Next session

28. März 2025

The working groups of Deutsche TV-Plattform are the heart of the association - the task forces are quasi the "engine room" of the working groups. This is where the members of the working group work in a focussed and targeted manner on topics which have been identified as particularly important or urgent in the course of the working group's work. The active involvement in the task forces is open to all members. 

Task Force DVB-I

"We create clarity about the added value of DVB-I for market participants and end customers".

Remo Vogel (oben) und Frank Heineberg, Co-Leitung Task Force DVB-I

The DVB-I Task Force has already successfully developed topic papers to explain the DVB-I standard and highlight use cases.

In stage 2, the task force is focussing on creating an implementation profile for the German market. The results of the German DVB-I pilot will be incorporated here. The implementation profile will be harmonised with the European DVB-I Common Profile in order to achieve maximum convergence, i.e. also to reduce development and testing costs for manufacturers

In addition, the further work of the DVB-I Task Force can be supplemented by the provision of test material and the organisation of showcases.

Participation in the task force is open to all participants in the German market, regardless of membership of Deutsche TV-Plattform.

Task Force Barrierefreiheit

‘Joint dialogue to improve accessibility for users’

Deutsche TV-Plattform has founded a task force on accessibility at the interface between content, platform and device. With the increasing diversification of the audiovisual media landscape, the complexity of fulfilling the promise of accessibility and inclusion is also increasing. At the same time, European and national regulations are presenting content providers, platform operators and device manufacturers with new challenges. Here, joint dialogue can help to design the transfer points between content, platform and device in such a way that accessibility can be further improved for end users.
