  1. University of Canberra Advanced Communications Topics Television Broadcasting into the Digital Era Lecture 3 Audio/Video Compression MPEG-2 Multiplexing by: Neil Pickford

  2. Enabling Technologies • Source digitisation (Rec 601 digital studio) • Compression technology (MPEG, AC-3) • Data multiplexing (MPEG) • Display technology (large wide screens) • Transmission technology (modulation) • Production

  3. Video Bitrate - HDTV • 2 M pixels * 25 pictures * 3 colours * 8 bits = 1.24416 G bits / sec for Interlace Scan or = 2.4833 G bits / sec for Progressive We need to Compress this a bit!

  4. Compression Technology • When low bandwidth analog information is digitised the result is high amounts of digital information. 5 MHz bandwidth analog TV pictureº170 - 270 Mb/s digital data stream. • 270 Mb/s would require a bandwidth of at least 140 MHz to transport • Compression of the information is required

  5. Compression - Types • Two types of compression available • Loss-less compression 2 to 5 times • Lossy compression 5 to 250 times

  6. Compression - Loss-less Types • Picture differences - temporal • Run length data coding - GIF • 101000100010001001101 = 1 + 4x0100 + 1101 • 21 bits source = 12 bits compressed • Huffman coding - PKZIP • Short codes for common blocks • Longer codes for uncommon blocks • Lookup tables

  7. Compression - Lossy Types • Quantisation - rounding • Motion vectors • Prediction & interpolation • Fractal coding • Discrete cosine transform (DCT)

  8. Compression - DCT 8x8 Pixels

  9. MPEG-2 - I, P & B Frames Uncompressed SDTV Digital Video Stream - 170 Mb/s Picture 830kBytes Picture 830kBytes Picture 830kBytes Picture 830kBytes I Frame B Frame B Frame P Frame 100 kBytes 12 kBytes 12 kBytes 33 kBytes MPEG-2 Compressed SDTV Digital Video Stream - 3.9 Mb/s • I - intra picture coded without reference to other pictures. Compressed using spatial redundancy only • P - predictive picture coded using motion compensated prediction from past I or P frames • B - bidirectionally-predictive picture using both past and future I or P frames

  10. MPEG-2 - Formats ML & HL • MPEG-2 defines profiles & levels • They describe sets of compression tools • DTTB uses main profile. • Choice of levels • Higher levels include lower levels Level resolution Low level (LL) 360 by 288 SIF Main level (ML) 720 by 576 SDTV High level (HL) 1920 by 1152 HDTV

  12. MP@ML MP@HL All decoders sold in Australia will be MP@HL capable allowing all viewers access to HD resolution when it becomes available

  13. Digital Audio - Multichannel • Two sound coding systems exist for Digital TV • MPEG 1 & 2 • Dolby AC-3 • Cover a wide variety of Audio Applications • DVB • VCD and S-VCD • DAB, DBS, DVD • Cinema (Film) • Computer Operating Systems (Windows) • Professional (ISDN codecs, tapeless studio, ….)

  14. Multichannel Sound TV CLFE R L Ls Rs

  15. Masking • Both use perceptual audio coding that exploits a psychoacoustic effect known as masking

  16. Multichannel Sound - MPEG 1/2 • MPEG Audio Layer II was developed in conjunction with the European DVB technology • Uses Musicam Compression with 32 sub bands • MPEG 1 is basic Stereo 2 channel mode • MPEG 2 adds enhancement information to allow 5.1 or 7.1 channels with full backwards compatibility with the simple MPEG 1 decoders • MPEG 1 is compatible with Pro-Logic processing. • Bitrate 224 kb/s MPEG 1 • Bitrate 480 - 512 kb/s MPEG 2 5.1

