Kirch's launches DF1
--------------------
The German media giant, Kirch Group, launched DF1 on
July 28 with the transmission of the Formula 1 Grand Prix
races held in Mochenhum, Germany and with an initial
offering of 17 additional television and radio channels.
The new digital technology allowed Grand Prix viewers
to follow the races from five different camera angles on
five separate channels, using the new electronic program
guide, T.O.N.I. (Tele Online Navigation Instrument).
BetaDigital, a newly founded Kirch Group company,
provides the digital technical service for DF1, by employing
TV/COM's Compression NetWORKS, the world's first DVB-
compliant MPEG-2 system digital video compression system.
Unlike proprietary systems, Compression NetWORKS provides an
open standards based platform that ensures that current
equipment will be fully interoperable with future source,
editing, storage, broadcast and consumer equipment.
