Binding specification for the introduction of DVB-I in the German market | Meta: V1.0.1 & V1.1.0, English
The profile defines the technical requirements for implementing DVB-I services, from service discovery and the program guide to the playback of linear and non-linear content. The specification is aimed at device manufacturers, platform operators, and broadcasters implementing DVB-I-capable end devices and services in Germany.
