Benefits of IEEE BTS Membership The BTS is a trans-national Society with over 2000 members and 20 Chapters worldwide. Our Society concerns itself with devices, equipment, techniques and systems related to broadcast technology, including the production, distribution, transmission, and propagation aspects. Our Society is working to advance the professional standing and education of its Members, through our publications, conferences, tutorials and Chapter meetings.
Dr Amal Punchihewa © Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Broadcast Technology Society 3
Distinguished Lecturer Programme Mission: To serve the needs of the members of the Broadcast Technology Society to enhance their professional knowledge and vitality by keeping them informed of the latest research results and their practical applications. The BTS Distinguished Lecturer Programme exists for the purpose of providing BTS chapters with a list of quality lecturers who can potentially give talks at local chapter meetings, as well as funding to support the travel expenses of the lecturer. The programme provides a means for chapters to have access to individuals who are well known educators and authors in the fields of broadcast technology to lecture at chapter meetings.

Casting – Information delivery • Unicast is the term used to describe communication
where a piece of information is sent from one point to another point. In this case there is just one sender, and one receiver.
• Multicast is the term used to describe communication where a piece of information is sent from one point to a set of other points.
• Broadcast is the term used to describe communication where a piece of information is sent from one point to all other points. In this case there is just one sender, but the information is sent to all receivers.

Network Architecture • Internet - network of networks - enables P2P
Communication
• Mobile/Cellular are networks - enables P2P Communication via BS (Base Station)
• Both above networks are not designed for broadcasting

• ISDB – Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting – Mainly in Japan, Brazil and some other south American countries
– Extended to forms such as terrestrial, cable and satellite standard
• DVB – Digital Video Broadcasting – Most of the countries in the world
– Developed through a consortium known as DVB in Europe
– Many variants or forms of DTV operations
• DTMB – Digital Television Broadcasting System - China Dr Amal Punchihewa © Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Broadcast Technology Society 29
Transmission standards • Following table gives the transmission standards overview
extracted from the “Guidelines for the Transition from Analogue to Digital Broadcasting”, ITU, page.186, 2010. Please study reports from the ITU website - http://www.itu.int/publ/D-HDB-GUIDELINES.01-2010/en

Digital Broadcasting Standards
Dr Amal Punchihewa © Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Broadcast Technology Society 31
IBB Integrated Broadcast Broadband • With the availability of devices connected to broadband
gives viewers option to access additional content • Almost all the traditional broadcasters are currently
offering their viewers to access some selected content as catch up or additional contents related to the lined up programmes via broadband networks
• There are number of systems that can operate in hybrid configuration
• The most of these systems have explored ICT- Information and Communication technologies to build such system
Dr Amal Punchihewa © Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Broadcast Technology Society 32
Difference between IBB and TV+Web • Application life cycle
– Some apps. start and stop automatically – The quiz app. launches automatically when the quiz programme
starts – It is terminated automatically at the end of the programme
• Synchronization with progress of a TV programme – Presentation changes in accordance with progress of a TV
programme – The app. receives and processes trigger signals over broadcast – Accurate cross-stream synchronization with broadcast signal
• Integrated user experience – Totally designed presentation with a TV programme
Dr Amal Punchihewa © Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Broadcast Technology Society 33
Therefore IBB • IBB – Integrated Broadcast-Broadband
• Recent advancement of broadband technologies enable
– High speed delivery – Server side processing – Inter-device communication
Dr Amal Punchihewa © Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Broadcast Technology Society 34
IBB DTV service
A service that simultaneously provides an integrated experience of broadcasting and interactivity relating to media content, data and applications from multiple sources, where the interactivity is sometimes associated with broadcasting programmes. [Source: Definition in Recommendation ITU-T 1205]
Dr Amal Punchihewa © Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Broadcast Technology Society 35
Application types • Broadcast-oriented managed application
– Service associated application with enhancement – Can continue running if application signalling in a newly selected
channel instructs AUTOSTART to the same app.
• Non broadcast-oriented managed application – "Stand-alone application" accessible to broadcast resources under
the permission given by broadcasters
• General application – "Stand-alone application" not allowed for simultaneous
presentation with broadcast programmes
Dr Amal Punchihewa © Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Broadcast Technology Society 36
Application Signalling - Example Hybridcast • ARIB STD-B24, Vol. 4 defines syntax and delivery of
application signalling – Signalling by Application Information Table (AIT) – MPEG Section format and XML notation are defined – URL and identification information for application – Priority information for execution of data broadcast content and
Hybridcast application
• Delivery of AIT – Elementary stream which conveys MPEG section formatted AIT – XML documents transmitted by DSM-CC data carousel – Acquisition from the server(s) on the Internet
Dr Amal Punchihewa © Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Broadcast Technology Society 37

IBB - Integrated Broadcast Broadband • The ITU-R SG6 are currently studying the Integrated
Broadcast-Broadband (IBB) Systems, and based on the Recommendations established at ITU-T SG9, in July 2013 – they established the Recommendation ITU-R BT. 2037: General
requirements for broadcast-oriented applications of integrated broadcast-broadband systems and their envisaged utilization,
– in February 2014 they also established the Recommendation ITU-R BT. 2053: Technical requirements for integrated broadcast-broadband systems
• Currently working towards a new Recommendation ITU-R BT. [IBB-SYSTEM]

What is OTT? • Over the Top are the audio-visual services delivered over
broadband and internet • OTT are over unmanaged networks from the television
services operators point of view • As there is a return channel, full interaction is possible.
Dr Amal Punchihewa © Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Broadcast Technology Society 64
What is Over the Top? • OTT is delivered directly from provider to viewer using an
open internet/broadband connection, independently of the viewer’s ISP, without the need for carriage negotiations and without any infrastructure investment on the part of the provider
• It is a ‘best effort’, unmanaged method of content delivery via the Internet that suits providers who are primarily broadcasters rather than ISPs

Cloud Services Software as a Service (SaaS)
Shared application services with ability to rapidly provision and change user numbers as needed, with transparent and variable cost to support business flexibility in an ‘elastic’ manner. Applications are usually accessed via a browser to support end-user mobility and flexibility.
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
A solution stack consisting of infrastructure, software (operating system, database etc.) and tools, accessible in a self-service manner to support the development and delivery of new application services and capabilities.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Server, compute, storage and network infrastructure capabilities provided in an agile and elastic manner, leveraging virtualisation technologies and high degrees of automation to help maximise asset utilisation and improve responsiveness to changing business demands

– “no point” to start DVB-T today
• Multiple PLPs- common infrastructure for Radio and TV?
• DVB-T2 with 1.7 MHz BW to replace T-DAB

Summary and Recommendations • OTT – over unmanaged networks, are improving • IPTV – less penetration • IBB – middle ground • HbbTV, Hybridcasting, HTML-5 Smart TV platform,.. • Technologies are evolving • How we build infrastructure using such Technology will
determine the services • Regulation especially policies will play a key role in it • Assurance to access to information - No information
divide (Dr AMAL Punchihewa) • Less harm to the society
