Provides television receiver manufacturers and broadcasters with the technical specification for the Australian digital terrestrial television transmission system.

This Standard specifies requirements for digital terrestrial television transmissions in Australia, including the video, audio and data coding, the characteristics of the transport stream, the channel coding and the modulation system to be used.This update includes consideration of standards related to terrestrial fixed and mobile broadcasting, encoded video and audio. In this update of AS 4599.1, references are included for copy protection, copy management and application programming interfaces.
