The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) seeks participation in a
new Special Interest Group to address A/153 - the mobile/handheld
addition to the Advanced Television Systems Committee's (ATSC)
broadcast digital television standards in the United States.
The ATSC
is working to complete the new standard which will allow digital
television (DTV) broadcasts beyond the living room. The new capability,
called ATSC Mobile/Handheld (M/H), allows TV broadcasters to use part
of their signal to deliver services that can be reliably received by
handheld receiving units and receivers in moving vehicles.
This group will support the launch and growth of mobile digital TV
in North America by fostering industry dialogue, educational programs,
and unified messaging; and by promoting the development and use of
technical standards and best practices documents. The Special Interest
Group for ATSC M/H will discuss the fundamentals of the standard,
facilitate discussions with suppliers of technologies specified by the
standard and arrange meetings with groups such as the Open Mobile Video
Coalition (OMVC) to understand the broadcaster perspective. The OMVC
was formed by U.S. broadcasters, representing more than 800 TV
stations, to accelerate the development and rollout of mobile DTV
services.
Any CEA member company interested in participating should contact Jack Cutts at jcutts@CE.org or 703-907-7052.
