DTVKit provides fully integrated DVB and ATSC 1.0 software solutions for the Reference Design Kit (RDK) platform. Our components deliver seamless support for broadcast services, enabling manufacturers and operators to implement DVB‑S/S2, DVB‑T/T2, DVB‑C, and ATSC 1.0 functionality within RDK‑based devices.
This ensures standards‑compliant delivery of digital TV services on RDK‑powered products, allowing manufacturers to focus on differentiation rather than core broadcast integration.
DTVKit’s RDK integration offers the flexibility, compliance, and accelerated time‑to‑market required for commercial TVs, set‑top boxes, and hybrid video solutions.
DTVKit’s DVB and ATSC 1.0 integrations for RDK are based on the RDK Video Accelerator platform and fully aligned with RDK standards. The modular architecture ensures straightforward integration across various RDK versions and operator‑specific extensions.

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.
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.
