DTV Innovations is a US-based, privately held company that develops software and hardware which enable television broadcasters to deliver programming reliably to their viewers, specifically through inclusion of data conforming to Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP), mandated by the FCC. PSIP data, as defined by the American Television Standards Committee (ATSC) Standard A/65, is a collection of tables and information designed to operate within every digital broadcast transport stream and includes critical data which describes the information at the system and event levels for all virtual channels carried within a broadcaster’s transport stream. Without this PSIP data, broadcast programming cannot be received or viewed by any television receiver. Additionally, PSIP is the basis for the Electronic Program Guide which is displayed on all ATSC-compatible digital TV receivers and used by viewers to review information regarding the program and make selections for viewing and recording.
