'''Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting''' ('''ISDB'''; [[Japanese language|Japanese]]: {{nihongo2|統合デジタル放送サービス}}, ''Tōgō dejitaru hōsō sābisu'') is a Japanese broadcasting standard for [[digital television]] (DTV) and [[digital radio]].

ISDB supersedes both the [[NTSC-J]] analog television system and the previously used [[Multiple sub-Nyquist sampling encoding|MUSE]] Hi-vision analog HDTV system in Japan. An improved version of ISDB-T ([[ISDB-T International]]) will soon replace the [[NTSC]], [[PAL-M]], and [[PAL#PAL-N_(Argentina,_Paraguay_and_Uruguay)|PAL-N]] broadcast standards in [[South America]] and the [[Philippines]]. [[Digital terrestrial television|Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting]] (DTTB) services using ISDB-T started in Japan in December 2003, and since then, many countries have adopted ISDB over other digital broadcasting standards.

A newer and "advanced" version of the ISDB standard (that will eventually allow up to 8K terrestrial broadcasts and 1080p mobile broadcasts via the [[Versatile Video Coding|VVC]] codec, including [[High-dynamic-range video|HDR]] and [[High frame rate|HFR]]) is currently under development.<ref>https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-R/terrestrial/broadcast/Americas/Documents/Presentations_Panama/ISDB-T.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref><ref>https://www.nhk.or.jp/strl/ibc2019/nhk_ibc2019_flyer.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=NEC Archives|url=https://setexperience.org.br/en/patrocinador/nec-en/|access-date=2021-10-26|website=Set Experience|language=en-US}}</ref>
