DVB-T Adopted in Malaysia
April 6, 2007 // Published as a news service by IHS
The Malaysian government approved the adoption of the digital video broadcasting - terrestrial (DVB-T) standard for digital terrestrial television in an announcement timed to coincide with the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union Digital TV Symposium in Kuala Lumpur.
A DVB-T trial has been on air since November in Kuala Lumpur, with one multiplex operating on UHF channel 44 using the 8k mode providing five TV channels and seven radio programmes.
Malaysia's announcement comes at a time when the governments of Southeast Asian countries are considering the possibility of introducing a uniform digital broadcast standard across the region, said the DVB Project.
DVB-T was adopted in Singapore, Vietnam and Myanmar, with strong recommendations for the standard from broadcast industry groups in the Philippines and Indonesia.
With the population of Southeast Asia estimated at 560 million people, the common adoption of DVB-T would allow consumers in the region to benefit from huge economies of scale.
The DVB-T trial in Kuala Lumpur will run for one more month. Deputy Information Minister Chia Kwang Chye said the country decided to adopt the DVB standard since the initial response from the 1,000 households participating in the trial had been very positive.
"We received very positive feedback about the DVB-T trial," said Chye. "Of the 1,000 households, more than 60% said the quality of the signal ranged from good to very good. Over 88% said the picture quality improved, while 70% said the sound quality was better. These were all expected results but we didn't imagine the response to be overwhelmingly positive for the overall transmission."
Chye also said the country was expected to roll out digital transmissions in and around the capital in 2009 and eventually take it nationwide.
He also said Malaysia was keen to trial the digital video broadcasting - handheld (DVB-H) standard for mobile TV as it was felt that the response would be promising with most Malaysians owning at least one mobile phone.
The Malaysian government's Digital Task Force was also considering implementing the high-definition TV format in programming, said Chye.
