LOS ANGELES—The ATSC 3.0 Security Authority (A3SA) took an important first step on the path to making ATSC 3.0-enabled digital video recorders and other devices a reality with the release of a DVR specification to licensees of its content protection technology.
“For the past year, we’ve been working in consultation with several electronics companies who are developing devices designed to add new features for NextGen TV viewers, from simple DVRs to more advanced home networking systems,” said A3SA managing director Ron Wheeler. “After considering the various home scenarios, A3SA is pleased to release detailed specifications that will guide companies and soon provide consumers with a wealth of new options for digital video recording and more.”
