Tokyo asks Manila to use its digital TV format

MANILA, Philippines - Tokyo asked Manila to adopt Japan's digital television system, offering financial and technical assistance to make the deal sweeter.

Japanese officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) held a seminar and exhibition in Ortigas Center, Pasig City on Thursday to promote the advantages of the Japan's Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial (ISDB-T) over European and American Systems.

The ISDB-T system was able to attract more users faster in its five-year existence at 97.7 million, compared to the 79.1-million users of the American standard (ATSC) and Europe DVB-T's 81 million, Hideo Fuseda, MIC’s director for digital broadcasting technology, told reporters.

Both the American and the European platforms had been in existence for 10 years now.

“We are willing to support DTV (digital TV) implementation in the Philippines. We could provide financial and technical assistance," said Fuseda.

Digital TV is a telecommunication system for broadcasting and receiving digital sound and video signals that needs to be viewed through a specially designed and more advanced television equipment than traditional sets.

Japan's ISDB-T had excellent reception, offering more channels, Fuseda claimed.

Under the system, mobile and fixed broadcasting are available in one channel and a single transmitter, unlike European and American systems which require separate transmitters for fixed and mobile devices.

Moreover, the Japanese system has an emergency warning broadcasting system, helping warn citizens of any disaster in fixed devices or televisions at home. Its American and European counterparts have no such features.

Besides Japan, Brazil has also adopted the ISDB-T.

Using Japan’s digital TV system to benefit networks

Fuseda also dispelled notions that the ISDB-T would be more expensive than the American and the European platforms.

He said television networks will benefit because they do not need to pay any commission/usage charge for ISDB-T and may capture the mobile TV market without additional investment. The platform also offers new business opportunities through interactivity.

Meanwhile, those who are still using analog TV sets will only need to buy a 30-dollar Set Top Box to be able to adapt into the digital TV system.

The set-top box (STB) is a device that connects to analog television to transmit the channel from digital TV. The STB also has the ability to manage many channels in one bandwidth and carry electronic program guides and interactive programs.

There are more than 120 countries which have adopted the digital TV platform.

The National Telecommunications Commission is expected to come out with a decision which system to adapt into the migration to digital TV within the year.

The full migration is targeted to 2015. By 2010, the NTC will no longer entertain applications for analog TV.

The agency said the Technical Working Group's report has been submitted to NTC Commissioners.

The NTC added that with the anticipated features of the digital TV platform, analog TV technology will soon be rendered obsolete, prompting manufacturers to eventually stop producing analog TV receivers.

The NTC will also ask manufacturers to produce digital-ready TV. - GMANews.TV
