SIST-TP ETR 162 E1:2005

• Abstract:

  This ETR supplements ETS 300 468 which describes Service Information (SI) to be used for Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) systems. This ETR identifies the SI codes allocated for DVB systems. Four sets of code values are identified: - Network-id used to identify a network; - Bouquet_id used to identify a bouquet; - Conditional Access (CA)_id used to identified the kind of encryption used; - Country code used to identify a country or region.

SIST-TP ETR 162 E1:2005 is the Slovenian version of ETSI ETR 162, published by SIST. It is a technical report for Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) systems that allocates Service Information (SI) code values used in ETS 300 468, including Network_id, Bouquet_id, CA_system_id and country code values. It is intended for organizations that assign, configure, or implement DVB SI in broadcast networks and related equipment.

What does SIST-TP ETR 162 E1:2005 specify?

SIST-TP ETR 162 E1:2005 supplements ETS 300 468 and registers the SI codes used in DVB systems. In practice, it tells implementers which identifier values are assigned for network identification, bouquet identification, Conditional Access (CA) systems, and country or region coding.

The document is organized into four main clauses after the foreword and introduction:

• Clause 1 - Scope
• Clause 2 - References
• Clause 3 - Definitions and abbreviations
• Clause 4 - Register of Service Information (SI) codes

Clause 4 is the technical core. It is split into sections for network identification coding, Bouquet_id, CA_system_id, country code values, and private data specifier values.

What are the key requirements of SIST-TP ETR 162 E1:2005?

SIST-TP ETR 162 E1:2005 requires users to apply the code values listed in Clause 4 within the application area of ETS 300 468. The practical effect is that DVB headends, service databases, and related equipment must use the assigned identifiers rather than inventing their own.

• Clause 1 states that the ETR supplements ETS 300 468 and that the listed codes become part of that standard by reference once allocated. For a user, this means the code lists are tied to the base SI specification, not a separate standalone scheme.
• Clause 1 identifies four code families: network_id, bouquet_id, CA_system_id, and country code. These are the fields that broadcasters and service providers must populate correctly for receivers and other systems to interpret the service data.
• Section 4.1 assigns network_id values to named networks and operators. In practice, this supports unique network identification in DVB signalling and avoids collisions between different operators.
• Section 4.2 assigns bouquet_id values to bouquets and bouquet operators. This matters when services are grouped and signalled as a bouquet rather than as separate channels.
• Section 4.3 assigns CA_system_id ranges to CA system families. This lets receivers and headends recognize the encryption system in use and match it to compatible conditional access handling.
• Section 4.4 gives country code values for groups of countries or parts of countries, supplementary to ISO 3166. This is useful where DVB signalling needs broader regional groupings, not just standard country names.
• Section 4.5 assigns private_data_specifier values to organizations using private SI codes. In practice, this is how proprietary DVB signalling is kept distinct and attributable to the organization that defined it.

What terms does SIST-TP ETR 162 E1:2005 define?

SIST-TP ETR 162 E1:2005 relies on the definitions in ETS 300 468 for its terms, and it uses a small set of abbreviations.

• Service Information (SI) - The signalling data used in DVB systems to describe services, networks, and related broadcast information.
• Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) - The broadcast system family that the report addresses.
• Conditional Access (CA) - The controlled access mechanism used to identify the kind of encryption or entitlement system.
• network_id - The identifier inserted into DVB signalling to identify a network.
• bouquet_id - The identifier used to identify a bouquet of services.
• CA_system_id - The identifier used to identify a CA system family.
• private_data_specifier - The field used to identify which organization owns a private SI code set.
• country code - The code used to identify a country or a wider region in DVB signalling.

Who uses SIST-TP ETR 162 E1:2005?

SIST-TP ETR 162 E1:2005 is used by DVB service providers, network operators, and organizations that request or manage SI code allocations. It is also relevant to equipment suppliers and system integrators who need to configure multiplexes, receivers, or conditional access signalling so that they interpret the correct identifier values. Broadcast and television engineering teams use it when they document, implement, or test DVB service data.

Which standards are used with SIST-TP ETR 162 E1:2005?

SIST-TP ETR 162 E1:2005 is used with ETS 300 468, which it supplements. ETS 300 468 provides the base specification for Service Information in DVB systems, including the fields into which the codes from this report are inserted.

What does the SIST-TP ETR 162 E1:2005 document contain?

SIST-TP ETR 162 E1:2005 contains a register of SI code values presented in tables for different DVB uses. The tables cover network identification, bouquet identification, CA system identification, country code groupings, and private data specifier assignments.

The document also contains a foreword explaining its relation to the EBU/ETSI Joint Technical Committee and the DVB project, plus an introduction that says it accompanies the European Telecommunication Standards for DVB. Its contents are mainly reference data for configuration and interoperability, rather than procedures or test methods.
