The DTG has released D-Book 12, the organisation’s latest update to the technical specification for all digital terrestrial television products and services in the UK market.
D-Book 12.7 supports the current DTT platform, updated following the closure of the UK’s only Single Frequency Network, COM7, on channel 55 and further revising the receiver profiles in Chapter 22 to reflect the HD HbbTV baseline for all UK receivers.
Simon Fell, Chairman, DTG, said, “We’re delighted to continue delivering the only technical standard universally deployed in UK televisions. The D-Book is a great example of an industry uniting and working together to produce a single specification that provides viewers with a reliable, resilient, seamless experience. In a fragmented market, it has never been more important.
“As the UK faces economic challenges and strained home finances, digital television remains an essential part of society for education, news and even companionship. It is critical that, as an industry, we protect it.”
The D-Book is the product of the DTG Working Groups, who produce the D-Book to support the consumer electronics sector by ensuring device interoperability throughout the entire life cycle of the product. The critical set of technical specifications underpins Freeview Play, Freesat, BT TV, Now, TalkTalk TV and YouView.
