Demonstrations of both DVB-I and DVB-NIP will be a part of the DVB booth when it makes a return to IBC next month.
The organisation says that with both DVB-I and DVB Native IP moving closer to commercial deployment DVB Members have shown “great enthusiasm” to participate in demos.
Broadcasters in both Germany and Italy are preparing the ground for major pilots of DVB-I, with the aim of showing how it can underpin the transition from broadcast to broadband-centred media distribution. Multiple DVB-I clients and services will be shown, including a live feed from the forthcoming German DVB-I Pilot.
A second group of demo partners are collaborating to demonstrate the benefits of DVB’s recently completed solution for native IP broadcasting, DVB-NIP. The new solution creates an opportunity for standards-based delivery of OTT services over satellite, enabling service providers and telcos to deliver content to any device in any location.
Initial use cases are likely to include feeding public hotspots or transportation as well as delivering educational content, especially to remote areas.
DVB is also collaborating with the IEEE Broadcast Technology Society for a special conference session with DVB Chair, Peter MacAvock, and Head of Technology, Emily Dubs, alongside industry experts active in DVB’s work.
The session will run on Sunday 11 September, from 14:30 to 17:30 in Room E102 of Amsterdam RAI.
