In a world where many countries have already switched from analog to digital television, Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute HHI combines the latest video coding technologies with the world’s most advanced Digital Terrestial Television (DTT) system to open the way to future broadcast services. DVB-T2’s multiple physical layer pipes taken with Scalable Video Coding (SVC) and Multiview Video Coding (MVC) enable cost-efficient delivery of high quality HDTV and 3DTV services with wide coverage and service-specific robustness with full transparency to present-day DVB-T2 receivers.

Benefits

  • Cost-efficient distribution of high quality HD and 3D services over DVB-T2
  • Service-specific robustness with Scalable Video Coding (SVC) and Multiview Video Coding (MVC)
  • Transparency to legacy DVB-T2 receivers
  • Graceful degradation with DVB-T2 with fully seamless switching between high and low robust streams for mobile reception
  • Flexible delivery of services with DVB-T2
  • Full compatibility to existing DVB-T2 and MPEG-2 TS mechanisms
