[26.08.2011] BBC R&D to showcase DVB-T2-Lite

DTG Staff | 26.08.2011

BBC Research & Development (R&D) will conduct its first public demonstration of DVB-T2-Lite, the new T2 profile which will enable cost reduced receiver implementations for applications such as mobile broadcasting, at the IBC show in Amsterdam on 9-13 September.

DVB-T2-Lite is the latest version of the DVB-T2 specification, the technology standard that enabled High Definition on Freeview.

The profile can be mixed with conventional T2 signals in a single multiplex, to allow separate optimisation of the individual components and also to reuse the existing broadcast transmitter infrastructure. This means that in the future the T2-Lite component could provide audiences with a live 'broadcast' TV or radio experience on their handheld devices. Using this new profile live broadcasts can be delivered to multiple audience members without major investment in the existing infrastructure.
