Sydney- Broadcast transmission services provider Broadcast Australia is hosting a new trial of digital video broadcasting to handheld (DVB-H) mobile TV services at its Gore Hill site in Sydney. The three-month trial which began May 7 is a collaboration between Broadcast Australia, digital video solutions group Thomson Grass Valley and digital content protection specialist Irdeto, the trial license-holder. Broadcast Australia provides the RF transmission infrastructure for the trial broadcast on UHF channel 29, as well as systems integration, multiplexing and network operations expertise. The DVB-H head-end is from Thomson Grass Valley, and Irdeto supplies an OSF-compliant digital security system to provide digital content and access protection. The three companies integrated the system which is managed via Broadcast Australia’s Network Operations Centre (NOC). Currently, participants in the trial have access to five mobile TV channels: Australian public service channels ABC, ABC2, and SBS, plus CNN and Boomerang. Scheduled to end on July 31, the trial’s offerings are subjected to changes.
