Argentina will share with Uruguay its experience with the ISDB-T

The Argentine government has offered Uruguay to share its experience in digital television and the adoption of the Brazilian-Japanese standard, according to the Minister of Industries (MIEM), Roberto Kreimerman.

The Argentine government has offered Uruguay to share its experience in digital television and the adoption of the Brazilian-Japanese ISDB-T standard, according to the Minister of Industries (MIEM), Roberto Kreimerman.

Kreimerman reported that in the coming days he will receive a delegation from Brazil with specialists in the matter, and will travel to Chile at the end of the month to participate in a forum on the subject.

The head of the MIEM recalled that this country adopted the aforementioned technological regulations at the end of last year, the same as Argentina and Brazil, for example.

Kreimerman stated that the change from analog to digital technology in the world will imply advantages and possibilities for users and nations.

The analogue blackout is planned in Uruguay for the 2014-2015 biennium. To this end, tests to develop the ISDB-T will begin in September, after its authorities announced last December that the country would adopt this technological model, as confirmation of the integrationist will of this country with the region and Mercosur.

The commitment of the government of the President of the Republic, José Múgica, contrasts with that of his predecessor, Tabaré Vázquez, who, through decree 315/07, had opted for the European DVB-T standard. In Latin America, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru have opted for the Japanese-Brazilian format, compared to the European DVB and the American ATSC.

The Delegation in Uruguay of the European Union "regretted" the decision of the Government of President José Mujica to adopt the Japanese-Brazilian standard for digital television, discarding the European one, and highlighted that "an opportunity for cooperation is lost around a standard shared by 133 countries."
