SINGAPORE, 29 April 2014 – HD (high definition) viewing will soon be a technology of the past, with the proliferation of 4K coming Asia’s way. 4K, also commonly known as ultra-high definition (UHD), is an evolved standard that greatly surpasses HD, bearing a minimum pixel count of 3840 x 2160 compared to the latter’s standard of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Naturally, 4K brings to viewers sharper, higher clarity images and videos.

Visitors to the DVB booth (5L5-02) at this year's Broadcast Asia can see first hand the groundbreaking demo of DVB-T2 delivering a wide range of resolutions from UHD down to the smaller screen resolutions for mobile devices. The demonstration underlines the power and flexibility of this second-generation standard.

Using the DVB-T2 terrestrial transmission standard, a UHD service utilizing HEVC encoding and a mobile service are being delivered in a single 8 MHz channel. This is enabled through the use of Multiple PLPs (Physical Layer Pipes), a feature of DVB-T2 that allows for the separate adjustment of the robustness of each delivered service within a channel to meet the required reception conditions.

The UHD service will be received and displayed on a 55" TV from Sony with built-in HEVC decoder. UHD as well as mobile content has been supplied and encoded by Envivio, The mobile service will be received on a mobile phone with an embedded DVB-T2 receiver.

Also available on the DVB stand will be information on the latest member to the DVB family of standards, the DVB-S2X specification. Visitors will be able to find out about the rapid take-up of these important new extensions to the DVB-S2 standard.

Those that are registered for the conference will be able to attend the Broadcast and Engineering session on day two of the conference. This session will be entirely devoted to DVB in Asia and advanced broadcast solutions. Delegates will hear presentations given by DVB experts that will provide updates on the latest developments in DVB standards and will acquire in-depth knowledge on such DVB standards as DVB-S2X, DVB-T2 and DVB-CI Plus, to name a few. In addition there will be a panel discussion on "DTT Experiences & What are the Key Opportunities". Full conference details can be found on the Broadcast Asia 2014 website.
