[Satellite TODAY 09-16-11] Video contribution and distribution solutions T-VIPS has partnered with broadcast technology developer ProTelevision to develop a joint DVB-T2-Lite transmission solution, T-VIPS announced Sept. 15.

   The companies said the solution will power a trial for the Danish operator Open Channel following the IBC 2011 conference in Amsterdam. The solution was designed to enable operators to deploy DVB-T2-Lite for the distribution of video and audio content to mobile devices.

   “For the operator, it’s important that DVB-T2-Lite is a subset of the DVB-T2 standard as it means that flexible DVB-T2 solutions, such as the T-VIPS CP560 DVB-T2 Gateway and the ProTelevision DVB-T2 modulator can be upgraded for the deployment of DVB-T2-Lite, minimizing the cost of launching new mobile content services,” T-VIPS COO Janne Morstøl said in a statement.

   DVB-T2-Lite was ratified by the DVB in July 2011 as a profile optimized for the distribution of video and radio content to mobile devices.
