What software components are included?
DTVKit gives you access to a powerful, production‑proven suite of broadcast components — DVB, DVB‑NIP, DSM‑CC, HbbTV 2.0.4, CI Plus 1.4 and 2.0, plus ATSC 1.0 and 3.0.
As a member, you’re not just downloading code; you’re tapping into a shared pool of software components used in millions of devices worldwide. Everything is delivered as full source code, ready for you to integrate, customise, and build on.
How quickly can I get started once I join?
Once your membership is confirmed and onboarding is complete, you’ll receive immediate access to the full DTVKit source code repository and documentation. Members are usually up and running within a few days.
How is the software licensed?
Membership gives you unlimited, royalty‑free access to the entire codebase. Use it, modify it, ship it – without per‑unit fees or runtime charges. This model keeps costs predictable and empowers you to innovate freely, without commercial restrictions holding you back.
Is the software updated regularly?
Yes. The stack is continuously maintained and improved, with updates driven by:
evolving DVB, ATSC, and HbbTV standards
security and performance enhancements
real product feedback from active members
Every improvement strengthens the entire community and you benefit from the collective momentum.
What platforms does DTVKit support?
DTVKit is designed to be flexible. It already supports Android TV, RDK, and hybrid white‑label platforms, and can be ported to Linux or other embedded systems.
Members choose DTVKit because it adapts to their roadmap, not the other way around.
Do I need to be a DVB or ATSC member to use DTVKit?
No. DTVKit is fully independent.
We align with DVB and ATSC standards to ensure compliance and interoperability, but you don’t need to join those organisations to use our software. Membership with DTVKit alone gives you everything you need to build compliant broadcast products.
