Some of the changes needed to add Mobile DTV capabilities to a station involve obvious additional or modified equipment (encoders, multiplexer, transmitter). However, there are a number of other considerations, including: workflow, bandwidth management, adding interactive and NRT services, service protection and interaction (return) channel use. While much of this is still new and the implications are still being understood, this presentation will provide a summary of the considerations necessary for adding Mobile DTV and discuss what has been learned so far on these topics.
