Overview

IEC 62216 specifies both Standard Definition and High Definition receivers for the DVB-T system and is directed at both broadcasters as well as receiver manufacturers. The objective is to define how to provide broadcasts that are understood by all receivers and enable receivers to provide good facilities to their users and which behaviour is required from receivers to work well with these broadcasts and to be attractive to consumers. This standard primarily addresses terrestrial delivery of digital transmissions. The standard primarily addresses deployment in countries that use European Latin script based languages. Two types of systems are considered: - standard systems where services are all SD and use well-established codecs. Standard receivers which can decode standard services are suitable for these systems. - advanced systems where some services may use advanced codecs, for example, to provide HD video. Advanced receivers which can decode advanced services are suitable for these systems. The responsible committee is K 742 "Audio-, Video- und Multimediasysteme, -geräte und -komponenten" ("Audio, video and multimedia systems, equipment and components") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
