We introduce a high-definition three-dimensional television (3DTV) broadcasting system that is fully compatible with the existing transmission system of high-definition television (HDTV). Specifically, we developed high-definition 3DTV broadcasting subsystems including a 3DTV camera, 3DTV video multiplexer and demultiplexer, 3DTV receiver, and 3DTV outdoor broadcast van. To verify the developed subsystems, we performed experimental services of 3DTV broadcasting during the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan. According to our subjective evaluation test, 88% of 273 viewers rated the perceived depth of 3DTV as “Good,” and 36% of the viewers preferred 3DTV to other digital broadcasting services.

This paper is about frequency allocation of LTE Base Station(BS) in the spare band which is generated by DTV transition. In the case of frequency allocation of LTE BS in adjacent band with DTV channel 51 among the spare band, the guard bands that requires for no interference between LTE and DTV system were calculated. As a result, 5.5 MHz of guard band for LTE BS and 2 MHz of guard band for DTV receiver were suggested based on interference analysis between LTE BS and DTV BS, respectively.

Korea has made a plan to allocate CH 14~CH 51 (470 MHz~698 MHz) for DTV transition. Therefore, It is a necessary to take account compatibility between DTV service and other potential services. This paper assumes that DTV service operates on CH 51(692 MHz~698 MHz) and IMT service operates on CH 52(698 MHz~704 MHz), and then analyzes compatibility between DTV service and IMT service with Spectrum Engineering Advanced Monte Carlo Analysis Tool(SEAMCAT). The interference probability from IMT service to DTV service and capacity loss of IMT service due to interference from DTV service is studied, respectively. For the simulation, four interference cases in four different scenarios are considered. With considering the depolarization factor, a guard band of 8 MHz is required in the case of between IMT service downlink(DL) and DTV service, in the case of between IMT service uplink(UL) and DTV service, a guard band of 6 MHz is needed for the worst case of urban scenario on consideration of more then 15 dB increase of IMT system base station(BS) receiver blocking level.

Korea has made a plan to allocate CH 14~CH 51 (470 MHz~698 MHz) for DTV. This paper assumes that DTV operates on CH 51 (692 MHz~698 MHz) and CDMA system operates on CH 52 (698 MHz~704 MHz) in spare band. Minimum Coupling Loss (MCL) method to get protection distance and Spectrum Engineering Advanced Monte Carlo Analysis Tool (SEAMCAT) to get guard band through 5 % interference probability are used. The protection distance is required to be 665.67 km at close frequency offset of 698.625 MHz between DTV transmitter and CDMA Base Station (BS) receiver. The required guard band between DTV transmitter and CDMA Mobile Station (MS) receiver is 5 MHz for the worst case of rural environment. There is no serious impact between CDMA MS transmitter and DTV receiver. The required guard band between CDMA BS transmitter and DTV receiver is 6.25 MHz for the worst case of urban environment. The analysis results may offer a reference and be helpful for considering interference between DTV and other communication systems.

This paper introduces the HD 3DTV camera and 3DTV receiver that are compatible with the ATSC HDTV broadcasting system. The developed 3DTV camera is based on stereoscopic techniques, and it has control function to control both left and right zoom lens simultaneously and to control the vergence. Moreover, in order to control the vergence manually and to eliminate the synchronization problem of the both images, the 3DTV camera has the 3DTV video multiplexing function to combine the left and right images into the single image. The developed 3DTV signal, and it has the various analog/digital interfaces. The performance of the developed system is confirmed by shooting the selected soccer game in 2002 FIFA KOREA/JAPANTM World Cup and by broadcasting the match. The HD 3DTV camera and receiver will be applied to the 3DTV industries such as 3D movie, 3D game, 3D image processing, 3DTV broadcasting system, and so on.

Testing of terrestrial Digital TV(DTV) broadcasting in Seoul and Kyung-gi region was started in May 1999. Tasks of the committee for DTV technical evaluation were to implement test procedures for DTV transmitting systems, to analyze various technical aspects of DTV and to complete a field test. This paper summarizes the field test results. The field test vehicle was designed and constructed to measure field data. We chose over 200 test points to verify the receiving status of DTV signals and compared them with the analog TV signals at the same site. The results showed stable and satisfactory reception of DTV signals over 70%. The system performance index was over 80%.

This paper proposes a signaling and multiplexing mechanism in service-compatible 3DTV broadcasting for guaranteeing backward-compatibility with legacy DTV. Recently, 3DTV experimental broadcasting services are being developed around advanced countries and the standardization of service-compatible 3DTV broadcasting which is able to provide high-quality stereoscopic videos in progress. Based on experimental results, we confirm that proposed method can be used as a common technology and a reference model for stereoscopic video transmission over terrestial, satellite and cable DTV platforms in 3DTV broadcasting service and system development.

최근에 국내에서도 DTV 시험방송을 하고 있고 고해상도의 DTV 수상기도 개발되고 있다. DTV 수상기는 기본적인 TV 기능에 다양한 멀티미디어 기능을 더해 멀티미디어 단말기로서 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다. 이러한 DTV 수상기가 다양한 멀티미디어 인터페이스를 갖도록 하는 것은 기본 요구 사항이 될 것이다. 이중에 최근에 널리 보급되고 있는 디지털 카메라의 출력을 DTV 수상기를 이용하여 디스플레이 하는 것은 필수적인 기능이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 정지영상을 DTV 수상기에 디스플레이 하는 기능은 DTV set-top에서 Monitor를 통한 OSD(On Screen Display)에 적용할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 JPEG 포맷의 정지영상 파일을 MPEG-2와 호환되는 파일로 변환하여 DTV 수상기에 출력하는 시스템을 개발하였다 Windows 환경에서GUI(Graphic User Interface)를 통해 JPEG Image를 디코딩 하여 영상의 픽셀 정보를 복원한 후에 다시 MPEG-2로 압축하여Transport Stream으로 변환하고. 이 stream을 PCI Card를 이용하여 VSB modulator의 요구 타이밍에 맞추어 LVDS 레벨로 출력하도록 하였다.

In this paper we proposed channel models for terrestrial ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) DTV (Digital Television) system in South Korea. For the purpose of this model, we research on propagation model involved in terrestrial DTV system and analyze out field test data of terrestrial DTV broadcasting carried out in korean Broadcasting System. Using the measured values of received field strength, newly proposed Path-loss models have more correctly than that of conventional Path-loss models. This models can be utilized usefully for the efficient ATSC DTV system implementation requiring accurate link-budget calculation

In order to fill the gaps in DTV coverage, KBS Technical Research Institute has researched on DTV on-channel repeating systems as well as DTV translators. The on-channel repeater can reuse frequency resources for expanding service coverage. but it has also many restricts in applications for ATSC DTV system. Thiss Paper compares two kinds of DTV on-channel repealer systems and also presents field test results of both systems. From these results, we Infer their characteristics and summarize the conditions and possibilities of the application for our broadcasting networks.
