Simultaneous broadcast of TV and data signals -- DiviCom already provides equipment that can mix and transmit data with MPEG video. 'Datacasting' big at NAB The big debate at NAB in Vegas this next week will be on how to implement data broadcasting over digital TV. Intel will be pushing its vision, while the Advanced TV Systems Committee struggles to nail down specs on data encapsulation and interoperability, George Leopold & Junko Yoshida write in EE Times. As digital TV rolls out in the U.S. this fall, adding data, either associated with a broadcast or independent of it, has become a major concern. The ATSC has focused on setting standards for over-the-air terrestrial signals, but Intel and others want to develop a spec that allows broadcasters to author a "video plus data" application once and play it everywhere. Several kinds of datacasting are likely to emerge over terrestrial, cable, and satellite systems during the next year and no one wants to repeat what happened to Unix.
