G.5.4 Analog Channel Sharing
Some cable operators time-share certain 6-MHz slots between two analog television services, switching from one to the other on a daily schedule. If PSIP were to be used (out of the NTSC band) to describe such a shared analog channel, two approaches are possible: • Define the channel as a single entity, using one source_id . The channel name may be a combination of the two service names, such as “WXYZ/USTV” for example. Or it could 139 ATSC A/65:2013 Program and System Information Protocol, Annex G 7 August 2013 be a neutral name such as “Combo.” Since the channel is defined as a single entity in PSIP, it appears as one horizontal grid line on the EPG display. • Define the channel using two source_id s, one for the first source and another for the second. It is possible to assign each source a separate channel name. Both sources could be assigned the same channel number and frequency, corresponding to the channel’s band number on the cable. Use of the RF channel number is necessary for consistency between DTV receivers using PSIP and analog receivers that tune and number using the conventional analog method. On the EPG grid, each of the services are expected to show “Off the air” (or equivalent) during the part of the broadcast day when the transmission channel is being used for the other source. The second case represents an unusual situation for the DTV receiver, in that two services share the exact same channel number. If the user selects such a doubly-defined channel by direct entry of the number, the frequency is unambiguous so the receiver can tune straightforwardly. If the receiver would wish to display the proper channel name or program name, it must rely on the analog TSID to properly identify the received signal. In both of these cases, it is the responsibility of the cable headend to perform source switching as necessary to create the composite channel. Download 4.82 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
