Foreword
This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by Joint Technical Committee (JTC) Broadcast of the European
Broadcasting Union (EBU), Comité Européen de Normalisation ELECtrotechnique (CENELEC) and the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
NOTE: The EBU/ETSI JTC Broadcast was established in 1990 to co-ordinate the drafting of standards in the
specific field of broadcasting and related fields. Since 1995 the JTC Broadcast became a tripartite body
by including in the Memorandum of Understanding also CENELEC, which is responsible for the
standardization of radio and television receivers. The EBU is a professional association of broadcasting
organizations 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.

The Digital Video Broadcasting Project (DVB) is an industry-led consortium of broadcasters, manufacturers, network
operators, software developers, regulatory bodies, content owners and others committed to designing global standards
for the delivery of digital television and data services. DVB fosters market driven solutions that meet the needs and
economic circumstances of broadcast industry stakeholders and consumers. DVB standards cover all aspects of digital
television from transmission through interfacing, conditional access and interactivity for digital video, audio and data.
The consortium came together in 1993 to provide global standardization, interoperability and future proof
specifications.
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part deliverable covering Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB);
Plano-stereoscopic 3DTV, as identified below:
Part 1: "Overview of the multipart";
Part 2: "Frame Compatible Plano-stereoscopic 3DTV";
Part 3: "HDTV Service Compatible Plano-stereoscopic 3DTV";
Part 4: " Service frame compatible Plano-stereoscopic 3DTV for HEVC coded services ".
Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not", "may", "need not", "will", "will not", "can" and
"cannot" are to be interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms for the expression of
provisions).
"must" and "must not" are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation.

Introduction
Plano-stereoscopic imaging systems deliver two images (left and right) that are arranged to be seen simultaneously, or
near simultaneously, by the left and right eyes. Viewers perceive increased depth in the picture, which becomes more
like the natural binocular viewing experience. Since 2010 many 3DTV capable consumer products have been launched
in the market.
The present document provides an overview of the "phases" of DVB 3DTV specifications, which constitute the further
parts of this multi-part deliverable.
ETSI TS 101 547-2 [i.1] specifies the delivery system for frame compatible plano-stereoscopic 3DTV services,
enabling service providers to utilize their existing HDTV infrastructures to deliver 3DTV services that are compatible
with 3DTV capable displays already in the market. This system covers both use cases of a STB delivering 3DTV
services to a 3DTV capable display device via an HDMI connection, and a 3DTV capable display device receiving
3DTV services directly via a built-in tuner and decoder. The abbreviated name for Part 2 is FC-3DTV.
ETSI TS 101 547-3 [i.2] specifies the delivery system for HDTV service compatible plano-stereoscopic 3DTV services,
enabling service providers to provide 3DTV services with full resolution high-definition video per eye, while allowing
existing HDTV receivers to derive a conventional full-resolution HDTV service from the 3DTV service. This system
covers both use cases of a STB delivering 3DTV services to a 3DTV capable display device via an HDMI connection,
and a 3DTV capable display device receiving 3DTV services directly via a built-in tuner and decoder. The abbreviated
name for Part 3 is SC-3DTV.
ETSI TS 101 547-4 [i.5] specifies the delivery system for service frame compatible plano-stereoscopic 3DTV for
HEVC coded services, enabling service providers to utilize their existing HDTV infrastructures to deliver 3DTV
services that are compatible with 3DTV capable displays already in the market, while allowing existing HDTV
receivers to extract the left view from the two views contained in the frame compatible plano-stereoscopic 3DTV
service video stream and up-scale it to simulate the reception of an HDTV service. This system covers both use cases of
a STB delivering 3DTV services to a 3DTV capable display device via an HDMI connection, and a 3DTV capable
display device receiving 3DTV services directly via a built-in tuner and decoder. The abbreviated name for Part 4 is
SFC-3DTV. This specification is limited to HEVC coded services.

1 Scope
The present document provides an overview of the methods to encode and deliver DVB plano-stereoscopic 3DTV
services and their decoding by a digital receiver. Each part includes the selection of corresponding plano-stereoscopic
3DTV formats, the definition of plano-stereoscopic 3DTV service signalling information, and the handling of graphics
and captions overlays in the receiver during the reception of the respective plano-stereoscopic 3DTV service. Some
elements are contained in amendments and extensions to the appropriate existing DVB specifications.
The production and contribution of plano-stereoscopic 3DTV content prior to delivery, as well as the method of
rendering the plano-stereoscopic 3DTV content to the viewer at the 3DTV capable display device after its reception and
decoding, are outside the scope of the present document.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
3DTV: DVB plano-stereoscopic three-dimensional television
3DTV cognisant IRD: IRD that is able to identify plano-stereoscopic 3DTV services via the corresponding Service
Information (DVB-SI), and the plano-stereoscopic 3DTV video format, but that is not necessarily able to render
plano-stereoscopic 3DTV video content correctly
3DTV compliant IRD: IRD that is both 3DTV cognisant and that is able to render plano-stereoscopic 3DTV video
content correctly, being either a 25 Hz, 30 Hz, 50 Hz or 60 Hz plano-stereoscopic 3DTV IRD as defined in
ETSI TS 101 154 [1]
3DTV incognisant IRD: IRD that is not able to identify plano-stereoscopic 3DTV services via the corresponding
Service Information (DVB-SI), nor the plano-stereoscopic 3DTV video format
captions: text and visual elements intended to be overlaid on the picture as an optional feature, e.g. subtitles for foreign
language source material, or for viewers with impaired hearing
disparity: difference between the horizontal positions of a pixel representing the same point in space in the right and
left views
NOTE: Positive disparity (horizontal right coordinate greater than horizontal left coordinate) implies a position
behind the plane of display, and negative disparity implies a position in front of the display.
Frame Compatible (FC): arrangement of the Left and Right images in a spatial multiplex which results in an image
which can be treated like a normal HDTV image by the receiver demodulator and compression decoder
natural binocular viewing: process of viewing with two eyes, as is done by most people
pixel arrangements: arrangement of horizontal and vertical image samples
NOTE: This has an impact on vertical, horizontal, or diagonal resolution.
plano-stereoscopic: three-dimensional picture that uses two single pictures, Left and Right, displayed on a single plane
surface (the TV screen in the case of 3DTV)
polarisation planes: optical filter system used to direct the left and right eye images to the appropriate eye
Service Compatible (SC): arrangement of the Left and Right images such that an existing HDTV receiver is able to
extract a 2D version of the video content from a plano-stereoscopic 3DTV service
Service frame compatible (SFC): arrangement of the Left and Right images in a spatial multiplex which results in an
image which can be treated like a normal HDTV image by the receiver demodulator and compression decoder
accompanied by signalling enabling an HDTV receiver to extract the left view and up-scale it to simulate the reception
of an HDTV service
service guide: usually information on programme choice displayed on the screen, and often derived from now and next
information broadcas
