HDTV Standards

This document discusses HDTV standards including ATSC, DVB, and MUSE. It covers aspects like video resolutions, frame rates, and audio/video compression formats for different regions. The ATSC standard adopted in North America uses MPEG-2 video compression at resolutions up to 1080i and 720p, with Dolby Digital audio. Europe's DVB standard uses MPEG video scaling and COFDM modulation. Japan's early MUSE standard was analog HDTV.

Advanced Television Systems Committee Standards- Video


Based on ITU-R HDTV Specs.
Recommendation BT.709

1920 samples/line; 1152 lines/frame; aspect ratio 16/9


1080 lines visible Square pixels (aspect ratio 1:1)

MULTIMEDIA COMPRESSION

720p vs 1080i
Progressive scan doesnt produce flicker 1080 produces better quality when picture not moving/less moving Temporal resolution of 1080i20 (and 1080p30) is only 12% better than 720p60 1080p50 and 1080p60 are underdevelopment and deployment [2]

MULTIMEDIA COMPRESSION

ASTC - Video
720p (24,30,60 Hz or 23.976, 29.97, 59.94Hz) 1080i (29.97, 30 Hz or 60 fields/s) 1080p (limited to 30 Hz) Terrestrial transmission rate: 19.39Mbits/s
80 Mbits/s max in MP@HL theoretically 18.3Mbits/s after all overheads

1080p goes beyond this rate Progressive Segmented Frame (PsF)


MULTIMEDIA COMPRESSION 7

ASTC Audio Compression


Dolby Digital AC-3
5.1 channel sound Bitrate 192 kbps, near CD-quality

Why Dolby? [3]


Used in studios, cinemas FCC ruling for HDTV to use 5.1 channel Uses full range 3Hz 20KHz Used intensively over the years became standard
MULTIMEDIA COMPRESSION 8

Transmission - Modulation
Terrestrial Transmission using 8-VSB Controversy:
COFDM is better Multipath Interference in 8VSB

Cable: 16-VSB enabling throughput of 38 Mbps in 6MHz channel

MULTIMEDIA COMPRESSION

Digital Video Broadcast (Europe)


4/3 aspect ratio 1440 samples/line; 1152 lines per frame (1080 visible) at 25Hz Twice the resolution of PAL (720x576) SSP@H1440
Spatially-scaleable profile at high 1440 Similar to MP@HL of MPEG-2

Audio Compression: MPEG Audio Layer 2 Modulation: COFDM


8MHz channel 24 Mbps bandwidth Immune to multipath effect
MULTIMEDIA COMPRESSION 10

SSP@H1440
Spatial scalability:[4] Designed to support different spatial resolution displays One common bitstream Base Layer: encodes a spatially down-sampled video sequence Enhancement layer: encodes extra information for higher spatial resolution displays SDTV vs HDTV
MULTIMEDIA COMPRESSION 11

ATSC vs DVB

MUSE (Japan)
Multi-Nyquist Sampling Encoding Earliest operating HDTV (Analog) 16/9 aspect ratio 1920 samples/line 1035 lines/frame Video compression similar to MP@HL
