## About DTVKit

DTVKit is a not-for-profit consortium that develops production-grade middleware
for digital television. Members receive a royalty-free shared-source codebase
covering the major broadcast and hybrid TV standards, with proven ports to
Android TV, RDK, embedded Linux and bare-metal silicon targets. The model is a
single annual membership fee with no per-device royalties.
