DVB is our core software; it forms the strong foundations that allow us to continue to expand our solution and enhance our software components regularly to ensure you are receiving the very best end product. Our solution has been crafted to DVB and DTG D-Book standards, and our code has been written in ANSI C programming language. DTVKit is compatible with the following DVB standards: DVB-T/T2, DVB-S/S2, DVB-C and ISDB-T.
