Brasília - A decree signed yesterday by president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva
makes it official: Brazil will use the Japanese digital TV format to implant
its own Brazilian system (Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão Digital Terrestre)
(SBTD-T). Under the terms of the decree, Brazil will move from analog to
digital transmissions over a period of ten years, and four new digital channels
for public (government) broadcasting will be created: one for the executive
branch, and others for education, citizenship and culture.
The Brazilian consumer will not have to go out and buy a new TV set when
digital transmissions begin. The installation of a small converter will be
sufficient. As for open TV broadcasters, they will automatically receive a
digital channel which they will have 18 months to begin using for
transmissions. Within seven years, broadcasters should be able to ensure that
their digital transmissions will be nationwide. Only after ten years will the
analog signal be terminated.
"This is project for all Brazilians," declared minister of Communications,
Helio Costa.
