Analysis of the Transport Layer Candidate Technologies for the TV 3.0 Project

The Brazilian Digital Terrestrial Television System (SBTVD-T) Forum released a Call for Proposals (CfP) for its "TV 3.0 Project", seeking for candidate technologies on six system components to compound a new Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting (DTTB) system to be adopted in Brazil. This paper presents the requirements for its Transport Layer (TL), a brief presentation of the candidate technologies, and the analysis of the testing and evaluation report with further details, along with a consolidated evaluation. The results of the practical tests from the report and from other papers are discussed, followed by the reasons that lead to their decision of recommending the adoption of Real-time Object delivery over Unidirectional Transport/Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (ROUTE/DASH).
