Digital Broadcasting in MediaCorp
MediaCorp Technologies has developed extensive knowledge and experience in the development, implementation, operation and maintenance of both Radio and TV transmission stations. Besides our strong foothold in analogue broadcasting, we have pioneered the rollout of digital transmission both in DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) and DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting over Terrestrial) platform. Some of the applications/services we have developed for digital broadcasting include:
EPG
The Electronic Programme Guide is the gateway to all MediaCorp interactive services. Here's where you access digital video channels, information services and games.
HDTV
HDTV has already started broadcasting in Singapore and is available on terrestrial as well as on cable TV.
Interactive TV Services
MediaCorp's suite of interactive services include Programme Associated Data applications where users can interact with a TV programme. Users get cast bios, episodic synopsis, and participate in polls and contests. Users can also access information like news and weather updates throughout the day at their convenience.
Datacasting
Datacasting service using DVB-T. Organisations and companies can have their own dedicated channels to broadcast their content. For example, a clinic can have its own dedicated health channel.
TVMobile
The world's 1st DVB-T system on a mobile platform was commissioned in 2001. It is now installed in over 1,500 buses and in food courts.
T-Commerce
Shop via the TV set. Working with merchants and payment providers, MediaCorp launched a T-commerce service as part of the Infocomm Development Authority's (IDA) Connected Homes project.
