Digital Video Broadcasting, or DVB is an accepted format for television broadcasting signals. There is a worldwide consortium that has patented the technology behind the various accepted television signals. This is so that all digital signals can be the same for all countries, as opposed to the analogue method of NTSC, Secam, and PAL.

A complete discussion of DVB-ASI specifications is provided in EN 50083-9: Cabled Distribution Systems for Television, Sound and Interactive Multimedia Signals, available from ETSI.
