HDTV<br />
Since 2007, ARTE has broadcast<br />
programmes in HD via ADSL, cable,<br />
the ASTRA satellite, and on Digital<br />
Terrestrial Television (DTTV).<br />
The number of HD productions<br />
is growing constantly and all ARTE<br />
programmes are being converted<br />
to a technical quality that is ideally<br />
suited to fl at widescreen televisions.<br />
BRINGING ARTE<br />
TO EVERY SCREEN<br />
TV via ADSL<br />
ARTE features in several triple play<br />
packages (Internet / telephone / TV)<br />
offered by ADSL providers.<br />
Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV<br />
The idea of HBB-TV is to merge<br />
broadcast audiences with Internet<br />
users in front of a single screen,<br />
enabling viewers to surf the web and<br />
watch TV on the same set. All ARTE’s<br />
programming, free-to-air and on<br />
demand, is available via broadband<br />
with excellent picture quality.<br />
On mobile phones and iPhones<br />
In Germany, the latest mobile phone<br />
models allow reception of ARTE<br />
via DTTV. In both Germany and France,<br />
special iPhone packages offer access<br />
to ARTE using 3G streaming technology.<br />
SAME PICTURE,<br />
DIFFERENT LANGUAGES<br />
Thanks to digital transmission,<br />
ARTE programmes are always<br />
available in stereo and in both local<br />
languages. French and German<br />
speaking viewers automatically<br />
receive broadcasts in their own<br />
language but also have access to<br />
the second language version as well<br />
as original language versions with<br />
subtitles for some fi lms.<br />
SUBTITLES FOR HEARING-<br />
IMPAIRED VIEWERS AND<br />
AUDIO DESCRIPTION<br />
Every year ARTE broadcasts<br />
about thirty cinema titles<br />
and television dramas with<br />
Audio Description on the second<br />
channel via DTTV, satellite and<br />
over-the-air. The AD feature,<br />
available in both French<br />
and German, makes visual<br />
and narrative content accessible<br />
to the blind and visually impaired.<br />
The channel is also increasingly<br />
offering programmes for the hard<br />
of hearing: up to 50% of its broadcasts<br />
can be accessed in a subtitled<br />
version via teletext, or by using<br />
the “subtitles” function on TNT,<br />
satellite, ADSL and cable<br />
decoders.<br />
