No part of this publication may be reproduced, by any means whatsoever, without the prior written permission of ITU. Handbook on digital terrestrial television broadcasting networks and systems implementation iii Editors’ Foreword In 2002 ITU published its first Handbook on digital terrestrial television under the title Digital terrestrial television broadcasting in the VHF/UHF bands1 as guidance to engineers responsible for the implementation of digital terrestrial television broadcasting (DTTB). In the Handbook, new digital broadcasting technologies were explained in detail, for example a splendid description of the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coding that is the basis of all past and present TV compression systems, as well as a very instructive chapter on signal power summation. Most of that content are not repeated in this new Handbook on digital terrestrial television broadcasting networks and systems implementation. Therefore, the version 1.01, which was published by ITU in the year 2002, has not lost value and should still be consulted. Since 2002, DTTB has tremendously evolved, not only in technical but also in regulatory aspects. For example, at the turn of the century, MPEG had just started to develop the compression scheme MPEG-4, and HEVC was not known at all. In two sessions, in 2004 and 2006, the important ITU Regional Radiocommunication Conference RRC-06 was held in Geneva and agreed a new frequency plan for digital broadcasting in Region 1 (except Mongolia) and in Iran. For all UHF stations, the Conference decided that the transition period from analogue to digital broadcasting would take place by 15 June 2015. Today, majority of developed countries have already introduced digital TV broadcasting and have closed their analogue TV services. However, many developing countries have just started Successive WRCs have identified new spectrum for the mobile service in the traditional UHF broadcasting bands. Consequently, spectrum for terrestrial TV broadcasting as well as for services ancillary to programme making or broadcasting (SAP/SAB) became scarcer within the existing UHF broadcasting bands. More spectrum efficient transmission and compression schemes can only partly compensate for that loss as new requirements for improved resolution, such as HDTV and UHDTV, demand significantly higher data rates. Also, new formats for multi-channel sound can need substantial amounts of transmitted data. So do the ever- increasing amount of metadata and access services. Today, with the advent of broadband IP networks (wired and wireless), interactivity has become commonplace. Most modern TV sets are equipped with an interface for DSL or Wi-Fi in addition to the traditional antenna input for digital terrestrial, satellite and/or cable TV. This new ITU Handbook, entitled Digital terrestrial television broadcasting networks and systems implementation, concentrates on these new developments during the last 15 years. In this context, it complements ITU-D Guidelines for the transition from analogue to digital broadcasting2 which made use of technical, operational and procedural information from the ITU Radiocommunication Sector and directed itself primarily to the analogue-to-digital switchover in developing countries. Numerous experts of ITU-R Working Party 6A (Terrestrial broadcasting delivery) and of the parent ITU-R Study Group 6 (Broadcasting service) have been involved in the development of this new Handbook. The names of these contributors are listed in the Acknowledgements section. ____________________ 1 ITU-R DTTB Handbook – Digital terrestrial television broadcasting in the VHF/UHF bands V 1.01, ref. https://www.itu.int/pub/R-HDB-39 2 ITU-D Guidelines for the transition from analogue to digital broadcasting, ref. https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Regional-Presence/AsiaPacific/Documents/AtoDguidelinesV3.pdf iv Handbook on digital terrestrial television broadcasting networks and systems implementation However, one person must be mentioned here because of his outstanding dedication: most thanks go to the principal author, Professor Oleg Gofaizen (Ukraine), who led the process of writing this Handbook and who tirelessly acted towards its completion.

  • History of the DVB Project
    History of the DVB Project (This article was written by David Wood around 2013.) Introduction The DVB Project is an Alliance of about 200 companies, originally of European origin but now worldwide. Its objective is to agree specifications for digital media delivery systems, including broadcasting. It is an open, private sector initiative with an annual membership fee, governed by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Until late 1990, digital television broadcasting to the home was thought to be impractical and costly to implement. During 1991, broadcasters and consumer equipment manufacturers discussed how to form a concerted pan-European platform to develop digital terrestrial TV. Towards the end of that year, broadcasters, consumer electronics manufacturers and regulatory bodies came together to discuss the formation of a group that would oversee the development of digital television in Europe. This so-called European Launching Group (ELG) expanded to include the major European media interest groups, both public and private, the consumer electronics manufacturers, common carriers and regulators. It drafted the MoU establishing the rules by which this new and challenging game of collective action would be played. The concept of the MoU was a departure into unexplored territory and meant that commercial competitors needed to appreciate their common requirements and agendas. Trust and mutual respect had to be established. The MoU was signed by all ELG participants in September 1993, and the Launching Group renamed itself as the Digital Video Broadcasting Project (DVB). Development work in digital television, already underway in Europe, moved into top gear. Around this time a separate group, the Working Group on Digital Television, prepared a study of the prospects and possibilities for digital terrestrial television in Europe.

