Chapter IV DTV&DVB By Theerayod Wiangtong, PhD., DIC Mahanakorn University of Technology
Part I: Shifting from Analog to Digital Television System
History of Television • First Monochrome Broadcast of Electronic Television in England, 1936 • Introduction of Color Television based on the three primary colors, ~1968 • Digital Television is the next big revolution in television, ~2000-2006 • multimedia standards converge under the digiTV standards • services can be experienced whenever, and wherever the consumer wants • enhanced quality, multiplication of channels, interactivitiy, access to Internet services • interacting with content is the major issue
Color TV systems • Analog Color TV systems: Video Production, Transmission, and Reception.
Why not using RGB directly? • R,G,B components are correlated • Transmitting R,G,B components separately is redundant • More efficient use of bandwidth is desired • RGB->YC1C2 transformation • Decorrelating: Y,C1,C2 are uncorrelated • C1 and C2 require lower bandwidth • Y (luminance) component can be received by B/W TV sets Color transformation is a compromised solution, but the ultimate one

4:3 Aspect Ratio 16:9 Aspect Ratio Why Digital Television? • Digital carrier can transmit any digital content • The television content is sent as data • Revolutionary Change • Existing TV sets will not receive it • Totally separate physical plant
The Digital TV Experience • Improved picture quality • Analog with weaker and weaker signals • Digital with weaker and weaker signals • Program guide information • Display depends on TV or receiver • Virtual channel numbers • Multicasting
Digital Television (DTV) • Three major standards for DTV: DVB (Europe), ATSC (U.S), and ISDB (Japan) • Analog Switch-off: (e.g. Netherlands (Dec 06), Belgium (Jan 2007), USA (Feb 09))
Comparison of Classic Analogueand Modern Digital TV • Digital TV from the technological viewpoint enables: • Higher video quality (e.g. high-definition-TV) • Higher audio quality (e.g. 5.1 Dolby surround) • TV equipment is equipped with small-sized computer a-like software • Internet connection on TV-equipment • New content forms as known from the Internet (e.g. MPEG-4 support, HTML)

DTV Formats • HDTV - High Definition TV – 720p vertical scanning lines or higher – 1920x1080 is true HDTV – 16:9 aspect ratio • EDTV - Enhanced Definition TV – 480p vertical scanning lines or higher – Aspect ratio not specified • SDTV - Standard Definition TV – Digital reception but can be less than EDTV resolution – Aspect ratio not specified
Around the World Lähde: DVB
MPEG-2 Program Stream • Combines one or more Packetised Elementary Streams (PES), which have a common time-base, into a single stream • Designed for use in relatively error-free environments (e.g. digital storage) and suitable for applications which may involve software processing • Program stream packets may be of variable and relatively great length
MPEG-2 Transport Stream • Combines one or more Packetised Elementary Streams (PES) with one or more independent time bases into a single stream (sometimes called multiplex) • Designed for use in environments where errors are likely, such as transmission in lossy or noisy media • The transport stream is made of packets with fixed length of 188 bytes

HDTV SDTV Data Null Different Resolution • DTV sends a stream of digital packets • >103,000 packets per second (188 bits/packet) • The packet header identifies the packet as High Definition TV, SDTV, MP3 files, Web pages, Databases or other content
Streaming data • Digital Television is a 19.39 Mbps “pipe” • MPEG-2 native transport, but IP can be encapsulated • Bandwidth required for DTV varies from 3.5 Mbps to 19.39 Mbps • Data can use opportunistic to 15.9 Mbps • Rates will improve over time

DVB Standard • DVB uses the MPEG-2 Transport Stream to carry it’s data • DVB has added some features in the MPEG-2 standard (the MPEG standard had a door open for future additions to the standard) • Can deliver to the home almost anything that can be digitized: • High Definition Television (HDTV) • Standard Definition Television (PAL / NTSC, SECAM) • New broadband multimedia data and interactive services
DVB Sub-standards • There are several sub-standards of the DVB standard • DVB-S (Satellite) – using QPSK – 40 Mb/s • DVB-T (Terrestrial) – using OFDM – 24 Mb/s • DVB-C (Cable) – using QAM – 50 Mb/s • DVB-IPI (IPTV) – IP-based NW)
DVB Block Diagram To encode and compress television video stream Raw PAL TV signal would need 864 MBit/s! MPEG-2 reduces this to 2–8 MBit/s Packetized Elementary Streams (PES) Different data streams of each single TV channel Max. 64 KByte per packet
DVB Block Diagram • Forward Error Correction (FEC) with Reed Solomon Code • Adds 16 Bytes to 188 Byte transport stream packets • Enables receiver to correct up to 8 destroyed bytes • Reed Solomon Decoder can set “Transport Error Indicator” to signal error condition to upper layers • Disadvantage: delays signal due to time necessary for FEC calculation and • error correction
