Mobile DTV Alliance broadens mandate

The Mobile DTV Alliance open industry consortium announced it will extend its work on Advanced Television System Committee mobile broadcast standard implementation guidelines and broaden its charter to include industry collaboration activities with North American broadcasters. In support of the new charter, the MDTVA released its North American Mobile TV Implementation Guidelines, which it says will establish the consortium as a primary collaboration forum between firms from various industries planning mobile TV deployments, implementations and global tests. According to the MDTVA, the three central elements of the implementation guidelines are an interoperable technical foundation that builds on the efforts of the Open Mobile Alliance, support for multiple broadcast systems under a consistent service layer and expanded content protection options with Microsoft PlayReady technology. The guidelines are based on the global Mobile Broadcast Services Enabler specification, developed to address convergent TV opportunities across access systems.


"Looking to harmonize network technologies on the service layer, our new implementation guidelines cater to DVB-H based broadcast systems today and will include ATSC-M/H based broadcast systems in the near future," said MDTVA president Walt Tamminen in a prepared statement.  "And since the guidelines are based on a global mainstream standard created by the Open Mobile Alliance, they are already being tested on a global scale by a wide variety of implementers."
