1 Scope
The present document is designed to be used in conjunction with EN 300 468 [2] and ETR 211 [4]. The DVB System
provides a means of delivering MPEG-2 Transport Streams (TS) via a variety of transmission media. These TSs have
traditionally been oriented to containing MPEG-2 Video and Audio. Data broadcasting is seen as an important extension
of the MPEG-2 based DVB transmission standards. Examples for data broadcasting are the download of software over
satellite, cable or terrestrial links, the delivery of Internet services over broadcast channels (IP tunnelling), interactive
TV etc. Four different application areas with different requirements for the data transport have been identified. For each
application area a data broadcasting profile is specified in the present document. The following is a short description of
the application areas and the profiles.
Data piping
- The data broadcast specification profile for data pipes supports data broadcast services that require a simple,
asynchronous, end-to-end delivery of data through DVB compliant broadcast networks. Data broadcast according
to the data pipe specification is carried directly in the payloads of MPEG-2 TS packets
(see ISO/IEC 13818-1 [1]).
Data streaming
- The data broadcast specification profile for data streaming supports data broadcast services that require a
streaming-oriented, end-to-end delivery of data in either an asynchronous, synchronous or synchronized way
through DVB compliant broadcast networks. Data broadcast according to the data streaming specification is
carried in Program Elementary Stream (PES) packets which are defined in MPEG-2 Systems
(see ISO/IEC 13818-1 [1]).
- Asynchronous data streaming is defined as the streaming of only data without any timing requirements
(e.g. RS-232 data).
- Synchronous data streaming is defined as the streaming of data with timing requirements in the sense that the data
and clock can be regenerated at the receiver into a synchronous data stream (e.g. E1, T1). Synchronized data
streaming is defined as the streaming of data with timing requirements in the sense that the data within the stream
can be played back in synchronization with other kinds of data streams (e.g. audio, video).
Multiprotocol encapsulation
- The data broadcast specification profile for multiprotocol encapsulation supports data broadcast services that
require the transmission of datagrams of communication protocols via DVB compliant broadcast networks.
The transmission of datagrams according to the multiprotocol encapsulation specification is done by
encapsulating the datagrams in DSM-CC sections (see ISO/IEC 13818-6 [5]), which are compliant with the
MPEG-2 private section format (see ISO/IEC 13818-1 [1]).
Data carousels
- The data broadcast specification for data carousels supports data broadcast services that require the periodic
transmission of data modules through DVB compliant broadcast networks. The modules are of known sizes and
may be updated, added to, or removed from the data carousel in time. Modules can be clustered into a group of
modules if required by the service. Likewise, groups can in turn be clustered into SuperGroups.
- Data broadcast according to the data carousel specification is transmitted in a DSM-CC data carousel which is
defined in MPEG-2 DSM-CC (see ISO/IEC 13818-6 [5]). the present document defines additional structures and
descriptors to be used in DVB compliant networks. The method is such that no explicit references are made to
PIDs and timing parameters enabling preparation of the content off-line.
Object carousels
- The object carousel specification has been added in order to support data broadcast services that require the
periodic broadcasting of DSM-CC User-User (U-U) Objects through DVB compliant broadcast networks,
specifically as defined by DVB Systems for Interactive Services (SIS) (see ETS 300 802 [10]). Data broadcast
according to the DVB object carousel specification is transmitted according to the DSM-CC Object Carousel and
DSM-CC Data Carousel specification which are defined in MPEG-2 DSM-CC (see ISO/IEC 13818-6 [5]).

