Time Base Explanation
PCR is 42-bit counter based on
27MHz clock
PCR accuracy is +/- 30ppm or 810
Hz or 1.11 ps
90x103 Hz
DVB allows PCR jitter +/- 500ns
Modulo 300
27x 106 Hz
PCR = PCRbase * 300 + PCRext
•PCRbase = 27MHz / 300 = 90 KHz
Counter
•PCRext = 27MHz % 300
PCR
extension
233
PCRbase is 33-bit 90KHz counter
PCR base
PCRext is 9-bit 27MHz counter on
modulo 300
ES PTS and DTS are synchronized
by PCRbase

25.
Data Broadcasting
• Data Piping - where discrete pieces of data are delivered using containers to
the destination. There is no timing relationship between the data and other
PES packets.
• Data Streaming - where the data takes the form of a continuous stream which
may be Asynchronous (i.e. without timing, as for Internet packet data)
Synchronous (i.e. tied to a fixed rate transmission clock, as for emulation of a
synchronous communication link) or Synchronised (i.e. tied via time stamps
to the decoder clock and hence to other PES packets, as for the display of TV
captions). The data is carried in a PES.
• Multi-Protocol Encapsulation (MPE) - the technique is based on DSM-CC and
is intended for providing LAN emulation to exchange packet data
• Data Carousels - a scheme for assembling data sets into a buffer which are
played-out cyclic manner (periodic transmission). The data sets may be of any
format or type. One example use is to provide the data for Electronic
Programme Guides (EPGs). The data are sent using fixed sized DSM-CC
sections.
• Object Carousels - object carousels resemble data carousels, but primarily
intended for data broadcast services. The data sets are defined by the DVB
Network Independent Protocol specification. They may be used, for example,
to down-load data to a set top box decoder

27.
Conditional Access
• Two models
• Simulcrypt
• Is using network standard scrambling (encryption) algorithm incorporated into
the DTV receiver
• The keys for decryption are provided over the Transport Stream
• Multicrypt
• Is using external decryptor implementing proprietary cryptography algorithm of
the content provider
• The decrypted Transport Stream leaving the external decryptor can be then
considered under simulcrypt model definition, i.e. sometimes double
scrampling may be used: proprietary and standard
• CA Cryptography
• DVB (ETSI)
• DVB-CI – Common Interface for multicrypt CAS
• DVB-CSA – Common Scrambling Algorithm for simulcrypt CAS
• ATSC
• POD – Point Of Deployment (based on DVB-CI) for multicrypt CAS
• 3DES at CBC mode - for simulcrypt CAS
• OpenCable
• CableCard – based on POD (for S-cards) for multicrypt CAS
• 3DES at ECB mode – as standard scrambling algorithm
• ARIB (ISDB) – MULTI2 for simulcrypt CAS

DRM
• Definition: DRM is the digital management
of user rights to content
• DRM is the technology that protects content
owner rights when selling and distributing
content online in a digital form
• The Goal of DRM is to balance information
protection, usability and cost to provide a
beneficial environment for all parties in an
information commerce transaction

Middleware
• Makes it easier to write complex applications
• Allows portability across hardware and operating
systems
• Applications will run on any platform the middleware
has been ported to
• The application developer doesn’t need to consider the
OS/hardware in every STB the application will run on
• Makes it easier for third parties to write
applications
• Only need to learn about a few middleware platforms
• More abstraction makes learning easier

• Licensed to STB manufacturers
• Most common in pay TV
• Open Middleware
• Standardized by an industry body
• Can be implemented by anyone
• Licensing fee is usually small
• More commonly used in free TV
