Dolby Digital Plus for Turkey TV standard
May 8, 2013
Dolby Digital Plus audio has been chosen as part of the minimum specification for Turkey’s second generation digital terrestrial television systems (DVB-T2) standard for HD and SD receivers.
Turkey’s Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) together with the Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) recently published the minimum requirements for receivers in DVB-T2 specifications. Dolby Digital Plus has been identified as a required element of the specification for both HD and SD functionality.
“We’re delighted to see the inclusion of Dolby Digital Plus in the Turkish DVB-T2 standard. It demonstrates the Turkish government’s drive to provide a first-class experience for all consumers and a high-efficiency solution for broadcasters,” said Fritz Deininger, Regional Director, Central Europe, Dolby Laboratories. “The adoption of the DVB-T2 standards for SD and HD broadcasts in Turkey ensures efficient use of limited spectrum. This plays a key role in transforming digital broadcasting in Turkey, and we look forward to working closely with broadcasters to deliver improved services across the region.”
