“A Path Towards Digital Video Communications at Home” “A path towards digital video communications at home” “A PATH TOWARDS DIGITAL VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS AT HOME” Master Thesis by Amin Ben Hossain García Amin Ben Hossain García 2009 1 “A path towards digital video communications at home” Abstract A century earlier the fact of viewing something on a screen that sometimes it's happening right in the moment was totally unbelievable. The big discovery of the TV was just the first step of a huge amount of researches that developed the image/audio transmission systems. Nowadays we are immersed in a digital age and this is why in this project is explained the main available digital video transmission systems. As the title try to show, has had a long path until the possibility of using digital video at home, but this “path” has two meanings: the historical path and the physical path. The first one begins with the analog standards and ends with the actual most advanced wireless digital transmission systems. The second one, begins in the television station and ends with the use of digital transmission devices in our own houses. The standards and technologies chosen with the purpose to explain this “path” are the following: three analog standards (NTSC, PAL and SECAM), five broadcast digital standards (DVB-S, DVB- C, DVB-T, DVBT2 and ATSC although the most important for this project are DVB-T and ATSC) and finally two indoor digital technologies (UWB and WirelessHD). Every standard is going to be described in several facets: how it works, the physical medium used, a few about source coding, channel coding, modulation, channel capacity (data rates), power features, SNR ratio, bandwidth, carrier frequency, noise and other types of interferences, etc. However not every standard will be described very deeply in every aspect, it depends on the importance of the standard for the Master Thesis and the importance of the own aspect for each standard. Apart from describing the standards and technologies is very useful the comparison between them in order to make clear the advantages and disadvantages and allow the user to choose the most suitable technology to be applied.

Introduction Since this project is mainly about digital video transmission systems, it was thought to put the analog standards in this chapter. However without these analog standards the digital ones would not exist, so it's important to explain properly how they work although this introduction could seem a bit long. 1.1 Digital video background There are three analog standards for television. The reason for a country to have chosen to use one of the possible standards could be technical, geographical, political or even historical. Whatever is the reason, is going to be explained how these standards work, specially talking about the transmission aspects and without going very deep into other issues. The aim of this chapter is to give a background to the digital video transmission which is our goal in this master thesis, so the main analog video transmission issues are going to be described so we can see the evolution once we have studied the digital one. 1.1.1 NTSC NTSC (National Television System Committee) was the first widely adopted broadcast color system. Some matters about the modulation used in this standard, like for example kind of modulation, bandwidth, carrier frequency, etc, are going to be explained. In the next picture we can see the spectrum of a NTSC signal channel. Figure 1.1: NTSC spectrum [30] Amin Ben Hossain García 2009 5 “A path towards digital video communications at home” In the figure above the luminance luminance the monochrome signal or “black and white” signal that is represented by Y and the chrominance is the signal that carries the color and can be blue ( B ), red ( R ) or green ( G). The modulation used is amplitude modulation (both for luminance and chrominance) for the video signal and frequency modulation for the audio signal. The color modulation is quadrature amplitude modulation with suppressed carrier (that means that has been removed the carrier to waste power as less as possible in the transmission).[7] The reason for being quadrature amplitude modulation is because we have to separate the red and the blue signal by making them orthogonals. This is because the color space is three dimensional by the nature of the human vision, so we have to carry the luminance, that is the monochrome signal and we still have to carry other two dimensions. Typically the two color signals that are carried are R and B because their signal difference with luminance is stronger than the signal difference between the green and luminance. We can see better the quadrature amplitude modulation in the following picture: Figure 1.2: Chrominance quadrature amplitude [7] The video signal carrier is on the left side of the figure (fc) and it is 1.25 MHz above the lower limit of the channel . The next carrier (from left to right) is the color subcarrier (faub) and is 3.579545 MHz far from the video carrier. The audio carrier (fsound) is 4.5 MHz far from the video carrier. [1] The total bandwidth of a channel in this standard is 6 MHz. The spectrum structure is as it follows: we have a guard band of 250 KHz in the lowest part of the spectrum of each channel that separate each channel from the next one. The video signal is transmitted between 500 kHz and 5.45 MHz above the lower bound of the channel. The highest 25 kHz of each channel contains the audio Amin Ben Hossain García 2009 6 “A path towards digital video communications at home” signal.[1] NTSC uses VSB-AM. What does that mean? The video carrier generates two sidebands as we can see in the figure 1.3. Each sideband has 4.2 MHz . The whole upper sideband is transmitted, but only 750 kHz of the

