Digital broadcasting in Japan, and R&D at NHK towards future broadcasting including UHDTV and 3DTV Yukihiro NISHIDA NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation)
Outline • Digital broadcasting in Japan • Terrestrial and satellite broadcasting • R&D at NHK towards future broadcasting • Strategy • Hybridcast • UHDTV • 3DTV • Next generation of DTTB system
History of Broadcasting in Japan 2011 1925 Radio 1953 2011 TerrestrialAnalog TV 1969 FM Radio 1984 2011 Satellite Analog TV 1989 2007 Satellite Analog HDTV 2000 Satellite Digital HDTV 2003 Terrestrial Digital HDTV 2006 For Mobile
Digital Broadcasting in Japan Satellite Terrestrial (Dec. 2000 ~) (Dec. 2003 ~) ISDB-S (Satellite) ISDB-T (Terrestrial) 12GHz band UHF band HDTV (1080) Digital receivers:114 millions (cumulative) (as of Apr. 2011) Mobile receivers: 104 millions (cumulative)(as of Mar. 2011) Fixed reception ISDB: Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting
Feature of ISDB-S (Satellite) Multiple HDTV programs and hierarchical service in a channel Example of slot allocationwithin a channel Controlledby TMCC Heavy rain Clear sky -2 slots TS 1 (HDTV) 22-slot TS 1 (HDTV) 24-slot 48-slot Symbol rate 28.86 Mbaud TC8PSK(1.08 Mbps/slot) TS 2 (HDTV) 24-slot TS 2 (HDTV) 24-slot TS 1 (LDTV)1-slot QPSK 1/2(1.08 Mbps/ 2slots) +1 slot TS 1 (LDTV) can be received even in a heavy rain.
