Foreword

This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced under the authority of the Joint

Technical Committee (JTC) of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the European

Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).

NOTE: The EBU/ETSI JTC was established in 1990 to co-ordinate the drafting of ETS in the

specific field of radio, television and data broadcasting.
The EBU is a professional association of broadcasting organisations whose work

includes the co-ordination of its Members' activities in the technical, legal, programme-

making and programme-exchange domains. The EBU has Active Members in about
60 countries in the European Broadcasting Area; its headquarters is in Geneva *.

This ETS describes framing structure, channel coding and modulation for digital multi-programme

television by cable, it has been prepared by the Project Team PT-55V. The work of the Project Team was

based on the studies carried out by the European Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) Project under the

auspices of Ad hoc Group for Digital Television by Cable (DTVC). This joint group of industry, cable

operators and broadcasters provided the necessary information on all relevant matters to the Project

Team, see DTVB 1190/DTVC 38 (bibliography).

This ETS is Part of the complete "Multivision system" (this name is currently under review) which covers

the baseband image coding, baseband sound coding, baseband data service coding, multiplexing,

channel coding and modulation for satellite services, channel coding and modulation for cable and

Satellite Master Antenna Television (SMATV) distribution and common scrambling system.

1 Scope

This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) describes the framing structure, channel coding and

modulation (denoted "the System" for the purposes of this ETS) for a digital multi-programme television

distribution by cable. The aim of this ETS is to present a harmonized transmission standard for cable and

satellite, based on the MPEG-2 System Layer ISO/IEC DIS 13818-1 [1], with the addition of appropriate

Forward Error Correction (FEC) technique. This System can be used transparently with the

modulation/channel coding system used for digital multi-programme television by satellite, see ETS 300

421 (bibliography). The System allows for further evolution as technology advances as described in

Reimers document (see bibliography). It is capable of starting a reliable service as of now. The System is

based on Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM). It allows for 16, 32, or 64-QAM constellations and

permits for future extension to higher constellations, such as 128-QAM and 256-QAM.

-4 -10 -11

The System FEC is designed to improve Bit Error Ratio (BER) from 10 to a range, 10 to 10 ,

ensuring "Quasi Error Free" (QEF) operation with approximately one uncorrected error event per

transmission hour.

4 Cable System concept

The cable System shall be defined as the functional block of equipment performing the adaptation of the

baseband TV signals to the cable channel characteristics (see figure 1). In the cable head-end, the

following TV baseband signal sources can be considered:
- satellite signal(s);
- contribution link(s);
- local program source(s).
The processes in the following subclauses shall be applied as shown in figure 1.

4.1 Baseband interfacing and sync

This unit shall adapt the data structure to the format of the signal source.The framing structure shall be in

accordance with MPEG-2 transport layer including sync bytes.
4.2 Sync 1 inversion and randomization

This unit shall invert the Sync 1 byte according to the MPEG-2 framing structure, and randomizes the data

stream for spectrum shaping purposes.
4.3 Reed-Solomon (RS) coder

This unit shall apply a shortened Reed-Solomon (RS) code to each randomized transport packet to

generate an error-protected packet. This code shall also be applied to the Sync byte itself.

4.4 Convolutional interleaver

This unit shall perform a depth I = 12 convolutional interleaving of the error-protected packets. The

periodicity of the sync bytes shall remain unchanged.
4.5 Byte to m-tuple conversion

This unit shall perform a conversion of the bytes generated by the interleaver into QAM symbols.

4.6 Differential encoding

In order to get a rotation-invariant constellation, this unit shall apply a differential encoding of the two Most

Significant Bits (MSBs) of each symbol.
4.7 Baseband shaping

This unit performs mapping from differentially encoded m-tuples to I and Q signals and a square-root

raised cosine filtering of the I and Q signals prior to QAM modulation.
4.8 QAM modulation and physical interface

This unit performs QAM modulation. It is followed by interfacing the QAM modulated signal to the Radio

Frequency (RF) cable channel.
4.9 Cable receiver
A System receiver shall perform the inverse sign
