Development of a digital TV receivers test suite (original) (raw)
The deployment of digital TV in Uruguay is ongoing, following the ISDB-Tb standard. The channels allocation process was completed, and after the adoption of a testing protocol, the introduction of decoders and receivers began in early 2014. Testing their compliance with the standards is of paramount importance in order to foster migration towards it and to provide a platform to local developers. The government committed the School of Engineering and the Software Testing Centre to the elaboration of the testing protocol. This article reports the key aspects of this work: the analysis of the standards, the definition of a type approval protocol and the experience gained by applying the testing procedures. Its goal is to share the experience and contribute to the improvement of the digital TV adoption process, hopefully aiding to avoid some problems that were detected during this work, both in regulation and in devices compliance to the standards.

Some Aspects of Testing Process for Transport Streams in Digital Video Broadcasting
Computing Research Repository, 2008
This paper presents some aspects related to the DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) investigation. The basic aspects of DVB are presented, with an emphasis on DVB-T version of standard. The main purpose of this research is to analyze the way that the transmission of the transport streams is realized in case of the Terrestrial Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB-T). To accomplish this, first, Digital Video Broadcasting standard is presented, and then the main aspects of DVB testing and analysis of the transport streams are investigated. The paper presents also the results obtained using two programs designed for DVB analysis: Mosalina and TSA.
