ATSC-VSB 규격은 미국형 지상파 디지털 방송의 전송부 변복조 기법으로 채택된 것으로 현재 선진 가전 업체들을 중심으로 상용 DTV를 위한 VSB 복조 IC가 개발 발표되고 있다. VSB 복조 IC는 동기부에 적용하는 기술에 따라 아날로그 혹은 디지털 방식의 다양한 구조를 가지게 된다. 본 고에서는 디지털 방식의 VSB 복조IC를 구성하는 기본적인 기능 블럭의 구성에 대해 살펴보고, 현재 세계 각국의 업체들에서 개발한 IC들을 개발 방식에 따라 분류하고 그 특성을 비교하였다.

디지털 경제에서는 세계표준을 따르는 것이 선택이 아니라, 필수적인 것이다. 따라서 디지털 방송표준또한 필연적으로 준수되어져야 하는 규격인 것이다. 최근 방송환경이 매체별(지상파, 위성, 케이블)로 디지털방송으로 전환 중이거나 전환을 완료하여 서비스중에있다. 데이터방송 또한 매체별로 실험서비스 혹은 본방송이 진행중이다. 데이터방송은 디지털 방송에 양방향 서비스를 가늠하게 하는 개념으로서 국내의 지상파 데이터방송 표준 규격이 ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee)-DASE (DTV Application Software Environment), 위성의 경우 DVB MHP (Digital Video Broadcasting - Multimedia Home Platform), 케이블은 OpenCable-OCAP(OpenCable Common Application Platform)으로 결정되었다. 이와 같이 국내에서 채택하고있는 데이터방송 규격은 매체별로 서로다른 규격을 따르고있으며 규격 표준화 진행은 완료되었거나 진행중에 있다. 따라서 본 고에서는 지상파, 위성, 케이블 데이터방송 표준동향과 매체별 데이터방송 표준 규격에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

The recent flow of broadcasting technology, HDTV and 3DTV are being followed to develop UHDTV. UHDTV has established itself as the new paradigm. In Korea, the 4K-UHDTV experimental terrestrial broadcasting and cable and satellite TV services are being carried out in the present. 4K-UHD content creation workflow to enable a systematic formulation is needed. In this study, Through expert opinion 4K-UHD production workflow to derive the important topics and Hierarchical analysis methods (AHP, Analytic Hierarchy Process) is applied to 4K-UHD content creation is important to consider the items were compared to each other. The upper layer has a content creation workflow planning side, the media file management side and operational aspects of the selection and production equipment were classified. In the lower layer, UHD STAFF roles between production and training, media management, selection and operation of the storage device was evaluated in a relatively important. In addition, real-time 4K-UHD suggested workflow for production.

When broadcasters want immediately a variety of VOD files in a distributed server of them data centers and away contents provider, CPs of different platform to exchange high-quality HD, 3DTV video and other video files over the IP networks of high-performance that can be transferred quickly and must be configured quickly. This paper, by using an optional encryption method to complement a QoS and security of public network, suggests high speed and secure content transmission protocol such as VPN(Virtual Private Network) for large video files and big data. As configured high performance VPN, end to end devices use the best of available resources over public network by parallel transfer protocol and the secure content delivery network.

This paper investigates the design and performance of a digital on-channel repeater (DOCR) for use in Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) digital television (DTV) broadcasting. The main drawback of a DOCR is the echo interference caused by coupling between transmitter and receiver antennas, which induces system instability and performance degradation. In order to overcome this problem, an echo canceller based on the adaptive echo channel estimation (ECE) technique has been researched and applied for a DOCR. However, in the case of ATSC, the pilot signal, which is used for carrier synchronization, may cause a DC offset error and reduce the isolation performance of the echo canceller for a DOCR in an ATSC network. Moreover, since the multipath fading effect of a radio channel usually occurs in a real environment, it should be minimized to improve the overall performance of a DOCR. Therefore, due to the limited isolation performance of echo canceller and the multipath fading effect, an interference cancellation system (ICS) is proposed for a DOCR in an ATSC network. The performance of the proposed DOCR with an ICS is evaluated by software simulation and hardware test results.

This paper describes a digital video recorder-based approach to realising interactive programmes on digital television. So far, it is very difficult that the most interactive programmes included the vast quantities of the content, whatever it is data or HD-ready broadcasting, are broadcasted on digital television via the set-top box. Furthermore it is not possible to envisage until IPTV was appeared. Even though IPTV makes possible for streaming the interactive services via broadband, it is not easy to receive tremendous contents for interactivity as set-top box at once. In this paper it will suggest an effective solution to resolve the download dilemma for the interactive services on DTV by employing the set-top box fitted with digital video recorder.

This paper is concerning about the demapping method using the pilots inserted in transmitter in COFDM(Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) demodulator which is the standard transmission method of terrestrial digital TV system in Europe(DVB-T). We have presented a simple and efficient method of CSI(Channel State Information) generation and demapping method using CSI. The CSI was derived from the pilot carriers inserted with comb-type among the received active carriers, which is defined as a SNR. From the simulation results for the 3 different constellations of the receiver, we could confirm that the system performance comparing with conventional soft decision method has been improved under DVB-T standard Rayleigh and Ricean fading channel.

One of the existing terrestrial multi-channel DTV service frameworks, called KoreaView, provides four programs, composed of MPEG-2 based one HD video and H.264/AVC based three SD videos within one single 6MHz frequency bandwidth. However the additional 3 SD videos can not provide enough quality due to its reduced spatial resolution and low target bitrates. In this paper, we propose a framework, which is called a terrestrial multi-channel high quality hybrid DTV service, to overcome such a weakness of KoreaView services. In the proposed framework, the three additional SD videos are encoded based on an H.264/SVC Spatial Base layer, which is compliant with H.264/AVC, and are delivered via broadcasting networks. On the other hand, and the corresponding three additional HD videos are encoded based on an H.264/SVC Spatial Enhancement layer, which are transmitted over broadband networks such as Internet, thus allowing the three additional videos for users with better quality of experience. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed framework, various experimental results are provided for real video contents being used for DTV services. First, the experimental results show that, when the SD sequences are encoded by the H.264/SVC Spatial Base layer at a target bitrate of 1.5Mbps, the resulting PSNR values are ranged from 34.5dB to 42.9dB, which is a sufficient level of service quality. Also it is noted that 690kbps-8,200kbps are needed for the HD test sequences when they are encoded in the H.264/SVC Spatial Enhancement layer at similar PSNR values for the same HD sequences encoded by MPEG-2 at a target bitrate of 12 Mbps.

This paper presents and analyzes field test results of E-VSB(Enhanced-VSB) system proposed by Zenith/ATl and adopted ATSC standard. In the field test, according to types of antennas we measured reception possibility, noise margin, ease of reception to analyze performance improvement of E-VSB system at each outdoor/indoor test point. Also, we verify a backward compatibility between E-VSB and conventional 8-VSB system and check selection of test point, and configuration of transmitter and test vehicle. By the field test results, E-VSB system did not only outperform over 8-VSB system at severe multipath environment such as indoor reception, but also verified backward compatibility with it.
