digital TV A window of new opportunities
With the introduction of digital TV the viewer becomes his own director of programmes right there at home. And his own TV producer. Viewers can choose new camera angles during football matches. Or switch from one car to another in the roar of the Formula 1.
Digital TV presents a window of new opportunities for both the broadcaster and the viewer. Coding of TV programmes, Pay per view, Video on demand these are just some of the options that become possible with digital technology. And there are more on the way.
Digital Video Broadcasting owes its success to the fact that signals are both more compressed and more robust. Picture quality is superb - no more ghost images or noise. Capacity is increased many times, and it becomes possible to broadcast several programmes simultaneously on the same frequency. In short, Digital Video Broadcasting solves the capacity problems that limit us today.
With Terrestrial Digital Video Broadcasting the final obstacle preventing the spread of digital TV is removed. DVB-T renders broadcasters and viewers independent of both satellite and cable networks signals can be received by an ordinary indoor antenna. And as distinct from satellite TV, DVB-T permits signals to be distributed locally to a specific national or regional area.
