(project leader Vladimir Yakush) on August 5 published an article that thematically continues the presentation on July 31 on the same topic "Belarusian News": We are pleased to reproduce the publication of an authoritative colleague on a relevant topic.
The full transition of Belarusian television to digital broadcasting (DVB-T) will take place in 5 and a half years, but many viewers are already wondering whether they will have to change their old TVs and buy new ones - digital ones.
Why does he even need this transition to digital?
Digital television has many advantages over analog (conventional). The main thing is the high quality of the picture and sound. Digital TV also provides the ability to transmit high definition images (HDTV) with multichannel soundtrack (like in a movie theater).
Digital television, unlike analog, is almost unaffected by interference. Where "ordinary" TV is "caught" badly, with interference, the TV will receive a digital signal in excellent quality. In this case, reliable signal reception is possible even on the lower floors of buildings. The main thing is that the antenna can catch at least the reflected signal. Line of sight of the transmission tower is not required. These qualities make digital broadcasting ideal for remote regions and villages.
The digital broadcasting format allows you to broadcast several programs on one channel. If “analogue” is one program per channel at the same time, then the MPEG-4 format, adopted for digital broadcasting in Belarus, is up to 8 programs on each of them.
In Europe, 7 countries have already implemented a complete abandonment of analogue broadcasting in favor of digital, and their number is growing all the time.
Belarus is focused on the MPEG-4 (newer) compression format, while European countries are still on MPEG-2. The fact is that the process of digital television development in the European Union began much earlier, and at that time they had no alternative - only MPEG-2. However, in any case, they will have to switch to MPEG-4 (or another format that was relevant at that time), since MPEG-2 does not allow broadcasting HDTV high definition TV.
In Minsk, the MPEG-2 format has been used in test mode since 2005 and until recently - to date, the transmitters have already been removed. However, already 2 years after the start of the experimental broadcast, the Ministry of Communications decided to organize broadcasting in the more relevant MPEG-4 format, the full transition to which will take place in December 2015.
Having the opportunity to move “behind the locomotive”, Belarus found itself in a more advantageous position, focusing on more technological and more modern standards.
Is it possible to watch digital TV in Belarus today?
Currently, digital broadcasting in the MPEG-4 format is already underway in Belarus. True, so far in a very "truncated form".
Today there are 14 towers on the territory of the republic, and 97 are needed for "full-fledged" broadcasting.
In "digital", 8 programs are broadcast in parallel to the analog signal - this, of course, is not enough to satisfy the needs of the modern viewer. Until 2015, digital broadcasting will develop gradually, replacing analogue.
Those who want to try digital TV already have this opportunity. There are a number of receivers on the market, costing 80-100 dollars.
Can you buy a TV that accepts a digital signal today?
It is easy to find TVs equipped with a digital tuner on sale in Belarus. However, when a manufacturer mentions the presence of a digital tuner in a particular model, in the overwhelming majority of cases he means MPEG-2 - a standard currently operating in most Western European countries, but not relevant today for Belarus.
This applies to both foreign manufacturers Philips, Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, and Horizont.
Horizont, unlike foreign manufacturers, will be able to offer the widest model line of TVs and set-top boxes even before the full transition of Belarusian television to a new broadcasting format, including options that can satisfy both the most demanding and the most economical buyers. In a few years, the Belarusian manufacturer will produce exclusively digital and “hybrid” analog-digital models.
In the meantime, MPEG-4 is a high cost of components that can have a significant impact on the price of a product. Now this "option" to the TV is comparable in cost to the price of an average CRT TV.
However, it is already possible to predict a gradual decrease in the cost of the corresponding components.
Do you have to throw your old TV away?
Only if it is a very old TV set (15–20 years old) - tube receivers have long been a dump.
Do not be afraid to buy analog TVs today, looking into the rather distant 2015. The transition to digital in Belarus will be gradual.
And by that time, most likely, you just want to exchange the TV you bought today for a more modern model, which will include an MPEG-4 decoder.
And even if not, there will be no problems. With the final transition of television broadcasting to digital format in Belarus, you will only have to buy a set-top box for your TV, the price of which by that time, according to forecasts, will be about $ 25.
