  • History of the DVB Project
    History of the DVB Project (This article was written by David Wood around 2013.) Introduction The DVB Project is an Alliance of about 200 companies, originally of European origin but now worldwide. Its objective is to agree specifications for digital media delivery systems, including broadcasting. It is an open, private sector initiative with an annual membership fee, governed by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Until late 1990, digital television broadcasting to the home was thought to be impractical and costly to implement. During 1991, broadcasters and consumer equipment manufacturers discussed how to form a concerted pan-European platform to develop digital terrestrial TV. Towards the end of that year, broadcasters, consumer electronics manufacturers and regulatory bodies came together to discuss the formation of a group that would oversee the development of digital television in Europe. This so-called European Launching Group (ELG) expanded to include the major European media interest groups, both public and private, the consumer electronics manufacturers, common carriers and regulators. It drafted the MoU establishing the rules by which this new and challenging game of collective action would be played. The concept of the MoU was a departure into unexplored territory and meant that commercial competitors needed to appreciate their common requirements and agendas. Trust and mutual respect had to be established. The MoU was signed by all ELG participants in September 1993, and the Launching Group renamed itself as the Digital Video Broadcasting Project (DVB). Development work in digital television, already underway in Europe, moved into top gear. Around this time a separate group, the Working Group on Digital Television, prepared a study of the prospects and possibilities for digital terrestrial television in Europe.

  • An Embedded Multifunctional Media System for Mobile Devices in Terrestrial DTV Relaying
    J Inf Process Syst, Vol.14, No.5, pp.1272~1285, October 2018 ISSN 1976-913X (Print) https://doi.org/10.3745/JIPS.03.0100 ISSN 2092-805X (Electronic) An Embedded Multifunctional Media System for Mobile Devices in Terrestrial DTV Relaying Jun Huang* and Haibing Yin** Abstract The paper presents a novel embedded multifunctional media sever (EMMS) for mobile devices to receive various media programs. Being different from other contemporary system research, the paper mainly studies how to design a reception solution for terrestrial digital television (DTV) on mobile devices and how to enable mobile devices can receive DTV program, enjoy video-on-demand (VOD), achieve video surveillance and relay Internet video program via local Wi-Fi simultaneously. In the system design, we integrate broadcasting-terrestrial DTV tuner, streaming media re-transmission system, VOD disk, video camera and access interface to the Internet into EMMS, which can either receive terrestrial DTV radio signals and demodulate out digital transport stream (TS), or can read streaming media bit-stream from VOD disk, surveillance camera or access interface to the Internet. The experimental results show the proposed system is stable and quality-efficient. Comparing with the other systems, the proposed system has the least packet loss rate and response time. Keywords DTV, Media Relaying, Media Server, Mobile Devices, Terrestrial Broadcasting 1. Introduction Digital broadcasting terrestrial systems, such as DVB-T [1] in European, ISDB-T in Japan and DTMB [2] in China, etc., had been built up and popularized for application in the world today. At the same time, mobile digital TV systems, such as T-DMB [3] in Korea, ISDB-T in Japan and CMMB [4] in China, had also been applied in a wide range.
