Read more about the German DVB-I Pilot in the Services section.

Road-testing DVB-I: en route for deployment

A May 2022 webinar mainly focused on the Mediaset-led DVB-I proof of concept in Italy. Alongside a detailed update on that project there is information on the development of reference tools, including the skeleton Central Service List Registry, and planned enhancements to the DVB-I specification.

Introduction to the DVB-I spec

A December 2019 overview of the then newly finalized DVB-I service discovery specification. Presented by Peter Lanigan (TP Vision) and Paul Higgs (Huawei), who chair the commercial and technical working groups responsible for DVB-I.

Encoding and packaging for DVB-I services

While DVB-I service lists can reference services delivered via broadband and/or broadcast, the specification was developed primarily to bring the user-friendliness and robustness of traditional digital television to broadband viewers. This March 2020 webinar considers the key technologies for broadband delivery of linear television content. Presented by Rufael Mekuria (Unified Streaming), chair of the DVB TM-STREAM group.

DVB-I Service Lists & Programme Information

This webinar from April 2020 covers several technical aspects of building and using service lists in a DVB-I ecosystem. It is presented by Nicholas Frame (TP Vision).

Building a reference client for DVB-I

In this webinar (from April 2020), Juha Joki of Sofia Digital explains the approaches and design used when creating the DVB-I reference client, along with the different application models and how services are managed within the client.
