What is DVB?

DVB (Digital Video Broadcast) is a set of standards for the digital transmission of video and audio streams, and also data transmission.

The DVB standards are maintained by the DVB Project, which is an industry-led consortium of over 260 broadcasters, manufacturers, network operators, software developers, regulatory bodies and others in over 35 countries.

DVB standards are available on the web at the ETSI Publications Download Area.

DVB has been implemented over satellite (DVB-S, DVB-S2), cable (DVB-C), terrestrial broadcasting (DVB-T), and handheld terminals (DVB-H).
