German organizations (BR) and the Institut für
Rundfunktechnik (IRT) invited manufacturers of televisions testing HEVC
encoders and DVB-T2 in Munich, on 8-10 December 2014. Manufacturers have the
opportunity to test the HEVC with various image formats such as 720p / 50,
1080p / 50 or 1080i / 25, with different rates - from 2.5 to 4 Mbit / s.
These tests are part of comprehensive
preparation for the transition to Germany for higher compression standard in
order to make better use of the available bandwidth. In addition, in 2017 in
Germany, the new standard will be implemented DVB-T2 . Currently in the Munich
area are being tested this technology.
HEVC codec is a more efficient successor of
the MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 codecs, allowing terrestrial broadcasting in HDTV and
Ultra HDTV resolution, provides superior video quality and up to twice the data
compression as the previous standard.
DVB-T2 HEVC set-top box (STB) is meant to
be the mainstream in the future of STB market. As a leading STB supplier in
China, SDMC launched the first OTT + DVB-T2 HEVC STB DV7904-T2. It
combines DVB STB and OTT STB, and it supports HEVC decoding. It is designed for
telecom operators and broadcast operators, as it supports HbbTV, DRM and CAS.
