A stereoscopic 3D video service is able to provide a 3D video service while keeping backward compatibility with the existing 2D video service. In the terrestrial digital television (DTV) system, a stereoscopic video codec is required to have high coding efficiency in order to provide a 3D video service in the same channel capacity. A hybrid codec consisting of MPEG-2 for base video and H.264/AVC or HEVC for 3D auxiliary video is considered. Furthermore, Non-Real-Time (NRT) delivery of stereoscopic video is also considered as a service scenario for 3DTV services to overcome the limited bandwidth. In this paper, we propose a stereoscopic video coding scheme using adaptive loop filter (ALF) which had been considered in HEVC as a pre-/post-filter for enhancing coding efficiency in NRT-based 3DTV services. In order to apply ALF as a post-filter to the reconstructed additional view coded by H.264/AVC, we devise a method in which ALF is adaptively applied based on a structure determined by using macroblock (MB) coding information such as MB mode type and reference index instead of coding unit (CU) structure on which ALF is applied in the HEVC. Experimental results shows that the proposed stereoscopic video coding scheme applying ALF obtains up to 24.9% gain of bit saving.

The Terrestrial DTV service compliant with ATSC has been advancing for years. In KBA(Korean Broadcasters Association), a multi-channel service was broadcasted on air during the period of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany with the various type of MMS(Multi Mode Service) using MPEG-2 encoding method. MMS Service can provides not only one HD channel but also serveral additional services within 6MHz bandwidth. Using digital video compression technology(MPEG-2), many various programs such as HDTV, SDTV, Audio and Data are able to be transmitted within the same bandwidth. From November 2009, KBS has been preparing an advanced MMS service, 'Korea-View' which has both methods of encoding, MPEG-2 and H.264 that is compliant ATSC mobile standard, A/153. Korea-View is a kind of multi-channel broadcast service to provide one HD and 3 SD programs with the bandwidth of 6MHz. Terrestrial multi-channel service is required to focuse on expanding viewer service. Such Terrestrial multi-channel services will contribute to transferring to digital broadcasting and to extending the viewers' welfare. Due to advances in digital technology, Pay-TV channels has increased to hundreds. Even though digital switchover is being proceeded, terrestrial broadcasters have been unable to deliver multi-channel services. In this paper, technical features and differences of MMS and Koreaview will be analyzed regarding terrestrial multi-channel broadcasting services, and the politic direction will be proposed in accordance with introduction of future service.

The fast advances in digital video processing and multimedia processing technology over the last decade enabled various non-linear video browsing techniques. Based on the machine-understanding of the video content, non-linear video brows ing interfaces such as key-frame based content summarization have been introduced. The key-frame based user interfaces, such as storyboard or table of content, however, are still very hard for conventional TV users to use, and are very hard to implement without the service providers providing additional information for the construction of the key-frame based interfaces. In this paper, non-linear video browsing techniques, which not only overcome previously described drawbacks but also are easy-to-use, and real-time video indexing technology to support the proposed browsing techniques are proposed. The structure-based skipping and skimming help users easily find interesting scene and understand the content in a very short time, using real-time video indexing technology.

Recently, the need for disaster-preventing broadcast has increased gradually to cope with natural disaster like earthquake and tsunami causing enormous losses of both life and property. In disaster-preventing broadcast system, the wake-up signal is used to alert user terminal and switch the current state of channel to the emergency channel, which is for the fast and efficient delivery of emergency information. In this paper, we propose the detection method of wake-up signal for disaster-preventing broadcast systems. The wake-up signals for disaster-preventing broadcast should have a good auto-correlation property in low power and narrow-band conditions that does not affect the existing digital television (DTV) system. The suitability of the m-sequence and complementary code (CC) is analyzed for wake-up signals according to signal to noise ratio. A wake-up signal is proposed by combining the direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technique and pseudo noise (PN) sequences such as Barker and Walsh-Hadamard codes. By using the proposed method, a higher detecting performance can be achieved by the spreading gain compared to the single long m-sequence and the Golay code.

As home network is increasing to use, home network industry is developing too. Also, it is to be a popular subject in the network's topics. In this reasons, home network become a important thing because home gateway function is working between access network and home network. In the home network, it relates on the personal computer, home pad, and digital television. But, home gateway is not prepared standard point about techniques. Therefore, many kind of technique want to try for developing of home gateway's functions. Usually, we use ID/PASSWORD method in network control system. But, we found a lot of problems about classical network system while we experienced Jan/25 big trouble. We are considering about that home network system are using same network net. Therefore, seriously we have to check about security and safety at the home network's environment. This report focus on the home network's environment to control for using and efficiency and then it wants to find ways to protect from the internal and external attacks. Existing ID/PASSWORD method it used a electronic signature and the security against the approach from of external watch, the MIB structure of role base and the security of the Home network which leads the authority control which is safe even from the Home network inside it strengthened it used compared to it proposed.
