(Digital Video Broadcasting) The Digital Video Broadcasting Project includes over 220 organizations in more than 30 countries worldwide. Members include broadcasters, manufacturers, network operators and regulatory bodies, committed to designing a global family of standards for the delivery of digital television. Numerous broadcast services using DVB standards are operational in Europe, North and South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. DVB systems are developed through consensus in the working groups of the Technical Module. Members of the groups are drawn from the general assembly of the project. Once standards have been published, through ETSI, they are available at a nominal cost for anyone, world-wide. The standards are based on the common MPEG-2 coding system.
