en.Wedoany.com Reported - The German National Roundtable has taken a key step toward the implementation of the Digital Video Broadcasting-Internet (DVB-I) standard by publishing the DVB-I Book Germany. This document defines the key parameters for the standard's deployment in the German market, aiming to provide direct access to commercial and public television via streaming without the need for additional applications.

The DVB-I Roundtable brings together broadcasters, industry associations, television manufacturers, and regulatory authorities. Dr. Thorsten Schmiege, President of the Bavarian Regulatory Authority for New Media (BLM) and Chair of the DVB-I Roundtable, stated that the technology is designed to ensure the reach and discoverability of traditional broadcast content and linear television in a future-proof manner, independent of the commercial interests of individual gatekeepers.

The DVB-I Book Germany specifies the technical, regulatory, and organizational framework for deployment, allowing content providers and device manufacturers to participate under clear and non-discriminatory conditions. The document is based on the DVB-I implementation profile developed by the German TV Platform (Deutsche TV-Plattform, DTVP) in collaboration with the Roundtable and incorporating input from international experts.

Its goal is to ensure a consistent user experience and an interoperable ecosystem that meets regulatory requirements, while supporting fair competition in the German television market.
