20、his ETSI Technical Report (ETR) has been produced under the authority of the Joint Technical Committee (JTC) of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Comit Europen de Normalisation ELECtrotechnique (CENELEC) and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). This ETR is based on the DV
21、B document TM1324, rev. X / 162 rev. 13, and it may be converted into a standard after market feedback. For this purpose, the wording of a standard (normative elements) rather than of a technical report (informative elements) has been used. ETRs are informative documents resulting from ETSI studies
22、which are not appropriate for European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) or Interim European Telecommunication Standard (I-ETS) status. An ETR may be used to publish material which is either of an informative nature, relating to the use or the application of ETSs or I-ETSs, or which is immature and n
23、ot yet suitable for formal adoption as an ETS or an I-ETS. NOTE: The EBU/ETSI JTC was established in 1990 to co-ordinate the drafting of standards in the specific field of broadcasting and related fields. Since 1995 the JTC became a tripartite body by including in the Memorandum of Understanding als
24、o CENELEC, which is responsible for the standardization of radio and television receivers. The EBU is a professional association of broadcasting organizations whose work includes the Co-ordination of its members activities in the technical, legal, programme-making and programme-exchange domains. The
25、 EBU has active members in about 60 countries in the European broadcasting area; its headquarters is in Geneva *. * European Broadcasting Union Case Postale 67 CH-1 21 8 GRAND SACONNEX (Geneva) Switzerland Tel: +41 22 717 21 11 Fax: +41 22 717 24 81 Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) Project Founded i
26、n September 1993, the DVB Project is a market-led consortium of public and private sector organizations in the television industry. Its aim is to establish the framework for the introduction of MPEGP based digital television services. Now comprising over 200 organizations from more than 25 countries
27、 around the world, DVB fosters market-led systems, which meet the real needs, and economic circumstances, of the consumer electronics and the broadcast industry. STD-ETSI ETR 211-ENGL 1997 W 3400855 0217793 II23 rn Page 7 ETR 21 1 : August 1997 1 Scope The present document provides implementation gu
28、idelines for the use and implementation of the DVB Service Information (SI) coding in a DVB digital TV environment including satellite- cable- and terrestrial networks. The guidelines are intended to be highly recommended rules for the usage of the DVB SI syntax specified in EN 300 468 l. As such, t
29、hey facilitate the efficient and reliable implementation of basic user-interaction functions in Integrated Receiver-Decoders (IRD). The rules apply to broadcasters, network operators as well as manufacturers. The rules are specified in the form of constraints on the DVB SI streams or in terms of int
30、ended interpretation by IRDs. The specification of these functions in no way prohibits IRD manufacturers from including additional features, and should not be interpreted as stipulating any form of upper limit to the performance. The guidelines do not cover features related to user-interface details
31、 or advanced Electronic Program Guides (EPG). Such issues are left to the marketplace. NOTE: It is highly recommended that the IRD should be designed to allow for future compatible extensions to the DVB SI syntax. All the fields “reserved“ (for ISO), “reservedfuture-use“ (for ETSI), and “user define
32、d“ in the EN 300 468 I should be ignored by IRDs designed not to make use of them. The “reserved“ and “reservedfuture-use“ fields may be specified in the future by the respective bodies, whereas the “user defined“ fields will not be standardized. The present document uses the terminology defined in
33、EN 300 468 l and should be read in conjunction with that ETS. 2 References For the purposes of the present document, the following references apply: I 31 51 EN 300 468: “Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB); Specification for Service Information (SI) in DVB systems“.

37、les a sequence of events or programmes to be delivered to the viewer based upon a schedule. component (ELEMENTARY Stream): One or more entities which together make up an event, e.g. video, audio, Teletext. Conditional Access (CA) system: A system to control subscriber access to services, programmes
38、and events e.g. Videoguard, Eurocrypt. delivery system: The physical medium by which one or more multiplexes are transmitted e.g. satellite system, wide-band coaxial cable, fibre optics, terrestrial channel of one emitting point. event: A grouping of elementary broadcast data streams with a defined
39、start and end time belonging to a common service, e.g. first half of a football match, News Flash, first part of an entertainment show. MPEG-2: Refers to the standard ISO/IEC 13818. Systems coding is defined in part 1. Video coding is defined in part 2. Audio coding is defined in part 3. multiplex:
40、A stream of all the digital data carrying one or more services within a single physical channel. network: A collection of MPEG-2 TS multiplexes transmitted on a single delivery system, e.g. all digital channels on a specific cable system. section: A section is a syntactic structure used for mapping
41、all service information into ISO/IEC 13818-1 2 Transport Stream (TS) packets. programme: A concatenation of one or more events under the control of a broadcaster e.g. news show, entertainment show. service: A sequence of programmes under the control of a broadcaster which can be broadcast as part of
42、 a schedule. Service Information (SI): Digital data describing the delivery system, content and scheduling/timing of broadcast data streams etc. It includes MPEG-2 Program Specific Information (PSI) together with independently defined extensions. sub-table: A sub-table is comprised of a number of se
43、ctions with the same value of table-id, table-idextension and versionnumber. The table-id-extension field is equivalent to the fourth and fifth byte of a section when the section-syntax-indicator is set to a value of “1“. table: A table is comprised of a number of sections with the same value of tab
44、le-id. Transport Stream US): A data structure defined in IS0 13818-1 2. It is the basis of the DVB standards.
