MNITI and NERC-DTV Joint Project

Name: Russia-China Digital Television Key Technology Verification and Industrialization

Partner: MNITI （Moscow Research Television Institute，Russia）
NERC-DTV （National Engineering Research Center of DTV, China）

Objective: Based on the two countries leading technologies, jointly develop the
system technology for digital television system and establish the trial networks and new
system verification, fasten the commercialization of the technologies, to leverage the
digital television industry and services in two countries
Project Items
The joint development in Russia the experimental zone terrestrial 4K UHDTV broadcasting
for a joint test of essential technology 4K DVB-T2 on the basis technology 4K
UHDTV/DTMB, developed NERC DTV in the framework of the project 863.
The purpose: experimental testing the possibility of creating universal system 4K UHDTV
DVB-T2/DTMB for terrestrial 4K broadcasting in Russia and China and experimental testing
TV sets for both systems in real conditions of reception.
Russian Side: Source Codec System
Chinese Side: Channel Codec System, Smart Delivery System
Project Impacts
Russia and China has much similarities in broadcast industry such as the large TV users, the
big and essential public terrestrial coverage network and the dual structure of the
geographical status of the broadcast requirement. The project will help
1.Fasten
the Russia and China to adapt to the UHDTV and Hybrid service of the terrestrial
network and promote the public broadcast network development
2.Make
complementary industry and leverage the television, set top box, pad etc consumer
electronic industry and transmitter, exciter and encoder broadcast industry, and leverage
more investment of Chinese manufacturers and operators in Russia
3.To
better coordinate the spectrum between the two countries
Chinese Manufacturing
China is the biggest manufacturer in the world. In 2013, China made 1.46 billion
phones ( 80% of the world), 140 million TV shipment (54% of the world), 158
million STB shipment (80% of the world).
