What is NEXTGEN TV?

NEXTGEN TV is the moniker given to the new ATSC 3.0 standard. ATSC 3.0 is the fourth and latest standard for terrestrial (over-the-air) television in North America. It was finalized in 2017 and first launched in South Korea that same year. Like its predecessor, ATSC 1.0, ATSC 3.0 is a digital standard (video, audio and data are represented and transported digitally) but that is where the similarities end. Based on IP protocols, ATSC 3.0 uses more efficient encoding and transport technologies. It combines over-the-air broadcasts with broadband distribution to enable personalized content, targeted advertising, and interactive services – retaining both the efficiency of broadcast distribution and the flexibility offered by two-way broadband connections. Support for higher resolutions, greater picture contrast, deeper shades of color and immersive audio greatly enhance the user experience. These enhancements allow for new revenue models (such as premium services, transactional services as well as greater ad revenues due to better targeting).

In addition to South Korea, ATSC 3.0 is available in more than 50 metropolitan regions in the US, with many more to be added in the near future. It was also launched in January of 2022 in Jamaica. Brazil is using a number of ATSC 3.0 technologies for its TV 3.0 service, while India is considering it for direct to mobile services.
