introduction in Ukraine of a new broadcasting format offers opportunities not only to increase the number of sources of information, but also ways to get
What may surprise us regular TV? It turns out that his possibilities are virtually endless. With the introduction of digital terrestrial television T2, we entered the era of new technology and new opportunities. Today it is the ability to watch free TV channel 32 in excellent quality. And in the near future – record your favorite programs, order movies, watch TV, listen to digital radio, or even read the e-paper.
Step to Europe
It’s hard to believe, but the 21 th century, when the number of active SIM cards of mobile operators surely exceeds the number of population (including infants and the elderly), the luxury watch cable or satellite TV with hundreds of channels can afford no more than 30% Ukraine’s population.
majority of Ukrainians living in rural areas and small towns in the outback, watching Live TV 3.5, being limited in information. And with no prospects to expand the possibility of receiving a signal within a modest budget: the satellite dish is not everyone can afford, and cable channels on its network of regional centers, as a rule, does not develop.
Fortunately, more recently, to all the above, you can add the verb in the past tense. Restrictions related to the technical parameters of analog broadcasting thing of the past. If earlier in many regions of Ukraine viewers could watch no more than 5 channels, with the advent of digital television in the majority of the audience an opportunity to see 32 at once essential channel of different clusters and at the same time – for free. It is expressly provided the license of the National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting.
How did Ukraine’s transition to digital television?
First, the network built quickly. In just one year the network transmitters installed by “Zeonbud” signal covered the territory, which is home to 95% of the population, says CEO Victor Galich. The “spider’s web” of 664 digital stations from transmitting antennas that are mounted on telemachtah at an altitude of 100 to 300 meters, has become one of the largest in Europe. Stations are equipped with high-quality and reliable equipment, world manufacturers, such as the German company Rohde & Schwarz, KATHREIN, SPINNER and American Andrew, Harris. “The network has demanded $ 134 million of private investment – and not a penny of public money for its construction does not matter. Although in many countries, such projects are funded by the taxpayers again. With all these indicators in the telecommunications exhibition IBC-2012 in Amsterdam experience of Ukraine on the transition to “figure” was recognized as the most dynamic in the world, “- he said.
Second, we immediately began to be used to broadcast a digital signal format DVB-T2 – the most modern in existence today. While many European countries that have passed a longer path (for some it reached 10-12 years old), first introduced less than perfect form “T” (from the English. Terrestrial – above ground), and only now, together with Ukraine, gradually moving by “T2».
Third, Ukraine ahead of many European countries in the number of free digital channels that are available to viewers in a minimum package. If we have in any of the regions can receive 32 TV channels (28 national and four regional), then, for example, Hungary was limited to only seven free nationwide digital channels, Sweden – eleven. Only a portion of the channels are completely free of the 25 digital programs in the Netherlands. A similar situation with Ukraine with a “free” channels only in France and Poland. Here, “a figure” are 29 and 30 live channels, respectively.
should be emphasized that our country immediately went on socially-oriented ways of providing the widest possible list of free channels on the air. While in some countries, such as Britain and Spain, “digicam” first tried to sell the audience at all programs, not even leaving a free state channels. Over time, due to unrest in the society of this approach have decided to give up.
Extensive digital TV
In July 2015, under an international treaty “Geneva 2006″, Ukraine should completely abandon the analog TV. Today, many European countries have already fulfilled this condition. Exclusively in digital format television work in Turkey, Norway, Switzerland, as well as almost all EU countries, except Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary. The transition was gradual almost everywhere: from analog to gradually cut off for several regions. Most likely, it will be the same in Ukraine.
But in order to begin this process, it is necessary that the majority of viewers were able to receive the digital signal. For this purpose there is a special decoder (set-top-box, receiver), who “teach” even the old generation of analog TV to receive digital TV, and there is no need for a new antenna, which is also very convenient. The installation of such equipment as a set – the usual European practice. As in the European Union, in Ukraine it uses standard equipment, which can be purchased at any electronics store and connect even without the help of an outside expert.
In Ukraine, some 25 million television viewers take from the air, including more than 8 million already connected to the TV “T2″. In our country, provided government support for low-income families, according to the head of the committee of the State Committee of Ukraine Alexander Kurdinovicha already about 800 thousand families received free digital receivers at the expense of the state budget. According to the forecast of the State Committee, 2015 receivers will be provided with all the families in need.
Another distinct advantage of technology DVB-T2 is that watching free digital TV channels is not limited to its functionality. With the development of a network of channels can be expanded at the expense of the pay packages, which will include, for example, sports, educational, scientific programs. In this channel 32 will always be free. You can record your favorite programs for delayed viewing on technology push VOD, order movies from network servers, watch TV, listen to digital radio. “Our engineers are constantly working on the development of technical capabilities and network monitor all technological innovations. I can assure television viewers “T2″ that awaits them ahead of many more pleasant surprises. There is an idea to provide viewers and genre TV guide, and a daily electronic newspaper on the TV screen. Perhaps zamahnemsya and mobile TV, which will allow reception of programs on mobile phones, tablets, “- said Viktor Galich. According to him, the development of solutions and value-added services take the National Council for Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine.
over the next 2-5 years, we have to learn and appreciate all the real possibilities of the digital network “T2″. It is possible that it will become the basis for a global technological breakthroughs of our country, not only in Europe, but also globally.
