  5. PC , mobile, tablets and … Smart-tv??

  6. History … 2010+2011: • Many different “smart tv” technologies • Philips, Sony, Yahoo widgets, Samsung • Proprietary and special development for each platform • Part of a commercial portal? • End user must install an app from an “App store” • What about open standards? • Youview? • Hbbtv => “ DR hbbtvwhitebook”

  7. Why HbbTV: • Its an open and neutral technology ETSI standard from july 2010 Nordic standard API (NorDig 28.09.2011) EBU supported • Broadcaster “friendly” • Fast and easy development: ce-html ect. • Enduser: no app install, its part of the tv channel

  8. Hbbtv Pilot 2012 Open public trial Catch-up video on demand services Similar to service on dr.dk Same content , (subset only 7 days content) More simpel navigation: TV screen and remote control Same production: metadata+videoformat Same distribution: streaming servers

  9. Hbbtv technology: Simpel concept: 1) On DRs broadcast TV channels, metadata is send on the channel, signaling an Hbbtv services. 2) TV or setup boxes supporting the standard (HBBtv) and are connected to the internet, will show a red-button icon on the tv-screen. 3) When the user actives the red-button, the TV displays a Hbbtv page from drdk with content from dr.dk and on demand video.

  10. DR HbbTVwebpage TV Content from drdk OpenHbbtvwebpage Close Hbbtvwebpage • DR nu content on tv, • Video 1Mbit, same as pc quality • Same QOS as the internet (buffering ? Etc)

  11. DR Pilot: Opentrial in 2012 • Technical test : • DRnuapplicationondifferentTVs. Can we develop ONE simple application for all Hbbtv TVs. No special fix or customization? • Interoperability workshops, how to test? • Hbbtvsignaling in networks: dvb-t, cabeletc • Video en web quality on the big screen : h264 in 1.3 mbs • Web streaming experience on tv, is “buffering” ok

  12. DR Pilot: Open trial in 2012 • User test : • Interviews with a selected usergroup • Ease of use, • Navigation with remote control • TV vs web quality • Web, hbbtv, mobile?

  13.

  15. Technical test, some results: • Yes its possible to develop one application for all Hbbtv • Fast development, very easy to make changes • Testing is very difficult: 5 tv sets (legacy models) • Minor bug fix, red button used for rec etc, exit to broadcast signal etc • Problems with H264, hinted for download • Offline page in broadcast didn’t work at first, also problem with cookies • How to open for hbbtv on Samsung TV! • No official list of hbbtvs in dk • Progressive download does not always wok … http byte range request with an open end, and DRs caching server. • Pilot continues: fix caching problem, New drdk/tvapi, internal test of Mpegdash if possible. Evaluation the need for App-server like NordijasFokus on.

  16. User survey: • Yes: • DR Hbbtv pilot is a success • Easy to view a program you missed on TV • TV when you want • No need for extra devices • You don’t have to connect pc to tv • You don’t need a PVR • But: • Must work every time , its like TV • Must be easy to use: • what is red button, • how to use fixed point navigation? • how to find content : A-z, search? • Premium content, more content!