At the same time, the possibility of providing socially unprotected segments of the population with the possibility of preferential purchase of digital set-top boxes is already being discussed. Nobody should be left without television.
Digital television broadcasting of the DVB-T standard is available to 95.07% of the population of Belarus.
By 2015, it is planned to install more than 40 TV and radio transmission stations in Belarus. This will significantly reduce energy costs. So, in the case of a digital TV transmitter, eight TV programs can be broadcast on one frequency assignment.
The main problem hindering the massive transition to digital television is the insufficient provision of the population with receiving equipment. To receive digital TV, you need a TV that supports the DVB-T format with the MPEG-4 compression standard or a set-top box of similar parameters that connects to a regular TV. Also, an individual receiving antenna is required to receive TV channels.
In Belarus, there is a State Program for the introduction of digital television and radio broadcasting in Belarus until 2015. Belarus, like other countries, should complete the transition to digital television broadcasting by July 17, 2015. The government has instructed to develop a comprehensive plan for the transition to digital television broadcasting. By the middle of this year, this plan should be submitted to the Council of Ministers for consideration.
When switching from analogue to digital terrestrial broadcasting, a higher quality and noise immunity of a digital TV signal is achieved. In addition, the power consumption of electricity of a digital transmitter in terms of one TV program is several times lower than that of analogue television transmission, which makes it possible to reduce the total electricity costs with the same service area.
Benefits:
- the use of a single digital coding standard, which in the future will replace the incompatible standard color TV systems - SECAM, PAL, NTSC;
- significant increase in image quality;
- the ability to use soundtrack in stereo mode;
- the possibility of increasing the number of broadcasted TV and radio broadcasting programs on one frequency channel;
- freeing up the frequency resource without reducing the volume of TV broadcasting;
- significant reduction in power consumption of transmitting equipment;
- the ability to provide mobile reception of TV broadcasting and high-quality reception in large cities.
At the same time, stable and high-quality reception of TV programs is possible both on a stationary and on an indoor antenna (the digital TV signal is less exposed to noise and various interference).
Digital signal reception is carried out to digital TV receivers, as well as to existing analog TV receivers using a digital set-top box (Set top Box).
The introduction of digital TV broadcasting differs significantly from the introduction of other telecommunication innovations. The emergence of new technologies, as a rule, does not replace old ones. A parallel deployment is in progress.
Coverage areas of Belarus with digital terrestrial television.
In this article we will talk about Belarusian digital television. In our store you will always find all the accessories for organizing satellite and terrestrial television.
If a person has a TV, or he recently acquired it, then the question naturally arises - what to watch? In this article, I want to cover all possible alternatives superficially. It is especially important to decide on the choice of a television signal at the stage of construction and repair in order to bring all the necessary cables to televisions. Digital television in Belarus is presented
1) Cable TV,
2) Terrestrial digital television,
4) Satellite TV.
More options for digital television do not occur to me, if you want to supplement me, then unsubscribe in the comments.
Now I will say trivial things, but for cable TV, a cable from the provider must come to your apartment or house!
If you live in a country house, or your house is simply not serviced by any organization, then you will not be able to conclude an agreement with any of the operators. As a rule, after concluding a contract and paying for services, a DVB-C set-top box or a conditional access module for a TV is given out for use, or purchased by you yourself, the subscription fee depends on the provider and the channel package. It is enough to bring one coaxial cable to the apartment, then you can use splitters.
Now about terrestrial digital television - you need a decimeter antenna for reception, it can of course be room-type - this is provided a very good signal from the transmitting tower, but more often it is outdoor. If your TV has a built-in tuner labeled DVB-T or DVB-T2, then you can connect the antenna directly to the TV, if your TV is equipped with only an analog tuner, then you need to additionally buy an external DVB-T \\ T2 unit, the common name is a digital set-top box.
You can watch the social package of programs absolutely free - these are the channels Belarus 1, Belarus 2, Belarus 3, ONT, STV, NTV-Belarus, RTR-Belarus, Mir, Belarus 5 (DVB-T2). All other channels - contact beltelecom or KosmosTV
IP TV (ip TV) is a service of access to TV broadcasting channels via the Internet. To watch TV using this technology, you need a reliable and fast network access. By connecting the TV to the Internet via wi-fi or cable, you download the application, pay for services and watch. If your TV is too old and does not support installation of programs, then an external set-top box for IP TV is used. The most famous version of IP TV in Belarus is ZALA (Beltelecom).
