for Mobile DTV
Roundbox Server for Mobile DTV. A Box Full of Simplicity.
Future-proof and simple to deploy, the feature-rich Roundbox Server for Mobile DTV provides broadcasters everything needed to deploy standards-based program signaling all the way up to advanced Non-Real Time (NRT) services. Regardless of the solution you choose to begin with, it will be easy to deploy and simple to upgrade.
Roundbox is one of the primary authors of ATSC's Mobile DTV specification. Today, with over 75% of the Mobile DTV market, the Roundbox Server for Mobile DTV is the industry's most popular solution because it assures broadcasters simple deployment for:
Mobile DTV Program Guidance
In contrast to terrestrial TV, Mobile DTV enables stations to deliver consumers a friendlier, cable TV-like program guidance experience. The result is a more engaged mobile viewer and access to a wide variety of supplemental station content.
Mobile DTV Widgets
A pioneering aspect of Mobile DTV is its deep embrace of IP-based technologies. For stations and consumers alike, one of the most interesting of these are Non-Real Time (NRT) services also known as Mobile DTV Widgets. Widgets enable on-demand, Web-like access to station Web content such as news, weather, and traffic but leverage the reach and economics of broadcast.
Fast Time-to-Market
Stations deploying the Roundbox Server for Mobile DTV together with products from partners are often able to get up on the air in as little as 4 hours and with zero disruption to existing main channel services.
Market-leading Partnerships
Roundbox's industry-leading partnerships with Harris and others including Tribune, TitanTV and demonstrated work with Rohde & Schwarz assure broadcasters maximum flexibility and a set of relationships to guarantee long-term investment in the Mobile DTV platform.
The Roundbox Server for Mobile DTV is available in several packages with upgradable components:
