CSA pushes for new DTT standards
February 1, 2013 10.46 Europe/London By Robert Briel
The French media regulator CSA has issued a report on the future of DTT saying that it is “necessary to take advantage of all the new technologies to further modernise terrestrial platform.”
For the short-term, the Council advises the government and parliament to fix a date to end all terrestrial MPEG2 broadcasts, in order to make way for MPEG4 only broadcasts.
The CSA proposes a date as early as 2015, because of the current widespread distribution of MPEG4 tuners in the country.
For the future, the Council said that government and parliament should introduce DVB-T2 and HVEC coding in 2020 at the very latest. Meanwhile, regulation should make inclusion of these standards compulsory for all reception equipment sold in France.
