WASHINGTON, D.C. — A trio of key standards development organizations have signed a Memorandum of Understanding that establishes a formal framework for cooperation on the development, harmonization, and worldwide promotion of next-generation terrestrial broadcasting standards.
The agreement between ATSC, the domestic broadcast standards association; Sistema Brasileiro de TV Digital Terrestre (SBTVD) Forum, responsible for Brazil’s digital terrestrial television system standards; and Korea’s Telecommunications Technology Association reflects what the ATSC calls a shared commitment to strengthening global interoperability for advanced broadcasting services and to accelerating international collaboration around the evolution of ATSC 3.0 and related technologies.
The collaboration was made official last week with a signing ceremony in Seoul.
