Scope

This Recommendation defines error-correction, data framing, modulation and emission methods for the second generation of digital terrestrial television broadcasting transmission systems (referred to, outside ITU-R, as a DVB-T2, ATSC 3.0, DTMB-A, or ISDB-T3 system, respectively). Second-Generation DTTB systems provide improved efficiency, increased capacity and more flexibility compared to their predecessors. Some of these systems have been developed such that they are compatible with the provisions of the GE06 Agreement. This Recommendation is intended for the digital terrestrial broadcasting transmission system, when high flexibility in the system configuration and broadcasting interactivity is of importance allowing for a wide-ranging trade off between operation under minimal C/N levels or maximum transmission capacity.
