MPEG-4 standard provides a set of technologies in order to satisfy the need of authors, service providers, as well as end users. Also, MPEG will enable the production of content with greater reusability and flexibility than possible with individual technologies such as Digital TV (DTV). The object-based representation paradigm make MPEG-4 a standard that may find application from low bit-rate personal mobile communications to high quality studio production. One topic common to most applications is the need for supporting interactivity with different kind of data. A prime example is the introduction of DTV instead of analog with benefit such as improved quality and reliability. This work seeks to provide an overview of the influence of MPEG-4 standard on DTV from a perspective in Europe. The first part deals with some practical elements of the MPEG-4 standard. The focuses are on the set of technologies together with visual bitstream. The second part describes DTV development including Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) activities and achievements as well as high definition system origination for DTV. Finally, the third part describes control and encoding for DTV including the corresponding services.
