ABOUT
This website provides information and resources for those who are interested in learning about or using DVB-I, a specification developed by the DVB Project and published as a standard by ETSI.
In simple terms, DVB-I is an internet-centric mechanism to signal and discover television services, whether delivered over broadband or broadcast. DVB-I enables those services to be presented in a unified manner on any connected device – from TV sets to personal consumer devices.
For broadcasters, in particular, DVB-I enables the creation of a next-generation free-to-air experience, including a network-agnostic programme guide that can help transition linear-centric viewers into streaming (whether in IP-only homes or during broadcast switch-offs). Streaming can be used for channel-level innovation like UHD, next-gen audio, pop-up and thematic channels, etc.
See the DVB-I Timeline for an overview of how the specification has developed and progress with service deployments.
