DVB and 5G-MAG link for 5G TV services

January 26, 2022 11.54 Europe/London By Julian Clover

The DVB and the 5G Media Action Group have agreed to work together to help bring about the commercial deployment of 5G-based television services.

The two are establishing a joint task force to work on combining activities relating to the combination of 5G systems with DVB solutions. Its work will be based on the Commercial Requirements for DVB-I over 5G, developed last year by DVB and published as DVB BlueBook C100.

Chair of the DVB Project, Peter MacAvock, said: “This is another milestone in DVB’s shift to internet-centric solutions, where DVB-I service discovery and DVB-DASH streaming are core technologies. With 5G networks set to be widely deployed in the coming years, we believe DVB’s proven track record in digital television can underpin the emergence of truly universal media delivery. We see 5G-MAG as our natural partner to accelerate this important work.”

The task force will sit outside the formal structure of the two organisations and will instead be governed under a dedicated framework. Its first meeting is being held today (26 January 2022).

The initial focus of the task force will be to map use cases and commercial requirements for DVB-I over 5G into a set of deployment guidelines.

Within DVB, the recently formed technical working group on 5G-related matters, TM-5G, will coordinate the necessary updates to existing DVB specifications along with any new work arising from the activities of the task force. The TM-5G group is chaired by Frédéric Gabin of Dolby.