Cosman† and Laurence B. Milstein† †ECE Dept., University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA ‡ICE Dept., Dongguk University, Seoul, Korea Abstract—Progressive image and scalable video have gradual quality. Since these progressive transmissions have gradual differences of importance in their bitstreams, which can benefit differences of importance in their bitstreams, a large number from multiple levels of unequal error protection (UEP). Though of error protection levels are required. However, hierarchical hierarchical modulation has been intensively studied as an UEP approach for digital broadcasting and multimedia transmission, modulation can achieve only a limited number of UEP levels methods of achieving a large number of UEP levels have rarely for a given constellation size. For example, hierarchical 16 been studied. In this paper, we propose a multilevel UEP system QAM provides two levels of UEP, and hierarchical 64 QAM using multiplexed hierarchical quadrature amplitude modulation yields at most three levels [11]. In the DVB-T standard, video (QAM) for progressive transmission over mobile radio channels. data encoded by MPEG-2 consists of two different layers, We suggest a specific way of multiplexing, and prove that multiple levels of UEP are achieved by the suggested method.

  • TVP5160 3DYC Operation
    Application Report SLEA109–April 2011 TVP5160 3DYC Operation ..................................................................................................................................................... 1 Introduction The TVP5160 provides 3DYC functionality for both NTSC and PAL. This feature builds on the existing 2D 5-line comb filter and is designed to reduce the dot crawl and false color in composite video inputs by storing and processing multiple frames. By using multiple frames, the advantage of 3DYC is best seen on static images or areas within video where the scene has no motion. With areas of motion, the 2D comb filter is used; in still areas, the 3DYC is used. 2 Modes of Operation and Memory Requirements 3DYC may operate independently or concurrently with 3DNR. The various modes of operation for the 3DNR and 3DYC are listed in Table 1. Table 1. 3DYC and 3DNR Modes of Operation Memory Mode Operation Required Mode 0 3DYC + 3DNR 4MB Mode 1 3DYC only 2MB Mode 2 2D 5-line CF + 3DNR 2MB Mode 3 2D 5-line CF only (default) None 3 Technology Overview 3DYC works in parallel with the 2D comb filter based on the user settings and the level of motion detected in the video. Motion is detected by comparison of luma and chroma from three frames of the input composite signal. The frame differences are converted to absolute numbers, and a threshold is subtracted from this absolute value. The resultant difference is limited to a lower limit, gained up, and limited to an upper limit. The lower limit is indicative of 3D comb output and the upper limit is indicative of 2D comb output. The output is termed Km.

  • Hierarchical Modulation Performance Analysis: Application to DVB-SH and DVB-S2
    1 Generic Approach for Hierarchical Modulation Performance Analysis: Application to DVB-SH and DVB-S2 Hugo Meric´ ∗y,Jer´ omeˆ Lacany∗, Caroline Amiot-Bazilez, Fabrice Arnalx and Marie-Laure Boucherety∗ ∗TeSA,´ Toulouse, France yUniversite´ de Toulouse, Toulouse, France zCNES, Toulouse, France xThales Alenia Space, Toulouse, France Email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Broadcasting systems have to deal with channel variability in order to offer the best rate to the users. Hierarchical modulation is a practical solution to provide different rates to the receivers in function of the channel quality. Unfortunately, the performance evaluation of such modulations requires time consuming simulations. We propose in this paper a novel approach based on the channel capacity to avoid these simulations. The method allows to study the performance of hierarchical and also classical modulations combined with error correcting codes. We will also compare hierarchical modulation with time sharing strategy in terms of achievable rates and indisponibility. Our work will be applied to the DVB-SH and DVB-S2 standards, which both consider hierarchical modulation as an optional feature. arXiv:1103.1742v1 [cs.IT] 9 Mar 2011 Index Terms Hierarchical Modulation, Channel Capacity, Digital Video Broadcasting, System Performance. I. INTRODUCTION In most broadcast applications, all the receivers do not experience the same signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). For instance, in satellite communications the channel quality decreases with the presence of clouds in Ku or Ka band, or with shadowing effects of the environment in lower bands. The material in this paper will be presented in part at WTS 2011, New-York, United States, April 2011.
