DVB-H is the product of DVB’s process of analysing commercial requirements and producing an open standard to meet these. Based on DVB-T, but operating in the IP environment and with special features for the battery-powered, handheld market, DVB-H is flexible and future-proof. Acting as a complement to existing broadcasting technologies such as DVB-S, DVB-C and DVB-T, DVB-H uses advanced audio and video coding technologies such as H.264 to expand the reach of standard broadcasting services. MobileTV is seen as a key driver for new and more complex mobile services and handsets and DVB-H is a key enabling technology.. In the past, it would have been reasonable to expert proprietary technologies to dominate the early stages of a new market. DVB-H has changed this – not only does it present an ideal solution for the mobile TV market, but it is completely open.
