Abstract (EN): The transition to digital in the TV broadcasting industry is already gradually being performed while the complete digital switchover seems now possible to be accomplished within the near future. This article describes and analyses this phenomenon and the role of MPEG-21 may play in it. MPEG-21 is the ISO/IEC standard currently under development in MPEG (ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG11). Unlike preceding MPEG standards - MPEG-21 does not specify a coding format of the content but rather a set of standards to ease transactions of multimedia content and the provision of digital multimedia services in heterogeneous network environments, including broadcast. In this paper, we highlight the role of MPEG-21 in broadcasting, in particular in the deployment of digital TV services.