Now a few words about satellite TV. Oddly enough, to watch satellite TV you need a dish, no dish - no satellite TV! On the territory of our country, you can receive a dozen satellites, but if you are interested in channels in Russian, and not in Turkish, Arabic, German, Ukrainian, then only the Eutelsat satellite in a position of 36 degrees is of interest. If your dish is tuned to this satellite, then you can buy a satellite tuner from the Tricolor operator, or a satellite tuner from the NTV-plus operator (depending on whose channels and prices you prefer). Perhaps your TV has a built-in satellite tuner (DVB-S2), which means that you can install a module with a card instead of an external tuner in it, but you will not save money for money, so I do not recommend overpaying for a satellite tuner built into the TV.
To connect satellite TV, a personal cable must come from the dish to each viewing point, or at least 2 cables to the distribution box.
That is quite often in the "TV-tuner" column we can see the following designations: analog, DVB-C, DVB-T, DVB-T2, in some models the DVB-S / S2 standard is additionally found. What is it, what is it for and what does it affect? Let's figure it out.
A TV tuner is a type of radio receiver that is designed to receive television signals of various standards. All existing television broadcasting standards at the moment can be conditionally divided into 2 types: analog and digital. The abbreviation DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) stands for digital.
Thus, the vast majority of modern televisions can receive and process both an analog signal and various digital standards. The difference is determined by the ability to transmit a signal with a certain resolution and frame rate per second (fps).
Obsolete television standards (analog)
With an analog signal, everything is simple. In the 20th century, at the dawn of color television, several analog television formats were used: NTSC, PAL, and SECAM.
NTSC - became the first official standard for color television. It happened in the USA in 1953. NTSC was "sharpened" for a screen resolution of 720x480 pixels and a frequency of 30 frames per second. These parameters were chosen solely due to the fact that in the USA the frequency of industrial electrical networks is 60 Hz. This type of analog signal has become the basis for the countries of the North American continent and Japan.
SECAMappeared in 1956 in France. Here the characteristics were already somewhat different. The signal provided a resolution of 720x576 and a frequency of 25 frames per second. The standard current frequency in European power grids is 50 Hz, which is why it had such parameters. SECAM was adopted as a benchmark for the Soviet Union, firstly, because it met Soviet industrial standards, and secondly, because France provided broadcasting equipment and favorable conditions for purchasing a license.
PAL originated as an alternative to the SECAM signal in 1967 in Germany. It was also "sharpened" for 720x576 resolution and 25 frames per second. All European countries except France and the Soviet Union adopted this standard as a basic one and used it until the end of the 20th century.
Modern TVs, which are produced for the European region, process PAL and SECAM signals without problems, but if you bought a TV in the USA, then theoretically problems may arise and you will have to buy a special adapter.
However, the era of analog broadcasting is almost a thing of the past, and there is hardly any need to worry about compatibility. It is enough to remember that the designation "analog" in Europe means support for PAL and SECAM signals.
As a rule, the labeling of the TV can always be understood for which region it is intended.
Digital television standards
Digital television began to supplant analog in the last years of the 20th century. As with analog standards, there is also regional separation for digital.
- ATSC- developed in the USA, used in North American countries
- ISDB- designed in Japan, used in the Pacific Rim and South America
- DTMB- a digital television standard used only in China
- DMB- Korean standard for digital television
- DVB - developed in Europe, the most popular standard (used in 270 countries)
ATSC appeared in 1996 in the USA and was intended to replace analog NTSC. Actually, its peculiarity is that it is adapted to the broadcasting frequency of 60 Hz. The standard supports satellite, cable and terrestrial broadcasting. The technical capabilities of ATSC are slightly broader than those of other digital standards. In particular, it is capable of providing six-channel audio broadcasting (5.1)
ISDB - Japanese standard, which is adopted as the base in Japan and South America. Supports satellite, terrestrial, cable and satellite broadcasts for mobile devices.
