Tencent Tech, 12/22/08
Wang Xiaojie, director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT)'s Science and Technology Department, has stated that new manufacturing standards will be released next year designed to accelerate the custom manufacturing of high-definition televisions. The standards will include interface standards, terminal standards, sound frequency standards, and copyright protection standards. According to Wang, the continuing focus on overall national development will also aid the promotion of high-definition television terminals.
Service standards will be a main focus of the digital television industry in 2009 and will include the development of new service and business systems, cable television networks, and service oversight management models. The department is currently inviting comments and advice.
Another focus for 2009 will be high-definition program content.
