Initiates NextGen TV Innovation Collaboration Initiative by Triveni Digital
In an effort to help public broadcasters navigate the transition to the next-generation broadcast television standard, Triveni Digital has launched the NextGen TV Innovation Partnership Program[1][3]. This initiative aims to address the financial challenges and opportunities presented by the ATSC 3.0 standard, offering public broadcasters access to a suite of advanced ATSC 3.0 software solutions and fostering collaboration among stations.
The program provides public broadcasters with access to Triveni Digital’s cutting-edge technology, including the GuideBuilder XM ATSC 3.0 transport encoder, StreamScope XM analyzer and monitor, ATSC 3.0 Broadcast Gateway, and Station Manager management system[2]. These solutions are designed to help broadcasters deliver enhanced video and audio capabilities, public safety communication, smart city applications, and the Broadcast Positioning System (BPS)[1].
The NextGen TV Innovation Partnership Program also establishes the NextGen TV Innovation Board, a dedicated forum for public broadcasters to share perspectives, deployment plans, and technical strategies[1][4]. By working together, stations can build a strong ecosystem to support the sector during the transition to ATSC 3.0.
Triveni Digital CEO Mark Simpson noted that the transition to ATSC 3.0 is imminent but will be financially challenging due to cuts in federal funding for public broadcasting. The program is designed to help stations overcome these funding barriers while leveraging ATSC 3.0’s advanced capabilities to better serve their local communities[1][4].
Fred Engel, from Fred Engel Technology Consulting and the Advanced Television Systems Committee, supports the new initiative, stating it lowers barriers to entry for ATSC 3.0 and fosters collaboration in the public media sector[1]. Mark Simpson also reiterated that the new technology offers a tremendous opportunity to enhance services for public broadcasters[1].
Early adopters of the program will receive special incentives, and the program is open to public broadcasters nationwide[1][3]. For more information about the program, interested parties can visit Triveni Digital's website[1]. The program aims to build the critical mass needed to advance the industry ecosystem in support of the sector, enabling public broadcasters to fully leverage this powerful technology upgrade and adopt ATSC 3.0 advancements that benefit their local communities.
