  10. WG Broadcasting • networks : satellite DVB-S2 , cable, DTT, ADSL 2+ low capability for DTT and ADSL  new video compression needed • HD compression video format : MPEG4-H264, VC1,…  MPEG4-H264 has been adopted by DVB on October 2004

  11. Titre de la diapositive base Compression efficiency Quatre fois la bande passante demande un codage plus performant Algorithm progress complexity MPEG-2 MPEG 2 all features implemented MPEG4 all/most features implemented MPEG-4 part 2 Bande Passant Data rate for samequality First real time implementation H264 / MPEG-4 AVC 2nd phase features, double pass etc Time From Ken McCann, DVB-AVC group chairn Reducing bit rate and keep same quality needs an advanced video codec Algorithm progress complexity MPEG-2 MPEG 2 all features implemented MPEG4 all features implemented MPEG-4 part 2 First real time implementation H264 / MPEG-4 AVC 2nd phase features, double pass etc Time From Ken McCann, DVB-AVC group

  12. WG HD Formats & Production Equipments • 1080i25 versus 720p50 : quality comparison : with new displays with full HD capability 1080x1920 no more discussion  1080i is better than 720p range of equipments : 1080i25  complete chain equipment production is available 720p50  very few of equipments in 50 Hz

  13. WG HD Formats & Production Equipments • 1080i25 versus 720p50 : quality comparison : with new displays with full HD capability 1080x1920 no more discussion  1080i is better than 720p range of equipments : 1080i25  complete chain equipment production is available 720p50  very few of equipments in 50 Hz HD Forum Recommendation • standardization for both 1080i25 and 720p50

  14. WG Consumer Electronic Equipments • displays : HD label needed mandatory specifications Inputs : 1080i25 and 720p50 resolution : minimum of 720 lines, no minimum for vertical resolution 16/9 screen format physical connectors : YPrPb (analog component) AND DVI or HDMI content protection : HDCP on digital inputs

  15. WG Consumer Electronic Equipments • displays : HD label needed mandatory specifications Inputs : 1080i25 and 720p50 resolution : minimum of 720 lines, no minimum for vertical resolution 16/9 screen format physical connectors : YPrPb (analog component) AND DVI or HDMI content protection : HDCP on digital inputs HD Forum supports the “HD ready” label from EICTA HD Forum adopt “HD ready” and will communicate on this in France

  16. WG Consumer Electronic Equipments • displays : HD label needed mandatory specifications Inputs : 1080i25 and 720p50 resolution : minimum of 720 lines, no minimum for vertical resolution 16/9 screen format physical connectors : YPrPb (analog component) AND DVI or HDMI content protection : HDCP on digital inputs HD Forum supports the “HD ready” label from EICTA HD Forum adopt “HD ready” and will communicate on this in France • Display peripheral equipments : HD recorder (hard disk, DVD’s), …. minimal spec needed for in/out connectors, formats in/out, …on process

  17. WG ad-hoc “Basic HD set-top-box specifications” HD Forum work on process has based its work on the IEC 62216 specification document First priority Receiver capabilities Video System characteristics Video Display formatting Multiplex and transport stream characteristics Second step Subtitling Digital Interface Active Format Descriptor Service and program specific information Not concerned CA systems Return channel tuners interactive services

  18. WG Contribution links preservation of the final quality distribution best quality for the primary transport acceptable price • WG ad-hoc “Digital PAD” this new Working group will start its work next days