  • The Transition to Digital Television: Is America Ready?
    The Transition to Digital Television: Is America Ready? Lennard G. Kruger Specialist in Science and Technology Policy May 14, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL34165 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress The Transition to Digital Television: Is America Ready? Summary The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-171), as amended by the DTV Delay Act, directs that on June 12, 2009, all over-the-air full-power television broadcasts—which are currently provided by television stations in both analog and digital formats—will become digital only. Digital television (DTV) technology allows a broadcaster to offer a single program stream of high definition television (HDTV), or alternatively, multiple video program streams (multicasts). Households with over-the-air analog-only televisions will no longer be able to receive full-power television service unless they either: (1) buy a digital-to-analog converter box to hook up to their analog television set; (2) acquire a digital television or an analog television equipped with a digital tuner; or (3) subscribe to cable, satellite, or telephone company television services, which will likely provide for the conversion of digital signals to their analog customers. The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 established a digital-to-analog converter box program— administered by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) of the Department of Commerce—that partially subsidizes consumer purchases of converter boxes. NTIA provides up to two forty-dollar coupons to requesting U.S. households. The coupons are being issued between January 1, 2008, and July 31, 2009, and must be used within 90 days after issuance towards the purchase of a stand-alone device used solely for digital-to-analog conversion.

SPONS AGENCY National Science Foundation, Washington, D.C. REPORT NO M-73-40 PUB DATE Mar 73 NOTE 62p.; Paper presented at the Seminar on the Promise of Cable and Satellite Communications EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS *Cable Television; Communication *Computers; Information Needs; Information F zieval; Information Storage; Information Systems; Interaction; *Man Machine systems; *Metropolitan Areas; State of the Art Reviews; *Telecommunication; Urban Areas IDENTIFIERS Broadband Communications; CATV; Wideband Cable ABSTRACT During the present decade cable television (CATV) systems will be franchised in most metropolitan areas of the nation. Previously, CATV has mainly transmitted over-the-air broadcast signals to small communities, but in the urban setting the capabilities of wideband cable (e.g., 30 channels per cable) can be expanded and applied to new communication needs. First, however, CATV must outgrow its identity as a retransmitter and become the medium for delivering a wide range of broadband communications services. Linked with computers, interactive cable systems can serve social, cultural, civic, education, governmental, business and commercial interests. The utility and importance of interactive CATV systems stem from the follcwing characteristics: 1) they are individualized and respond instantly, privately, and economically to the user's needs; 2) they are computerized, offering search and calculation capabilities otherwise not available; 3) they provide unlimited points of entry aLd delivery of information, in addition to controlled storage, access, and retrieval; and 4) they are multimedia, encompassing video, audio, graphics, pictures, and alphanumeric text, and offer the potential of a common carrier between people.

  • Mixed Reality Technologies for Immersive Interactive Broadcast
    MIXED REALITY TECHNOLOGIES FOR IMMERSIVE INTERACTIVE BROADCAST O. Schreer1, W. Waizenegger1, W. Fernando2, H. Kodikara Arachchi2, A. Oehme3, A. Smolic4, B. Yargicoglu5, A. Akman5, U. Curjel6 1Fraunhofer HHI, Germany; 2University of Surrey, UK; 3HFC Human- Factors-Consult, Germany; 4Disney Research Zurich, Switzerland; 5Argela, Turkey; 6SRF, Switzerland ABSTRACT Up until now, TV has been a one-to-many proposition apart from a few exceptions. The TV Stations produced and packaged their shows and the consumers had to tune in at a specific time to watch their favourite show. However, new technologies are changing the way we watch and produce television programs. For example, viewers often use second screen applications and are engaged in lively discussions via social media channels while watching TV. Nevertheless, immediate live interaction with broadcast media is still not possible. In this paper, the latest results of the European funded project ACTION-TV, which is developing novel forms of user interaction based on advanced Computer Vision and Mixed-Reality technologies, are presented. The aim of this research project is to let viewers actively participate in pre-produced live-action television shows. This expands the horizon of the interactive television concept towards engaging television shows. The paper explains the concept, challenges and solutions resulting in a first prototype real-time demonstrator for novel interactive TV services. INTRODUCTION ACTION-TV [1] proposes an innovative mode of user interaction for broadcasting to relax the rigid and passive nature of present broadcasting ecosystems. It has two key aims: (i) a group of users can take part in TV shows providing a sense of immersion into the show and seamless natural engagement with the content; (ii) users are encouraged to use TV shows as a means of social engagement while keeping themselves and their talents more visible across social circles.

  • Ensuring PMCP/PSIP Interoperability
    June 30, 2008 Ensuring PMCP/PSIP Interoperability Recognizing the need for improved industry-wide PMCP interoperability, and thus more accurate PSIP, the ATSC has formed a new Working Group on PSIP Workflow Interoperability, PC-7. This group, reports to the ATSC’s Planning Committee and is chaired by Chris Lennon of Harris Corporation, who provided this contribution to TV TechCheck. For those not familiar with it, PMCP (ATSC Standard A/76B) is the Programming Metadata Communication Protocol. It provides a standardized means of communicating PSIP-related data among the systems that manage it. PMCP has been around for some time, and has recently enjoyed a significant uptake in the industry as interest in and awareness of the need for dynamic, accurate PSIP increases. Part of the scope of the ATSC Planning Committee is to “support the use of ATSC standards and recommended practices through activities such as education, training, demonstrations and fostering interoperability.” The goal of the PC-7 Working Group is to assemble a group of broadcasters and vendors who are implementing (or plan to implement) dynamic PSIP by way of PMCP interfaces between systems such as listing services, program management, traffic, automation, and PSIP generator systems. The group will work to improve interoperability of these systems by way of information exchange regarding PMCP and implementation issues, both on regular conference calls, and at one or more in-person interoperability sessions in Toronto in late Fall 2008. The PC-7 Working Group hopes to provide members a forum in which vendors and broadcasters can work out interoperability details in an open, cooperative environment, benefiting not only the vendors, but the broadcasters who will be implementing these interfaces.
