Overview: Broadcast standards
Digital television standards define signal, service and delivery conventions for particular broadcast systems.
ATSC, DVB, ISDB-T and DTMB describe different broadcast families. Their definitions affect how a compatible tuner and receiver obtain programmes from the signal. This group gives each family its own context before the channel and guide information carried with it is interpreted.
Digital television standards
Digital television standards define interoperable transmission, transport, signaling and media relationships whose supported combination determines a receiving and playback route.ATSC family
ATSC generations define distinct broadcast and service arrangements that require corresponding receiver support.DVB family
DVB delivery standards adapt digital television to terrestrial, cable or satellite transmission conditions.ISDB-T
ISDB-T defines segmented terrestrial transmission with layer/configuration relationships, while regional media profiles and the selected service determine later playback requirements.DTMB
DTMB is a terrestrial television transmission system defined by GB 20600, with its specific framing, coding and modulation required before service media can be recovered.
