Figure D4 Content of the Virtual Channel Table.
Two descriptors are associated with the logical channels in the example. The first one is extended_channel_name and, as its name indicates, it gives the full name of the channel. An example for channel NBZ.S could be: “NBZ Sports and Fitness”. The other one, the service_location_descriptor() , is used to list the available bit streams and their PIDs necessary to decode packets at the receiver. Assuming that NBZ.M offers bilingual transmission, then the service_location_descriptor() program element loop would contain (with example PID values): Stream type (0x81 for AC-3) PID (0x1000) ISO 639 code (ENG for English) Stream type (0x81 for AC-3) PID (0x1001) ISO 639 code (SPA for Spanish) Stream type (0x02 for MEPG-2 video) PID (0x1002) (no ISO 639 code) Two VCTs may exist simultaneously in a Transport Stream: the current and the next VCT. The current VCT is recognized by having the flag current_next_indicator set to ‘1’, while the next one has this flag set to ‘0’. The “next” VCT should not be transmitted when it fits into a single table section, since delivery of the new “current” table will take effect as soon as the one (and only) section arrives. Multi-sectioned next VCTs may be sent, but should not be delivered until immediately before the point at which they are to become current. This recommendation arises because no mechanism is available to update the “next” tables without affecting the current table definition. For multi-sectioned VCTs, delivery of the “next” table is helpful. Consider a Transport Stream containing the following table sections: • Current VCT, version_number =5, section 1 of 2 • Current VCT, version_number =5, section 2 of 2 • Next VCT, version_number =6, section 1 of 2 • Next VCT, version_number =6, section 2 of 2 114 ATSC A/65:2013 Program and System Information Protocol, Annex D 7 August 2013 At the point in time when the “next” tables are to become current, the following table section may be placed into the Transport Stream: • Current VCT, version_number =6, section 1 of 2 At the moment this table section is processed, both sections of the version 6 VCT are understood to be the new “current” VCT, even before section 2 of 2 of VCT version 6 labeled “current” is received. As long as the “next” table sections have been cached, they can be taken as “current” as soon as the version number is seen to increment. When the VCT refers to an analog service type, the channel_TSID cannot refer to the identifier of a "Transport Stream" in the MPEG-2 sense. Analog NTSC broadcast signals can, however, carry a 16-bit unique identifier called a "Transmission Signal Identifier." 21 For the example VCT in Figure D4, the Transmission Signal Identifier for channel 12.0 is 0x0AA0. Subsequently, receivers are expected to associate the NTSC broadcast identified by the Transmission Signal ID with the frequency tuned to acquire it. Given this association, a receiver can use the Transmission Signal ID to determine how to tune to the NTSC channel it identifies. It is recommended that the broadcaster insert into the VCT any major-minor channel that would be used to carry any program announced in the EIT. This means if no current program was using 7.7, and if a program 16 days from now was going to use 7.7, that 7.7 would be in the VCT. This would enable receivers to include the channel number in a program guide presented to the consumer. If a program is announced in the EIT and the source ID for that program is not found in the VCT, the receiver cannot determine which "channel" to display for that program. Any channels in the VCT which are not currently active shall have the hidden attribute set to ‘1’ and the hide_guide attribute set to ‘0’. The following table shows DTV behavior for the various combinations of the hidden and hide_guide attributes. In the table the “x” entry indicates “don’t care.” A check in the “surf” column indicates the channel is available by channel surfing and via direct channel number entry. A check in the “guide” column indicates that the channel may appear in the program guide listing. Download 4.82 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
