Dvb-h is the acronym of (Digital Video Broadcasting Handheld) that it represents a standard adopted by the principals European manufacturers of the TV on cellular devices.

The Dvb-h is a standard of transmission of the information similar to the system broadcast of the traditional TV, where a program is radiated toward many receivers devices.

The mobile transmissions broadcasts are more cheaper than the current unicast system, where the operator sends on the consumer demand a single flow of data.

The Dvb-h is a derived standard from the most famous Dvb-t (Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestial) the system of transmission of the new Digital Terrestrial TV.

Dvb-h takes advantage of big part (90%) of the Dvb-t net infrastructure, for the data transmission.

The video image of the Dvb-h systems is usually encoded in Mpeg2 format, while the mobile devices (cellular, smartphones, PDA) that want to receive the broadcast channels must have a special Dvb chipset .
