About ATSC
ATSC 3.0 Conformance Test and Assessment
Request for Information
The ATSC expects stations to begin testing in earnest in 2017, with early U.S. market
deployments in the first half of 2018.
For more details on the ATSC 3.0 suite of standards, see http://atsc.org/standards/atsc-3-0standards/ for final ATSC 3.0 standards and http://atsc.org/standards/candidate-standards/ for
ATSC 3.0 candidate standards
RFI Background and Objective
In order to achieve the highest quality user experience, ATSC and other industry groups are
interested in establishing a Conformity Assessment program for ATSC 3.0 including the
development of Conformance Test Suites and Tools.
Figure 1 Context for this RFI
The information obtained from the RFI responses will be used to inform the ATSC and allied
organizations as they establish a framework, including initial plans and high-level budgeting, for
an ATSC 3.0 Conformity Assessment program. It is expected the program will eventually be
administered under the auspices of one or more industry organizations.
The high level goals of the Conformity Assessment Program include:
 Assuring a quality experience for consumers when viewing and interacting with ATSC
3.0 content
 Assuring interoperability between broadcasted content and receivers
Note: ATSC understands it may be unlikely any single organization or company will be able to
cover all aspects of this RFI. Partial responses are perfectly acceptable and encouraged.
