With over 64 million Brazilian households accessing broadcast TV today, the market is amid the biggest system upgrade since 2007. SBTVD (Fórum do Sistema Brasileiro de TV Digital Terrestre), the Brazilian standards organization dedicated to guaranteed access to high quality image and sound, is evolving terrestrial transmission with the launch of TV 2.5 and TV 3.0.

Globo, the largest broadcaster in Brazil, has been leading the implementation through a series of highly visible trials. This webinar will delve into how Globo used last year’s FIFA World Cup as the testbed for both TV 2.5 and TV 3.0, broadcasting hundreds of hours of matches. Our host Lisa Collins is joined by Globo and their partners MainConcept, V-Nova, and InterDigital, a contributing partner of Advanced HDR by Technicolor solutions, who will share how the idea went from concept to reality in time for November 2022 kickoff, and what this means for other regions around the world.

How Brazil is Transitioning Broadcast TV and What it Means for Other Regions

2022 saw advancements in digital video technologies including 8K, codecs like VVC, and advanced audio via xHE-AAC and MPEG-H. Sports content from golf and bull riding to American football to the FIFA World Cup (and so much more) has continued to feed the hunger of sports fans while legalization of sports betting in the US continues to grow.  

Streaming video on demand (SVOD) platforms and free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) are now engaging viewers at scale and opening even more avenues for revenue generation. In all of this, audiences increasingly want enhanced video and audio quality and curated experiences.
