Baseline specifications of satellite and terrestrial receivers for ISDB (Integrated Service Digital Broadcasting)

IEC 62360:2008(E) specifies the basic functions, ratings, and performance of receivers for the Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting (ISDB) system. It applies to: receivers for standard digital television broadcasting, high-definition television broadcasting, and radio broadcasting from satellite broadcasting stations in the frequency band of 11,7 GHz to 12,2 GHz, receivers for standard digital television broadcasting with a bandwidth of 34,5 MHz, from satellite broadcasting stations in the frequency band of 12,2 GHz to 12,75 GHz and receivers for the standard digital television broadcasting and high-definition television broadcasting from terrestrial broadcasting stations.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2004 and constitutes a technical revision. The main changes with respect to the previous edition are: the non-volatile memory size for terrestrial; BS and CS receiver has been specified; desirable reception channel range of the receiver for VHF and MID band has been specified; DVI interface and HDMI interface have been specified as digital interface; down mixing formula from multi-channel to 2-channel stereo has been changed.