DTMB- standard for broadcast and mobile broadcasting, currently used only in China
DMB Is an experimental standard available to residents of South Korea and Japan. In addition to satellite, cable and terrestrial broadcasting, it supports satellite mobile broadcasting. Multimedia content can be received directly from the satellite on a tablet or mobile phone.
DVB-T and DVBT-2 standards
Initially, the DVB digital broadcasting standard was created for satellite broadcasting, but later versions of DVB appeared for cable, terrestrial and later for satellite mobile broadcasting. Now the following variants of the DVB standard exist.
- DVB-T and DVB-T2 - terrestrial group, the signal is received by a conventional antenna
- DVB-C - broadcasting standard for cable networks
- DVB-S and DVB-S2 - satellite broadcasting standards
- DVB-H - satellite standard for mobile devices
In 2015, Russia and Belarus made the final transition from terrestrial analogue to digital broadcasting. The DVB-T2 standard was adopted as a basis. Most modern TV models support the DVB-T and DVB-T2 standards, that is, they are able to process the signal that is received by a conventional antenna.
The second version of the standard is improved. The maximum possible capacity of the broadcasting network has been expanded and other technical parameters have been improved. In Russia and Belarus, the second version of the standard was adopted solely due to the fact that the transition to it took place after the first was morally outdated. In Europe, Africa and Australia, for example, DVB-T (blue on the map) is still the basic digital broadcasting standard.
By the way, the signals are incompatible. That is, if we assume that your TV is capable of processing only a DVB-T signal, you will not be able to receive terrestrial television with a conventional antenna in Belarus.
What to do if the tuner for some reason is not adapted to receive a DVB signal or the old TV does not support digital television at all? Buy a digital TV receiver with an antenna output (tv set-top box). It is inexpensive, so there shouldn't be any serious problems.
DVB-C standard
DVB-C is the European digital cable TV standard. Supported by almost all models of modern TVs intended for sale in Europe. A tuner with this standard is able to correctly process the signal used by cable TV providers.
It is worth remembering that some cable networks or individual channels may be encoded. In the contract when connecting cable TV, such nuances are always spelled out. For decoding, you may additionally need a special card that is inserted into the CAM-module or into a digital TV receiver. You can get it from your cable TV operator.
DVB-S and DVB-S2 standards
How to set up satellite TV? The fact is that the processing of signals from satellite broadcasting standards DVB-S and DVB-S2 is NOT provided in all modern TVs. If you intend to watch satellite channels, pay attention to what parameters are indicated in the “Tuner” column. If the standards of the S group are indicated, it means that to watch satellite TV you only need a special card from the provider (in the CAM module) and a connection to a satellite dish. It will not be difficult to tune satellite TV channels yourself. If the TV does not support the S group standards, it means that you will additionally need a receiver (special set-top box) to watch satellite channels.
DVB-S2 is an improved version of the standard, technically different from the outdated DVB-S. When connecting satellite TV, pay attention to the signal standard of the satellite from which you are going to receive channels. Technical parameters are always indicated in the documentation.
DVB-H standard
DVB-H is a European television standard for mobile devices. It is a logical continuation of the DVB-T standard, but is not used in stationary equipment. The tuner of a conventional TV is unlikely to be adapted to receive such a signal, therefore, it is useless to look for this standard in the technical specifications when choosing a TV. For broadcasting and receiving of a DVB-H signal, technologies are used that are designed to save the battery of a mobile device. In the CIS countries, in experimental mode, the DVB-H signal is broadcast only to some regions of Moscow and is not yet relevant for Belarus.
What is important to consider when choosing a TV?
The first thing that is important to pay attention to is the region for which the model is intended. As mentioned above, you can find out by marking the model. American TVs will definitely add to your connection problems. Models adapted for the Asian region (Japan, Korea) are very likely to be tuned to receive a signal of the ISDB standard, not DVB.
Such problems will definitely not arise if the TV model is certified for implementation in the CIS countries. But if you are offered to buy confiscated contraband goods at a cheap price, or, for example, an uncle decided to send a TV set from America, carefully study the characteristics.
The second thing that is important to pay attention to is the tuner's ability to process signals of DVB-S and DVB-S2 standards. As already mentioned, not every TV model, even from serious brands like Samsung, LG or Sony, is capable of receiving a signal of this group of standards.
