Digital terrestrial broadcasting services for mobile reception will start in Spring 2006. The mobile receivers will likely be cellular phone or handheld TV sets. The same programs as broadcast to a fixed HDTV receiver will be viewable on a mobile receiver.
This exhibit illustrates the style of viewing TV programs on a mobile receiver. It also presents an example of data broadcasting services for cellular phones that is also planned to be exhibited at the 2005 World Exposition, in Aichi Japan. |
- A program with clear audio and video can be viewed even while in transit, without ghost interference or distortion.
- The user can access data broadcasting.
- The user can obtain additional information from the broadcaster’s data servers or web servers by using the receiver’s communications function.
- A mobile receiver with a GPS function can obtain location-specific data contents, such as the route to the closest evacuation site during an emergency.
- A location with poor signal reception, such as an underground shopping arcade or subway station, can be covered by re-transmitting the digital terrestrial broadcast-waves.

| Our research is aimed at development of a useful mobile receiver with high-quality picture and sound. We will improve its element technologies and design new network-linked broadcasting services. |
