The tag and length fields are each 8 bits. The length specifies the length of data that begins immediately following the descriptor_length field itself. A descriptor whose descriptor_tag identifies a type not recognized by a particular decoder shall be ignored by that decoder. Descriptors can be included in certain specified places within the tables specified in this standard, subject to certain restrictions (see Section 6). Descriptors may be used to extend data represented as fixed fields within the tables. They make the protocol very flexible since they can be included only as needed. New descriptor types can be standardized and included without affecting receivers that have not been designed to recognize and process the new types. 3 Copyright Consumer Electronics Association Provided by IHS under license with CEA Licensee=Boeing Co/5910770001 Not for Resale, 07/25/2008 02:50:02 MDTNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS -,-,- CEA-775.2-A event: A collection of elementary streams with a common time base, an associated start time, and an associated end time. An event is equivalent to the common industry usage of “television program.” Partial Transport Stream: An MPEG-2 Transport Stream in which transport packets carrying certain elementary streams and PSI tables have been deleted from the original complete Transport Stream. A partial Transport Stream may be created for storage applications to reduce the file size and bandwidth needed for storage, or to reduce the isochronous bandwidth needed to deliver the TS across a serial interface such as IEEE 1394. The timing (start of the packet) of the remaining TS packets on the time- axis is not modified. program element: A generic term for one of the elementary streams or other data streams that may be included in a program. For example: audio, video, data, etc. program: A collection of program elements. Program elements may be elementary streams. Program elements need not have any defined time base; those that do have a common time base are intended for synchronized presentation. The term program is also commonly used in the context of a “television program” such as a scheduled daily news broadcast. In this specification the term “event” is used to refer to a “television program” to avoid ambiguity. section: A data structure comprising a portion of an ISO/IEC 13818-1 defined table, such as the Program Association Table (PAT), Conditional Access Table (CAT), or Program Map Table (PMT). All sections begin with the table_id and end with the CRC_32 field, and their starting points within a packet payload are indicated by the pointer_field mechanism defined in the ISO/IEC 13818-1 International Standard. The syntax for the SIT section defined in the present standard is compliant with the private section syntax of ISO/IEC 13818-1 6. stream: An ordered series of bytes. The usual context for the term stream is the series of bytes extracted from Transport Stream packet payloads which have a common unique PID value (e.g., video PES packets or Program Map Table sections). table: A data structure defined in ISO/IEC 13818-1 6 for delivery of Program Specific Information (PSI). Tables are identified by the table_id field. 2.6 Symbols and Abbreviations ATSC Advanced Television Systems Committee ANSI American National Standards Institute A/V Audio/Video AV/C Audio/Video Control DIT Discontinuity Information Table DTV Digital Television DVB Digital Video Broadcasting EIA Electronic Industries Alliance EIT Event Information Table ETSI European Telecommunications Standards Institute ETT Extended Text Table IEC International Electrotechnical Commission IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ISO International Organization for Standardization MGT Master Guide Table MPEG Moving Picture Experts Group PAT Program Association Table PMT Program Map Table PCR Program Clock Reference PID Packet Identifier Copyright Consumer Electronics Association Provided by IHS under license with CEA Licensee=Boeing Co/5910770001 Not for Resale, 07/25/2008 02:50:02 MDTNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS -,-,- CEA-775.2-A POD Point of Deployment PSIP Program and System Information Protocol PSI Program Specific Information SI Service Information or System Information SIT Selection Information Table SSI Service Selection Information STT System Time Table TS Transport Stream VCT Virtual Channel Table 2.7 Compliance Notation As used in this document, “shall” and “must” denote a mandatory provisions of the standard. “Should” denotes a provision that is recommended but not mandatory. “May” denotes a feature whose presence does not preclude compliance that may or may not be present at the option of the implementer. “Optional” denotes items that may or may not be present in a compliant implementation. 5 Copyright Consumer Electronics Association Provided by IHS under license with CEA Licensee=Boeing Co/5910770001 Not for Resale, 07/25/2008 02:50:02 MDTNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS -,-,- CEA-775.2-A 3. SYSTEM OVERVIEW Figure 3.1 shows a DTV connected on a 1394 bus to various A/V source devices and two different recording devices (a digital VHS and a hard-disk video recorder). Source devices include a digital video camera, a digital satellite receiver, and a digital cable set-top box. Digital Cable Set-Top Box Digital Video Camera Digital Television Digital Hard Disk Recorder Digital VHS Recorder Digital Satellite Receiver Figure 3.1 Example Home Audio/Video Equipment Setup Given the availability of appropriate protocols for device control of the recording devices, any of the source devices can initiate a recording on the D-VHS or hard-disk recorder. Service Information (SI) generally consists of “navigation” information such as channel names, channel numbers, program titles, program schedules, program descriptions, content advisory information, and system time. ATSC A/65C PSIP 2 represents the SI standard in use in the U.S. PSIP data may be available within the Transport Stream selected for recording. PSIP will be available on any digital Transport Stream received in the U.S. via a terrestrial broadcast receiver. PSIP, as-received, may be included a digital recording for use on playback. In other cases, standard Service Information (SI) is not available. For example, the digital satellite receiver shown in the figure may produce an MPEG-2 Transport Stream, but A/65C 2 PSIP data may not be present in the multiplex. Proprietary SI may be present instead. Devices such as the digital video camera may create an MPEG-2 Transport Stream, but again, no PSIP will be present unless it is created in the camera. The Selection Information Table defined in this standard provides a standard format for information included in a Transport Stream when stored in digital form. PSIP may be used instead of, or in addition to, the SIT. When PSIP is used in conjunction with storage devices, special consideration must be given to creation and processing of certain fields in the PSIP tables. These considerations are outlined in Section 4.1.1 on page 10.
