To assess the preparedness of MPEG4 set top box (STB) roll-out for its free direct to home (DTH) service Freedish, Pubcaster Doordarshan’s DG Supriya Sahu visited ByDesign facilities in Bengaluru.
According to Sahu who wrote on Twitter, “DD team visited ByDesign facilities to assess the preparedness for roll out of MPEG 4 iCAS enabled new boxes of DD Free Dish in Electronic city at Bengaluru. It was impressive to see the state of art equipment and manufacturing capabilities made in India.”
Sahu told earlier that the encrypted STBs will be rolled-out from April. However, the launch got delayed. DD has selected five STB manufacturers for supplying encrypted MPEG4 STBs. These original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are Modern Communication and Broadcast System, Velankani Electronics, BGM Holding Company, KMTS Engineering, and Millennium Technology.
Now the authorised OEMs will have to integrate their STBs with the iCAS and DD approved Firmware/Middleware. The STB OEM will have to provide the duly certified integration testing report from the iCAS OEM and the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification.
DD will test five such STBs and on successful integration and testing of the STBs, it will issue a letter of intent to the STB OEM.
