins, Business Development Manager at Saorview.
Service List Registry Limited, based in London, has become a member of the DVB Project to help promote the adoption and deployment of the DVB-I standard internationally. SLR is developing a global online platform for audiovisual media service discovery at slrdb.org.
“We established the Service List Registry as an independent organization to provide a globally scalable implementation of the DVB-I specification. We look forward to our continuing work with colleagues in the DVB Project as we build out our platform,” said Dr William Cooper, CEO of Service List Registry.
