Allegro DVT, a global pioneer in video compliance tools and testing services, is set to make waves at SET Expo 2025 in São Paulo. The company will demonstrate its cutting-edge StreamWise System Streams and Astralis VQ Analyzer, underscoring its dedication to supporting the rollout of TV 3.0 in Brazil. As the country transitions to this next-generation digital TV broadcast standard, Allegro DVT’s solutions are poised to play a pivotal role in ensuring seamless deployment.
Developed by the Brazilian Terrestrial Television System Forum (SBTVD), TV 3.0 introduces groundbreaking advancements such as advanced video codecs (VVC, MPEG-5 LCEVC), immersive audio (MPEG-H), hybrid delivery, MIMO technology, emergency alerts, and Sign Language support. These innovations aim to deliver richer, more engaging user experiences. However, with increased complexity comes the need for rigorous testing to ensure quality, reliability, interoperability, and cost efficiency while safeguarding brand reputation.
With over two decades of expertise, Allegro DVT has established itself as a trusted provider of video silicon IP, compliance testing solutions, and official TV testing laboratory services for the Nordic countries. The company also supports major standards like ISDB-T, ATSC 3.0, and now TV 3.0. Its comprehensive portfolio empowers broadcasters, operators, and manufacturers to deliver TV experiences that meet stringent industry benchmarks.
StreamWise System Streams: Ensuring Seamless Interoperability
One of Allegro DVT’s standout offerings is the StreamWise System Streams. This innovative tool generates synthetic test streams that combine video, audio, and transport data. By simulating real-world broadcasting scenarios, StreamWise ensures smooth interoperability between devices and minimizes the risk of field failures. For manufacturers and operators deploying TV 3.0, this capability is invaluable. It allows them to identify potential issues early in the development process, saving time and resources while enhancing product reliability.
StreamWise is particularly critical for TV 3.0, given the standard’s intricate features. From advanced codecs to hybrid delivery mechanisms, every component must work harmoniously. StreamWise provides the necessary checks to validate these interactions, ensuring that end-users enjoy uninterrupted, high-quality broadcasts.
Astralis VQ Analyzer: Deep Bitstream Inspection
Another cornerstone of Allegro DVT’s offering is the Astralis VQ Analyzer. This powerful tool performs advanced bitstream analysis at both system and video elementary levels. With multi-codec support and extensive coverage of industry standards, Astralis enables deep inspection of bitstream content. It excels in conformance checks, ensuring that broadcasts adhere to TV 3.0 specifications while rapidly detecting and diagnosing issues.
For broadcasters and OEMs, Astralis serves as a vital asset in maintaining compliance and optimizing performance. Its ability to quickly pinpoint problems accelerates troubleshooting, reducing downtime and enhancing overall service quality. In an era where consumers demand flawless viewing experiences, Astralis provides the assurance needed to meet those expectations.
Lab Testing Services: Accelerating Deployment
In addition to its software solutions, Allegro DVT offers independent, accredited lab testing services. These include RF verification and PSI/SI validation, which are essential for ensuring signal integrity and compliance. Compared to self-testing, Allegro DVT’s lab services can save up to 10 weeks in the certification process. This acceleration is crucial for manufacturers aiming to bring TV 3.0-compatible receivers to market swiftly.
By leveraging Allegro DVT’s lab testing expertise, vendors can confidently navigate the complexities of TV 3.0. The company’s rigorous methodologies not only enhance product robustness but also strengthen consumer trust—a key factor in driving adoption.
Empowering the TV 3.0 Ecosystem
Allegro DVT’s comprehensive suite of solutions addresses the multifaceted challenges of TV 3.0 deployment. From ensuring seamless interoperability with StreamWise to enabling precise bitstream analysis with Astralis, the company equips stakeholders with the tools they need to succeed. Meanwhile, its lab testing services streamline certification, helping manufacturers stay ahead in a competitive market.
These offerings collectively empower OEMs and operators to deliver feature-rich, standards-compliant TV 3.0 services. By addressing potential pitfalls early and ensuring robust performance, Allegro DVT minimizes risks and maximizes returns on investment. This approach not only benefits businesses but also enhances the viewer experience, fostering widespread acceptance of TV 3.0 across Brazil.
A Commitment to Innovation and Quality
Allegro DVT’s participation in SET Expo 2025 highlights its unwavering commitment to innovation and quality.
