The
ATSC Mobile DTV Candidate Standard
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
IEEE
Broadcast Technology Society Tutorial:
"The
ATSC Mobile DTV Standard"
2010
IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics
Sunday, January 10, 2010
The
ATSC has developed a backward-compatible standard
("ATSC Mobile DTV"), officially designated A/153,
for delivery of services to mobile and handheld
devices - including mobile phones, portable devices,
and cars - using terrestrial DTV broadcast signals.
This half-day tutorial session will cover each
of the eight parts of the specification. Each
will be presented by a technical expert deeply
involved in its development. The tutorial will
conclude with a presentation on receiver considerations
of special interest to the Consumer Electronics
audience. The session is organized by the IEEE
Broadcast Technology Society, with support from
the ATSC.
Introduction and Overview
Presenter: Tom Gurley, IEEE-BTS
Part 1 - Mobile/Handheld Digital Television
System Presenter: Jerry Whitaker, ATSC
This part of the tutorial covers the ATSC Mobile
DTV standardization process, provides an overall
system description, and ties the other parts together.
Part 2 - RF/Transmission System Characteristics
Presenter: Michael Bergman, Kenwood
This part covers the Physical Layer of the system
and includes the data structure, pre- processing,
post-processing, and final processing and modulation.
Part 3 - Service Multiplex and Transport Subsystem
Presenter: Rich Chernock, Triveni Digital
This presentation covers the management sub-layers
of the system, including transport, signaling,
file delivery, and streaming delivery.
Part 4 - Announcement (AKA Electronic Service
Guide) Presenter: Rich Chernock, Triveni
Digital
This presentation covers the Service Guide, which
delivers information about the services on the
broadcast channel. The ATSC Mobile DTV Service
Guide is adapted from the Service Guide of the
Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) BCAST specification.
Part 5 - Application Framework
Presenter: Alan Moskowitz, MobiTV
This part of the tutorial explains the need for
an application framework - which provides a rich
JavaScript-based environment for audio, video,
graphics and interactivity - and describes how
it is implemented in ATSC A/153.
Part 6 - Service Protection
Presenter: Alan Moskowitz, MobiTV
This part of the system protects the service stream
using the broadcast data path and, optionally,
a return channel. It is based on the Digital Rights
Management (DRM) profile of the Open Mobile Alliance
(OMA) BCAST specification for protection of files.
Part 7 - Video System Characteristics
Presenter: Alan Moskowitz, MobiTV
This presentation includes the ATSC requirements
for video coding, overviews of MPEG-AVC (H.264
Advanced Video Coding) and MPEG-SVC (Scalable
Video Coding), ATSC A/153 AVC and SVC coding specifications,
and RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) transport
and signaling.
Part 8 - Audio System Characteristics
Presenter: Alan Moskowitz, MobiTV
This part covers the HE AAC v2 (High Efficiency
Advanced Audio Coding) audio system. It describes
the constraints on HE AAC v2 audio and defines
the elementary stream packetization.
Receiver Considerations for ATSC Mobile DTV
Implementation
Presenter: Michael Bergman, Kenwood
This talk will highlight expected receiver features
and implementation details which should be of
interest to consumer electronics manufacturers
deploying ATSC A/153. Discussion will be wide-ranging,
to include many of the various elements of the
A/153 stack.

ABSTRACT:
3D Video and Displays This tutorial will provide
an overview of the main technologies and challenges
that are at stake to deploy 3DTV chains with and
without glasses. The session will be split into
2 parts. First we will address the near future 3DTV
application by providing hints about the various
acquisition, distribution, rendering and display
technologies that are involved to carry out a stereo
(2-Views) 3DTV channel. Second, we will review the
technology trends that have started at a R&D level
to put in place on a longer term 3DTV chains based
on multi-view content, again from acquisition to
display, that will allow enjoying 3D without glasses.
After a short introduction to present the today’s
3D market and the future potential of this business,
a detailed review will be made, for both aspects
Stereo and Multi-view, on the 3D acquisitions rules
and principles, the 3D existing or next coming transmission
formats, the various 3D display technologies that
are available today and that are going to be available
in the future, and finally the 3D rendering techniques
and challenges that have to be taken up to address
important issues linked to human factors observed
when watching 3D content (dizziness, eye fatigue,…)
Additionally to the 3D video chain, the session
will also provide clues on the necessary metadata
that have to be associated to the 3D workflow to
make the content easier to manipulate along the
chain, especially during the post-production and
rendering phases. Finally, an overview of the main
3D related standardization activities as well as
the main international collaborative programs will
be provided. |
