Digital Terrestrial Broadcast Services

Via our DVB-T based transport and transmission services, Kordia can provide broadcasters with a range of digital terrestrial broadcast services.

These are delivered through some of Kordia's terrestrial network of broadcast sites in New Zealand.

Standard and high-definition TV services

Television, radio and other multi-media broadcast services are available, based on the International DVB-T standard.

Both standard definition and high definition television services are possible based on the use of:

• MPEG-4 (AVC/H264) video compression standards
• Multi-channel statistical multiplexing

The radio services are encoded and compressed to a range of industry standards. Bit rates are available from 64kbps and above, to suit the broadcasters content and quality requirements.

How Kordia’s DTT broadcast service works

Kordia's digital terrestrial broadcast services are available via Kordia's head-end and interface location in Auckland.

We currently provide a range of terrestrial broadcast contribution services in New Zealand. We can also provide a studio to DTT head-end linking service for broadcasters as required.

Initially deployed over seven regions in the UHF band (518MHz to 806MHz), digital terrestrial broadcast services will reach about 75% of the total New Zealand population.

In some regions, multiple transmission sites have being developed. These ensure a high likelihood of reception by viewers on UHF receiving systems.

These digital terrestrial services complement Kordia's current analogue broadcast services and satellite broadcast services.
