“…The fact that most simulators presented here allow the reproduction of interactive content, combined with the desire to produce a tool aligned with the standard adopted in Brazil (ISDB-Tb: Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting, Terrestrial, Brazilian version) [6, 37], led us to reuse and extend the Ginga-J Emulator to meet the reproduction phase. The Ginga-J Emulator does not address the synchronization aspects between linear and interactive content (see Section 2.1) conformance with ISDB-Tb.…”

The emergence of Interactive Digital Television (iDTV) opened a set of technological possibilities that go beyond those offered by conventional TV. Among these opportunities we can highlight interactive contents that run together with linear TV program (television service where the viewer has to watch a scheduled TV program at the particular time it is offered and on the particular channel it is presented on). However, developing interactive contents for this new platform is not as straightforward as, for example, developing Internet applications. One of the options to make this development process easier and safer is to use an iDTV simulator. However, after having investigated some of the existing iDTV simulation environments, we have found a limitation: these simulators mainly present solutions focused on the TV receiver, whose interactive content must be loaded in advance by the programmer to a local repository (e.g., Hard Drive, USB). Therefore, in this paper, we propose a tool, named BiS (Broadcast iDTV content Simulator), which makes possible a broader solution for the simulation of interactive contents. It allows simulating the transmission of interactive content along with the linear TV program (simulating the transmission of content over the air and in broadcast to the receivers). To enable this, we defined a generic and easy-to-customize communication protocol that was implemented in the tool. The proposed environment differs from others because it allows simulating reception of both linear content and interactive content while running Java applications to allow such a content presentation.

This paper presents some contributions towards Interactive Digital Television, focusing on interactivity for citizenship in the context of Brazilian Digital Television System Terrestrial (SBTVD-T/ISDB-TB). The paper is focused on the necessary infrastructure, applications and services that can help with the challenges of promoting digital inclusion in Brazil. In the infrastructure issue, the BluTV (Bringing All Users to the Television) is discussed, specially in terms of its components to develop interactive applications and to explore the back channel (interactivity channel). As a product of this investigation, a prototype of Interactive TV Application Guide to promote citizenship through digital inclusion is presented.
