ITU-T Rec. D.180 (09/2005) i ITU-T Recommendation D.180 Occasional provision of circuits
9、 for international sound- and television-programme transmissions Summary This Recommendation describes the procedures to be followed by Administrations for the occasional provision of circuits for international sound- and television-programme transmissions and the charging and accounting principles
10、for this service. Source ITU-T Recommendation D.180 was approved on 16 September 2005 by ITU-T Study Group 3 (2005-2008) under the WTSA Resolution 1 approval procedure. ii ITU-T Rec. D.180 (09/2005) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in
11、the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis.
12、 The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resoluti
13、on 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and
14、 a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g. interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met.
15、 The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibil
16、ity that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Reco
17、mmendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest informatio
18、n and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database. ITU 2005 All rights reserved.

D.180 (09/2005) 1 ITU-T Recommendation D.180 Occasional provision of circuits for international sound- and television-programme transmissions 1 Scope In most cases, circuits used for sound- and television-programme transmiss
24、ions are owned by Administrations although, in some countries, national broadcasting organizations own all or part of the circuits within national boundaries. The provision of circuits for transmissions between two or more countries requires the closest cooperation between: the broadcasting organiza
25、tions1concerned in a sound- or television-programme transmission, either as users or owners of sound-programme and television circuits or both; and the Administrations concerned. It is therefore recommended that the following principles for ordering and charging should be observed for the occasional
26、 provision of sound or television circuits. This Recommendation is intended to cover the provision of circuits for sound- and television-programme transmissions only and not other types of transmissions. This Recommendation does not include provisions for the leasing for periods of one day or more o
27、f sound- and television-programme circuits, which are subject to the provisions of ITU-T Recs D.4 and D.310 R. Provisions governing the technical aspects and maintenance of sound and television programmes and associated circuits are contained in the J-, M- and N-series Recommendations. 2 References

D.180 (09/2005) 3 Definitions The terms used in connection with sound- and televi
32、sion-programme transmissions, as defined below, apply to all cases of the occasional provision of sound or television circuits. 3.1 programme booking centre (PBC) F: service centralisateur (PBC) S: centro de reserva de programas (PBC) The office of an Administration (or broadcasting organization whe
33、re circuits are provided for international service by such an organization) which receives orders for international sound and/or television circuits from broadcasting organizations in its own country or from a broadcasting organization in another country or from the PBC of another Administration and
34、 is charged with the task of making appropriate arrangements for providing the ordered circuits. 3.2 international sound-programme centre (ISPC) F: centre radiophonique international (ISPC) S: centro radiofnico internacional (ISPC) A centre at which at least one international sound-programme circuit
35、 terminates and in which international sound-programme connections can be made by the interconnection of international and/or national sound-programme circuits. The ISPC is responsible for setting up, lining up and maintaining international sound-programme connections and for the supervision of the
36、transmissions made on them. 3.3 international television-programme centre (ITPC) F: centre tlvisuel international (ITPC) S: centro internacional de televisin (ITPC) A centre at which at least one international television circuit terminates and in which international television connections can be mad
37、e by the interconnection of international and/or national television circuits. The ITPC is responsible for setting up, lining up and maintaining international television connections and for the supervision of the transmissions made on them. The centre at the end of an international satellite televis
38、ion circuit is sometimes referred to as the Satellite International Television-Programme Centre (SITPC). 3.4 broadcasting organization F: organisme de radiodiffusion S: organismo de radiodifusin A broadcasting organization is an organization which is concerned with sound and/or television broadcasti
39、ng. Most of the customers ordering facilities for sound- and television-programme transmissions are broadcasting organizations, and for convenience, the term “broadcasting organization“ is used in this Recommendation to denote activity of any user or customer, and where so used, is equally applicabl
40、e to any other customer requiring sound- or television-programme circuits. ITU-T Rec. D.180 (09/2005) 3 3.5 Categories of transmissions 3.5.1 regular transmissions are those which take place at regular intervals, at fixed times between the same points. Some regular transmissions may be subject to sp
41、ecial contractual arrangements. 3.5.2 occasional transmissions are all those which do not fall within the definition of regular transmissions. Some occasional transmissions may be subject to special contractual arrangements. 3.5.3 simple transmissions are one-way transmissions from a point of origin
42、 in one country to a receiving point in another. 3.5.4 multiple-destination transmissions are those transmissions which originate in one or more countries, from one or more points of origin, and are transmitted simultaneously to two or more countries. 3.6 Categories of circuit 3.6.1 sound-programme
43、circuit is a unidirectional circuit for the transmission of a sound programme or a sound component of a television programme2. The various types of audio circuits are described in clause 3. 3.6.2 television circuit is a unidirectional circuit for the transmission of the video component of a televisi
44、on programme. 3.6.3 control circuit is a telephone-type circuit which may be used by a broadcasting organization for the supervision and/or coordination of a sound- or television-programme transmission.33.7 Constitution of sound- and television-programme connections 3.7.1 An international sound- or
45、television-programme connection consists of one or more unidirectional circuits between broadcasting organizations and comprises: a) the point to be regarded as that of the origin of the transmission (Point A of Figures 1 and 2); b) the outgoing national circuit which connects Point A to the first I
46、SPC or ITPC (Point B); c) an international circuit comprised of any combination of international or national terrestrial, submarine cable, radio or satellite circuits or circuit sections. (A satellite circuit consists of a satellite section, including the earth stations, extended by terrestrial mean
47、s to the ISPCs or ITPCs at the ends of the satellite circuit); d) the incoming national circuit which connects the last ISPC or ITPC (Point C) to Point D; e) the point of destination of the transmission (Point D). _ 2More than one such sound-programme circuit may be required for association with a s
48、ingle television circuit. 3More than one such control circuit may be required for association with a single television circuit. 4 ITU-T Rec.
