sdvb

SDVB is an acronym whose meaning varies by context; there is no universally defined single concept.

In broadcasting and media technology, SDVB is sometimes used to refer to standard-definition digital video broadcast content or services within the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) framework. DVB covers digital transmission standards for satellite (DVB-S), terrestrial (DVB-T), and cable (DVB-C). In this usage, "SD" denotes the standard-definition resolution, commonly around 720x576 (PAL) or 720x480 (NTSC) in conjunction with MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 video, and with transport streams carrying audio and data. The term is often contrasted with high-definition DVB services.

In software and hardware contexts, "sdvb" or "SDVB" may be encountered as a project name, module name, or code path that relates to DVB input/output functionality; its exact scope is determined by the project. Because SDVB is not a standardized acronym, readers should consult the specific documentation of the relevant product or project to determine its intended meaning.
