DVB-I Test Suite

Driving widespread adoption of DVB-I with the DTG DVB-I Test Suite

DTG Testing is pleased to announce the new release of DTG DVB-I Test Suite, aligned with the most recent ETSI TS 103 770 V1.2.1 (DVB BlueBook A177r6) DVB-I specification. This release includes a total of 245 test cases, an almost 50% increase compared to the previous version. New test cases have been added for all major functionalities, including LCNRange, Service Prominence, Accessibility, Direct Tuning of satellite delivered services and other relevant features.

This enhancement enables manufacturers, app developers and platform operators to ensure their DVB-I clients remain conformant with the most up-to-date DVB-I standard.

Existing licensees of the DTG DVB-I Test Suite have automatically been granted access to the upgraded version.

The availability of a robust interoperability test regime is a major consideration for platforms and service providers when selecting core technologies. As such, it is a critical factor in driving widespread adoption of DVB-I. Building on the DTG’s track record of universal deployment of DVB standards, DTG Testing has developed the DTG DVB-I Test Suite.

This market-leading online test harness is available in the cloud environment and provides reference metadata for DVB-I clients (Hybrid TVs, IP-only TV, Set-Top Boxes, Sticks, mobile devices [phones, tablets, PC/laptops] or any DVB-I applications) to test their implementation for conformance against the DVB-I specification for Service Discovery and Programme Metadata.

The DTG DVB-I Test Suite contains the metadata for all the endpoints of the DVB-I specification and provides a set of structured tests against the metadata for where the specification states the behaviour.

Partners can access the online DTG DVB-I Test Suite using their individual secured logins. Depending upon the device profiles, the test cases can be filtered to create test plans applicable for those device types.

The DTG DVB-I Test Suite also provides broadcast test streams to test hybrid devices and an online portal for logging and generating test reports. It therefore offers a complete interface, providing materials that enable developers to test with confidence, expedite development and that underpin launch confidence.

The DTG DVB-I Test Suite provides a mechanism to:

• Enable successful access to the open DVB-I device or application market (working across markets and platforms).
• Test that products and applications conform with full interoperability to the DVB-I specification.
• Provide confidence of interoperability between DVB-I services and client implementations and vice versa.
• Underpin confidence of platforms to launch services to a population of compliant receivers.