4 Data piping
4.1 Data transport specification
The data broadcast service shall insert the data to be broadcast directly in the payload of MPEG-2 TS packets.
The data broadcast service may use the payload_unit_start_indicator field and the transport_priority field of the
MPEG-2 Transport Stream packets in a service private way. The use of the adaptation_field shall be MPEG-2
compliant.
The delivery of the bits in time through a data pipe is service private and is not specified in the present document.
4.2 PSI and SI specifications
The data broadcast service shall indicate the use of a data pipe by including one or more data_broadcast_descriptors in
SI (see EN 300 468 [2]). Each descriptor shall be associated with a particular data pipe via a component_tag identifier.
In particular, the value of the component_tag field shall be identical to the value of the component_tag field of a
stream_identifier_descriptor (see EN 300 468 [2]) that may be present in the PSI program map section for the stream
that is used as a data pipe.
4.2.1 Data_broadcast_descriptor
The data_broadcast_descriptor is used in the following way:
data_broadcast_id: this field shall be set to 0x0001 to indicate a DVB data pipe (see ETR 162 [3]).
component_tag: this field shall have the same value as a component_tag field of a stream_identifier_descriptor
(if present in the PSI program map section) for the stream that is used as a data pipe.
selector_length: this field shall be set to zero.
selector_byte: this field is not present.
4.2.2 Stream type
The specification of the stream_type in the program map section is not defined in the present document.
5 Asynchronous data streaming
5.1 Data transport specification
The data broadcast service shall insert the data to be broadcast in PES packets as defined by MPEG-2 Systems
ISO/IEC 13818-1 [1]. The PES packets shall be of non-zero length. The mapping of the PES packets into MPEG-2
Transport Stream packets is defined in MPEG-2 Systems ISO/IEC 13818-1 [1].
The asynchronous data streaming specification uses the standard PES packet syntax and semantics with the following
constraints:
stream_id: this field shall be set to the value of 0xBF (private_stream_2).
PES_packet_length: this is a 16-bit field which shall be set to a non-zero value.

5.2 PSI and SI specifications
The data broadcast service shall indicate the use of an asynchronous data stream by including one of more data
broadcast descriptors in SI (see EN 300 468 [2]). Each descriptor shall be associated with a particular stream via a
component_tag identifier. In particular, the value of the component_tag field shall be identical to the value of the
component_tag field of a stream_identifier_descriptor (see EN 300 468 [2]) that may be present in the PSI program map
section for the stream that is used as a data stream.
5.2.1 Data_broadcast_descriptor
The data broadcast descriptor is used in the following way:
data_broadcast_id: this field shall be set to 0x0002 to indicate an asynchronous data stream (see ETR 162 [3]).
component_tag: this field shall have the same value as a component_tag field of a stream_identifier_descriptor
(if present in the PSI program map section) for the stream on which the data is broadcast.
selector_length: this field shall be set to zero.
selector_byte: this field is not present.
5.2.2 Stream type
The presence of an asynchronous data stream in a service shall be indicated in the program map of that service by setting
the stream type of that stream to the value of 0x06 or an user private value.
6 Synchronous and synchronized data streaming
6.1 Data transport specification
The data broadcast service shall insert the data to be broadcast in PES packets as defined by MPEG-2 Systems. The PES
packets shall be of non-zero length. The mapping of the PES packets into MPEG-2 Transport Stream packets is defined
in MPEG-2 Systems ISO/IEC 13818-1 [1].
The synchronous and synchronized data streaming specifications use the standard PES packet syntax and semantics with
the following constraints:
stream_id: this field shall be set to the value of 0xBD (private_stream_1) for synchronous and synchronized data
streams. PES_packet_length: this is a 16-bit field which shall be set to a non-zero value.
The data is inserted in PES packets using the PES_data_packet structure. The syntax and semantics of the
PES_data_packet structure are defined in Table 1.

The data_identifier field shall be set to the same value for each PES packet conveying data in the same data stream.
sub_stream_id: this is an 8-bit field. Its use is user private.
PTS_extension_flag: this is an 1-bit field. It shall be set to "1" for synchronous data streams. For synchronized data
streams a value of "1" indicates the presence of the PTS_extension field in the PES_data_packet. If the PTS_extension
field is not present for synchronized data streams, this flag shall be set to "0".
output_data_rate_flag: this is an 1-bit field. It shall be set to "0" for synchronized data streams. For synchronous data
streams a value of "1" indicates the presence of the output_rate field in the PES_data_packet. If the output_rate field is
not present for synchronous data streams, this flag shall be set to "0".
PES_data_packet_header_length: this is a 4-bit field. It shall specify the length of the optional fields in the packet
header including the PES_data_private_data_bytes.