  19. Multichannel Sound - Dolby AC-3 • Dolby AC-3 was developed as a 5.1 channel surround sound system from the beginning. • Compression Filter bank is 8 x greater than MPEG 2 (256) • Must always send full 5.1 channel mix One bitstream serves everyone • Decoder provides downmix for Mono, Stereo or Pro-Logic • Listener controls the dynamic range, Audio is sent clean • Bitrate 384 kb/s or 448 kb/s • Dialogue level passed in bit-stream

  23. Problem of AC-3 • An AC-3 stereo decoder is more complex than an AC-3 multichannel decoder • With AC-3, end users with stereo receivers must pay extra so that others can enjoy multichannel sound

  28. All major MPEG-2 Video decoders incorporate 2-channel or 5.1 channel MPEG-2 Audio Several dedicated MPEG-2 multichannel decoders More than 100 Million decoders world-wide Widely Available

  29. Studio Multichannel Sound • Present AES3 PCM Audio does not cater for 5.1 channel surround. • Dolby has produced a system called Dolby E • Handles 6-8 audio inputs • Uses low compression 3-4:1 • Can be transported/stored on 2ch PCM audio equipment • Incorporates time stamps and is segmented at the video frame rate allowing editing on video frame boundaries

  30. Satellite (DBS) DVB-S Program interchange Direct view / pay TV SMATV Digital Television - Types Downlink Uplink

  31. Cable HFC - pay TV MATV DVB-C / 16-VSB Digital Television - Types Fibre Main Coax Spur Tee Tap

  32. Digital Television - Types • Terrestrial (DTTB) • DVB-T / 8-VSB • Free to air TV (broadcasting) • Narrowcasting/value added services • Untethered - portable reception

  33. Enabling Technologies • Source digitisation (Rec 601 digital studio) • Compression technology (MPEG, AC-3) • Data multiplexing (MPEG) • Display technology (large wide screens) • Transmission technology (modulation) • Production

  34. MPEG-2 • Compresses source video, audio & data • Segments video into I, P & B frames • Generates system control data • Packetises elements into data stream • Multiplexes program elements - services • Multiplexes services - transport stream • Organises transport stream data into 188 byte packets

  38. Set top Box (STB) - Interfacing • Domestic and Professional interfaces still to be defined • Most probably Transport Stream via IEEE 1394 (Firewire) • Baseband Audio & RGB/YUV Video signals. • STB can convert between line standardsso you do not have to have a HD display. • Display and transmitted information must be at same Frame/Field rate. (25/50)

  39. DTTB - Content & Services • DTTB was designed to carry video, audio and program data for television • DTTB can carry much more than just TV • Electronic program guide, teletext • Broadband multimedia data, news, weather • Best of internet service • Interactive services • Software updates, games • Services can be dynamically reconfigured

  40. DVB Data Containers • MPEG Transport Stream is used to provide DVB “data containers” which may contain a flexible mixture of: • Video • Audio • Data services • Streams with variable data rate requirements can be Statistically Multiplexed together. • Allows Six 2 Mb/s programs to be placed in a 8 Mb/s channel

  41. Examples of DVB Data Containers SDTV 1 HDTV 1 SDTV 2 HDTV 1 SDTV 3 SDTV 4 SDTV 5 SDTV 1 Multiple SDTV programs Single HDTV program Simulcast HDTV & SDTV Channel bandwidth can be used in different ways:

  42. Video Program Capacity • 1 HDTV service - sport & high action • 2 HDTV services - both film material • 1 HDTV + 1 or 2 SDTV non action/sport • 3 SDTV for high action & sport video • 6 SDTV for film, news & soap operas However you do not get more for nothing. • More services means less quality For a payload of around 19 Mb/s

  43. Spare Data Capacity • Spare data capacity is available even on a fully loaded channel. • Opportunistic use of spare data capacity when available can provide other non real time data services. • Example: 51 secondBMW commercial The Commercial wasshown using 1080 Lines Interlaced. 60 Mb of data was transferred during it. In the Final 3 seconds the BMW Logo was displayed allowing 3 Phone Books of data to be transmitted.
