October 12–16 in Berlin • Fraunhofer Fokus

\n

17th Plugfest

\n
\n

Europe’s central interop event for hybrid TV technology.

\n

The annual Plugfest of the German TV Platform (DTVP) and the Digital Television Group (DTG) is Europe’s densest test hub for the hybrid TV and streaming world. Device manufacturers, broadcasters, platform operators, and research institutions test under one roof what otherwise only goes wrong in reality.

\n

Two events at the same location over five days: the Plugfest by DTVP and DTG (Mon–Wed, October 12–14) and the HbbTV Testing Event by the HbbTV Association (Wed–Fri, October 14–16).

Only for active participants • Registration required

\n

Five days, two events, one test hub.

\n
\n

In 2026, the focus will be on: HbbTV, streaming, immersive audio, and DVB-I, plus UHD-HDR tests via HDMI. Participants bring hardware and software just before market readiness and test interoperability in slot-based sessions with other manufacturers.

\n

The Plugfest (October 12–14) is aimed at device manufacturers, broadcasters, platform operators, technology providers, research institutions, and standardization bodies. The HbbTV Testing Event (October 14–16) is reserved for HbbTV members and serves to validate the next HbbTV Test Suite.

\n

The event is purely a work format — observers are not allowed, each participant brings devices, content, or implementations for testing.
