STRATEGY OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA FOR THE SWITCHOVER FROM ANALOGUE TO DIGITALBROADCASTING– code ratio (½, 2/3, ¾, 4/6, 7/8),– guard interval (¼, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32),– Picture coding method (MPEG-4)– and other parameters linked to digital technology.Digital networks can be planned for different reception methods:−−−−fixed reception (aerials on roofs),mobile reception (aerials built-into devices),portable reception (external aerial or aerial built into device),portable reception in closed premises (external aerial, built into adevice or into building fittings).Due to the possible different coding methods of a digital signal, it is necessaryto provide technical requirements for the Slovenian market, which wouldunambiguously ensure that the equipment of different manufacturers willoperate independently of the multiplex operator. Certain technicalrequirements can be regulated by the APEK in its decisions or can be given ingeneral guidelines or they can also be agreed upon by the manufacturers ofthe equipment and multiplex operators.However, the basic principle is to respect existing international standards andrecommendations.For picture coding a more advanced system ITU-T H.264 (also known asMPEG-4 Part 10) is used.5.3 Geographical and frequency aspects of theswitchoverThe Republic of Slovenia is divided into three geographical areas:EASTERN, CENTRAL and WESTERN, and into two regions (EASTERN,WESTERN) for digital broadcasting on the 12th channel.Division of the Republic of Slovenia into geographical areas:40

This follows from the fact that all the capitals ofEuropean countries have their own special regions, and thus the possibility ofadditional coverage.For each geographical region, a strategy for switchover to digital broadcastingwill be separately administrated. To reach faster switchover in individualgeographical regions, APEK can also establish these areas in a narrower way,but it has to ensure in the final phase that whole geographical regions areconsolidated with regard to frequencies into single frequency networks (SFN).41
