It is composed of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). ) Jointly formed by the Joint Expert Committee (JTC). These standards are freely available for download from the ETSI website after registration.

   In 1993, Europe established the International Digital Video Broadcasting Organization (DVB Organization). The DVB organization decided that the new technology must be a digital technology built on MPEG-2 compression algorithms and must be market-oriented digital technology. The purpose of DVB is to design a universal digital TV system. The most simple way to convert between various transmission methods in this system is to increase the versatility as much as possible. The DVB standard provides a complete set of digital television system specifications for different media. The DVB digital broadcast transmission system utilizes all common television broadcast transmission media including satellite, cable, terrestrial, SMATV, MNDSD. They correspond to the DVB standards: DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T, DVB-SMATV, DVB-MS and DVB-MC.

TVOD

  TVOD (TV On Demand) is an extension of video live content. Let's take a look at what magical features TVOD will bring to everyone. TVOD refers to the IPTV system to record live TV programs in real time and store them as files; TV viewers can choose to watch TV programs played in the last few days at any time. In general, support for one week of review, the specific length of time to look back is determined by the capacity of the recording center node. The smaller the capacity of the central node, the shorter the time to look back.

   TV viewing is different from TV on-demand. It is based on the time shift of TV programs. Therefore, viewers' content is still in the existing TV festival arrangement, and there is no significant change compared with traditional TV. The television viewing rate of the time-lapse period of TV viewing continues the arrival trend of traditional TV, with a slightly stable daytime and a clear peak at night.

IPTV

  IPTV is an interactive network TV. It is a brand-new technology that uses broadband networks to integrate Internet, multimedia, and communication technologies to provide home users with a variety of interactive services, including digital TV. It can adapt well to the rapid development of today's networks and make full and effective use of network resources.

DTV

DTV, Chinese means digital television, refers to the audiovisual system that compresses, encodes, transmits, stores, and transmits and broadcasts moving images, sounds and data through digital technology for audiences to receive/play. That is to say, this is a system that realizes digitization from program collection and production to program transmission and reception to the user terminal.

After years of debate over the previous scanning standards for ATV and DTV, the television industry has basically identified three systems: 480p, 720p, 1080i.

LNB

LNB is also called the down converter, commonly known as the high frequency head, used to convert the DVBS satellite signal to 950MZ to 2150MZ and transmit it to the TUNER inside the satellite receiver. TUNER completes the amplification and demodulation work.

Since the satellite downlink microwave signal received by the terrestrial antenna in the satellite television receiving system has been transmitted over a long distance of about 40 000 km, the function of the down converter is to receive the original signal quality parameter. The signal of the satellite downlink frequency is subjected to low noise amplification and frequency conversion.

The role of Lnb (1): frequency selection (2): amplification (3): frequency conversion

Tuner

working principle

Tuner is a variable frequency chip used in the front end of the demodulation chip

The front end TUNER is a tuning operation, tuning to a specific frequency, converting the input high frequency into a stable intermediate frequency, and converting it to a demodulator through AD, and the demodulator then decomposes the intermediate frequency into a TS stream according to the carrier parameter to the CPU.

Modulation

Satellite, cable, terrestrial TV tuner can be classified according to the scope of application

1. DVB-C

Mainly used in digital TV technology and standards using coaxial cable as transmission medium, using VHF/UHF carrier, using 64-QAM modulation (QAM16-QAM/32-QAM/64-QAM, etc.), QAM quadrature amplitude modulation ( Quadrature Amplitude Modulation)

2. DVB-S

Mainly used in digital TV technology and standards using satellite as transmission medium, using SHF carrier, using QPSK modulation, QPSK Quadrature Phase Shift Keying

3. DVB-S2

Compared with DVB-S, there are more modulation methods, such as QPSK, 8PSK, 16APSK, 32APSK;

4. DVB-T(H)

Mainly used in digital TV technology and standards using terrestrial microwave communication as transmission medium; using VHF and UHF carriers, using OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulation

Europe: C-OFDM coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing

China: TDS-OFDM Time Domain Synchronous Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplex

Japan: BST-OFDM Band Segmented Transmission Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)

5. ISDB-T

Currently used in Japan and South America

6. DVB-T2

Is the second generation of European digital terrestrial television broadcasting transmission standard

7. DVB-C2

Using OFDM technology, combined with advanced LDPC coding and time domain and frequency domain two-dimensional interleaving technology, the system's frequency band utilization and ease of use are improved, and the service function of the broadcast television network will be greatly expanded.
