DVB issues RfP on DVB-I app for Android and HbbTV

September 30, 2019 10.28 Europe/London By Julian Clover

A Request for Proposals (RfP) has been issued by the DVB Project for the development and validation of a reference application for DVB-I.

The new DVB specification is designed to ensure linear television services delivered over the internet are as user-friendly and robust as traditional broadcast television. Its envisaged that DVB-I will become the standard way to integrate several live/linear television services into a single service offering, regardless of whether the services themselves are delivered over broadband (DVB-DASH) or broadcast.

The RfP calls for the delivery of HTML5 and JavaScript code that can run both on Android devices (either as a WebView-based application or a Progressive Web App) and on HbbTV devices. It wants HbbTV to run as both an HbbTV Operator Application and a regular HbbTV broadcast-related app.

The DVB says its IBC exhibit saw a “high level of interest in DVB-I”.

Three DVB-I client applications were shown, two running on Android and one on HbbTV.
