The DTG Group has published the latest update to its D-Book, the reference to digital terrestrial television products and services in the UK market.
With the latest HbbTV specification recently published by ETSI, D-Book 12.8 aligns the interactive application functionality requirements and adds HbbTV test suite guidance for manufacturers.
D-Book 12.8 also includes updates in RF chapters to complete edits due to the recent 700 MHz clearance programme, as well as clarifying a target for testing RF Echoes.
DTG CEO Richard Lindsay-Davies said, “Co-created with industry and universally deployed, the D-Book draws upon the highest quality research, evidence and technical knowledge from industry to enrich lives and drive economic growth. It provides the unique foundation of common technology to every TV household that is critical to ensuring the UK digital television can continue to reach its full potential.
The D-Book is essential for interoperability across the DTT system, given that Freeview Play, Freesat, BT TV, Now, TalkTalk TV and YouView all rely on the network.
