Abstract

We developed the ARIB-compliant HDTV-PC and used it for experimentation of unified applications by both digital broadcasting and broadband communication. With the rich viewing of HD video and synchronized interactive data services, a HDTV-PC solution is a more compelling one than each of the digital DTV and broadband PC. By combining the rich viewing by HD video and abundant information from the Internet, it was proved that a more useful service was possible than only from each separately. In addition, as a result of these experiments, it became clear that a useful new service was possible.
