The DVB Pavilion will once again be a one-stop shop for information on the world’s leading family of technical standards for digital broadcasting. The major specifications to be highlighted in the Pavilion this year
will be the implementation and benefits of four of DVB’s most recently
developed standards: DVB-H, DVB-S2, MHP and the latest developments
in DVB-IP for IPTV.
The DVB Pavilion will also host a number of
product and technology demonstrations conducted by the following DVB
members: Fraunhofer IMK, Osmosys, ProTelevision Technologies, SIDSA,
TeamCast and Thomson.
Fraunhofer IMK is presenting
its latest solutions for mobile multimedia broadcasting based on DVB-H.
At IBC 2005 Fraunhofer IMK will unveils IPmux, a DVB-H playout solution
for IP encapsulation and transport stream multiplexing. For developers
of DVB-H terminals and for creators of mobile content and applications
IPmux gives an opportunity to have a low cost, standard compliant test
environment.
Osmosys will
be showing the world first DVB-MHP PVR solution which allows the
end-user to intuitively install, operate and manage an MHP compliant
DVR equipped receiver. Also being demonstrated is its latest range of
tools including SDK 2.1, Navigator and Tattoo which provide a complete
solution for MHP digital receiver requirements.
ProTelevision Technologies will
demonstrate the latest additions to its range of DVB-T and DVB-H
products. The demonstration includes live transmission of a DVB-H
signal from ProTelevision's pod in the DVB Pavilion to the main
ProTelevision stand (4.240). The company will exhibit its market
leading range of DVB-H and DVB-T equipment including its popular
modulators, regenerative and non-regenerative repeaters, MIP Inserters,
and a completely updated remote interface system.
SIDSA will
demonstrate its demodulator reference design platform used by partners
to prototype and verify DVB-H receiver chips. There will be a live
DVB-H broadcast of video streams from SIDSA's DVB-H IP Encapsulator
which supports variable delta-T bursts and parallel services in the
same Time Slice.
Teamcast will
display the unequalled flexibility of the DVB-H standard with its
mature family of ModulCast technical products. A live DVB-H broadcast
will be performed using the format forecast for the US market to demonstrate its full suitability for Pan European DVB-H deployment.
Thomson is showcasing IPTV solutions with
a live broadcast featuring content on demand and a broadband content
guide. Advanced features of the DVB-IP specification such as retrieving
information on programme schedules will also be demonstrated.
