LG’s early introduction of ATSC 3.0-enabled TVs builds on the company’s key role in the development of the ATSC 3.0 suite of standards, especially the approved A/322 Physical Layer Standard at the heart of the new broadcast system that will merge the capabilities of broadcast and broadband for the first time.Ĭore technologies developed by LG and its US R&D lab Zenith are included in the majority of the ATSC 3.0 Physical Layer Standard. LG Electronics is launching the first ATSC 3.0-equipped 4K TVs in Korea as SBS and other Korean broadcasters begin next-gen TV broadcasting this spring in advance of the 2018 Winter Olympics.
