“…The ATSC employs the MPEG video streaming syntax for the coding of video and the ATSC standard "Digital Audio Compression (AC-3)" for the coding of audio [9,44]. The bit stream is constituted by multiplexed video bit stream packets, audio bit stream packets and data bit stream packets.…”

“…The transition process is more significant than simply purchasing a set-top box to receive Digital TV (DTV). Rather, DTV supports an enhanced level of quality and flexibility unattainable by analogue broadcasting [9]. With the advances in other consumer electronics and given the requirement of providing a high-definition picture accompanied by high-quality audio, the transition to DTV was essential for the future of television.…”

Abstract-This paper is a survey of the transmission techniques used in digital television (TV) standards worldwide. With the increase in the demand for High-Definition (HD) TV, videoon-demand and mobile TV services, there was a real need for more bandwidth-efficient, flawless and crisp video quality, which motivated the migration from analogue to digital broadcasting. In this paper we present a brief history of the development of TV and then we survey the transmission technology used in different digital terrestrial, satellite, cable and mobile TV standards in different parts of the world. First, we present the Digital Video Broadcasting standards developed in Europe for terrestrial (DVB-T/T2), for satellite (DVB-S/S2), for cable (DVB-C) and for hand-held transmission (DVB-H). We then describe the Advanced Television System Committee standards developed in the USA both for terrestrial (ATSC) and for hand-held transmission (ATSC-M/H). We continue by describing the Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting standards developed in Japan for Terrestrial (ISDB-T) and Satellite (ISDB-S) transmission and then present the International System for Digital Television (ISDTV), which was developed in Brazil by adopteding the ISDB-T physical layer architecture. Following the ISDTV, we describe the Digital Terrestrial television Multimedia Broadcast (DTMB) standard developed in China. Finally, as a design example, we highlight the physical layer implementation of the DVB-T2 standard.

“…Without the ability to provide HDTV with interactive services (video on demand), Dolby T M quality surround sound audio and some data (such as closed captioning) no media provider can survive. Although, the uncompressed bit rates for big screen HDTV is very high 1 , typically in the Gbps range, good quality HDTV is provided by 19 or 38 Mb/s with complex video and audio compression technologies [8].…”

Dominant broadband access technologies today are Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) networks. DSL leads, with global subscribers exceeding 100 million, while cable-modem subscribers worldwide total 55 million in 2005 [1]. Recently, fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-tothe-curb (FTTC) scenarios are also on the rise. In all these access networks, optical fiber plays an imperative role. Fiber carries multimedia signals such as video, audio and Internet data with a combination of subcarrier multiplexed radio over fiber (SCM-ROF) and digital baseband formats. Despite the IPTV hype, the most bandwidth hungry video (especially HDTV) is predominantly transmitted in SCM-ROF format. In addition, wireless broadband multimedia access using the ROF technique is also on the rise. Newly released 71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz, and 92-95 GHz bands for wireless multimedia delivery will trigger wide deployment of ROF technology. Therefore, ROF plays key role in both wired and wireless broadband multimedia access networks [2]. However, there are number of issues in the design and deployment of ROF links for multimedia access. Nonlinearity of the optical modulator (either direct or external); loss due to electrical-optical-electrical conversion and increasing intensity noise are key concerns. Some of our recent work involves with adaptive digital nonlinearity and noise cancelation [3], optical domain reduction in unmodulated carrier [4] and all optical de-multiplexing of closely spaced RF signals by Bragg grating filters [5] and multi system signals over fiber [6].

“…Embora o sistema ATSC defina formatos de vídeo para HDTV e SDTV [66], nos Estados Unidos, em função de seu modelo de negócios a adoção do padrão foi voltada para a utilização do HDTV [60]. Desta forma, na camada de codificação de vídeo é utilizado o MPEG-2 HDTV.…”
