Independent Danish DTT Gatekeeper • Since 2006 performing tests and operating
terrestrial digital radio & television in Copenhagen
• Currently broadcasting 3 different DTT mux in Copenhagen, signals can be received by more than 700,000 households, representing 28% of all Danish households.

DVB-T2 | DVB Worldwide • DVB-T/ -T2 have been adopted or deployed in 150 countries.
DVB-T2 has been deployed in 28 countries and adopted in 40.
• Note that the Africa & Asia countries goes directly from analog TV to DVB-T2
Pag
e12
DVB-T2 | Improved robustness • The commercial focus on DVB-T2 was originally mainly on
stationary reception, but DVB-T2 is also designed to work well in mobile/handheld conditions
• DVB-T lacks time interleaving and so it is sensitive to impulsive interference (e.g. from sparks) and the changes in the redio propagation experienced in mobile reception (e.g. caused by path obstructions, 'shadows' )
• DVB-T2 has support for deep time interleaving and longer symbol period, which together radically improves the robustness against impulsive interference
Pag
e13
DVB-T2 | Advantages with multiple PLPs
• Possibility to reach different kinds of receivers and reception conditions with a single RF signal e.g. HDTV to roof-top directional antennas in PLPs
Mobile receivers with robust PLPs
• Possibility to prioritize robustness for selected ”high-priority” services -> prioritized services (e.g. public service) will ”last longer” in bad reception conditions
• Dynamic scheduling PLP -> statistical multiplexing over several PLPs is possible
• PLPs may be sent in a bursty way -> allows for power saving in mobile devices (“time slicing”)
Pag
e14
DVB-T2 | New Bandwidth 1.7 MHz • DVB-T2 has additional three bandwidth 1.7, 5 & 10 MHz
beside 6, 7 & 8 MHz.
• 1.7 MHz is the same bandwidth that Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) standard uses in VHF band III and L-band
In Europe:

T2 Lite | New profile in DVB-T2 v1.3.1
• T2-Lite is a new ”light” version of DVB-T2 to enhance mobile performance.
• T2-Lite is mainly a subset of DVB-T2, except two new code rates for robustness 1/3 and 2/5.
• Several other features, including low bitrates (peaking at 4Mbps per PLP) and short forward error correction frames (16k), co-exist with these coding rates to collectively offer a sharp reduction in receiver power use.
• The benefit is less demand on CPU performance and power, making it highly suitable for tablets and smartphones already on the market today.
Pag
e18
T2 Lite | T2-Base-Lite profile
• T2-Base-Lite is a perfect DVB-T2 profile for digital radio & mobile-TV
• L1 pre-signaling "T2_BASE_LITE"
A mode in which this bit is set to ‘1’ will therefore be suitable for reception by both T2-base-only and T2-lite-only receivers.
• The significance of T2-Base-Lite for broadcasters and DTT operator is that remove the hurdles to commercial success with mobile DTT broadcasting without the cost for building a dedicated network for only mobile TV.
Pag
e19
DTT | T2 Lite for mobile broadcast
Pag
e20
DTT | Background
• DVB-H was never a success – No business case
• Very few DVB-H receivers in the market
• No demand for watching TV on a tiny cell phone screen (QVGA, 320 x 240) - and certainly not if you had to pay for it
Pag
e21
DTT | Bigger mobile screens -new opportunities • With the increasing popularity of iPads since 2010 and other
tablets & smartphone, the demand for linear TV viewing on “smaller” screens has arrived.
• The challenge with tablets and smartphones are that they have a screen size of 1080p or 2K
• The bandwidth necessary for unicast mobile TV can be a challenge for mobile operators - especially during major sporting events.
• Here, T2-Lite (optionally in combination with HEVC) provides an efficient new platform for broadcasting SD/HD TV for mobile device.

• Remember to use silicon tuners, which are compliant with DVB-T2 standard, which supports 1,7, 5, 6, 7 & 8 MHz BW.
• Don’t use old outdated “DVB-T1” silicon tuners, which only supports 6, 7 and 8 MHz.
