A fully integrated digital TV design conforms to the MHEG-5 UK Profile Specification v1.06, a requirement necessary to achieve the Digital Switchover Certification Mark

Strategy and Technology and iKonvergenz have released a fully integrated digital TV (IDTV) solution that conforms to the MHEG-5 UK Profile Specification v1.06, a requirement necessary to achieve the Digital Switchover Certification Mark. This production-ready IDTV solution allows TV manufacturers to address and mass produce immediately for the DVB-T market, especially in the UK.

Digital UK launched a campaign to increase public awareness as UK's television broadcast switches from analogue to digital transmission.

The Digital tick certification scheme allows consumers to identify televisions that are designed to work before, during and after the digital switchover.

From 1st September 2006, the minimum criterion for TV manufacturers to attain the certification mark in the UK is the UK Profile of MHEG-5 v1.06 as determined by the corresponding DTG MHEG test suite.

'We selected S and T's MHEG-5 engine for our integration because the RedKey software is fully compliant with the v1.06 profile', said Torsten Frings, Managing Director of iKonvergenz.

'Combined with iKonvergenz's experience and know-how in solution integration, we are able to offer TV manufacturers an IDTV solution that has the Digital tick Certification Mark'.

'We are pleased to partner iKonvergenz because of their expertise in digital TVs', commented, Paul Daly, General Manager of Strategy and Technology's Client Systems Division.

'iKonvergenz's ability to provide complete production-ready IDTV solution brings RedKey MHEG-5 engine to the next level where TV makers can immediately adopt and manufacture'.

The IDTV solution by iKonvergenz and S and T is developed for any TV manufacturer that wants to address the DVB-T market, especially in the UK, immediately with minimal investment, time and resources.
