Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) - Specification for Service Information (SI) in DVB systems

The present document specifies the Service Information (SI) data which forms a part of DVB bitstreams, in order that the user can be provided with information to assist in selection of services and/or events within the bitstream, and so that the Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD) can automatically configure itself for the selected service. SI data for automatic configuration is mostly specified within ISO/IEC 13818-1 [18] as Program Specific Information (PSI). The present document specifies additional data which complements the PSI by providing data to aid automatic tuning of IRDs, and additional information intended for display to the user. The manner of presentation of the information is not specified in the present document, and IRD manufacturers have freedom to choose appropriate presentation methods. It is expected that Electronic Programme Guides (EPGs) will be a feature of Digital TV transmissions. The definition of an EPG is outside the scope of the present document (i.e. the SI specification), but the data contained within the SI specified in the present document may be used as the basis for an EPG. Rules of operation for the implementation of the present document are specified in TS 101 211 [i.2].

Digitalna videoradiodifuzija (DVB) - Specifikacija za servisne informacije (SI) v sistemih DVB

Ta dokument določa servisne informacije (SI), ki so del bitnih tokov DVB, s katerimi uporabnik dobi informacije, ki so mu v pomoč pri izboru storitev in/ali dogodkov znotraj bitnega toka, in da bi se lahko integrirani sprejemnik-dekodirnik (IRD) avtomatično konfiguriral glede na izbrano storitev. Servisne informacije za avtomatično konfiguracijo so v standardu ISO/IEC 13818-1 [18] večinoma določene kot informacije, specifične za program (PSI). V tem dokumentu so določeni dodatni podatki, ki dopolnjujejo informacije, specifične za program, pri čemer se zagotovijo podatki za lažje avtomatično uglaševanje integriranih sprejemnikov-dekodirnikov in dodatne informacije, ki so dostopne uporabnikom. Dokument ne določa načina predstavitve informacij, zato lahko proizvajalci integriranih sprejemnikov-dekodirnikov sami izberejo ustrezne metode predstavitve. Pričakovati je, da bodo elektronska programska vodila (EPG) del digitalnih televizijskih prenosov. Definicija elektronskega programskega vodila ne spada na področje uporabe tega dokumenta (tj. specifikacija servisnih informacij), vendar se lahko podatki v okviru servisnih informacij iz tega dokumenta uporabijo kot osnova za elektronsko programsko vodilo. Pravila delovanja za izvajanje tega dokumenta so določena v tehnični specifikaciji TS 101 211 [i.2].
