ATSC 3.0: Encoding and Headend
In ATSC 3.0 significant change takes place in the encoding of the main signal, and associated multiplexing, requiring entirely new headend equipment.
Key Considerations
- For ATSC 3.0 - new equipment will be required:
- New HEVC Compression, Encoders, Mux
- High Efficiency Video Coding allows Ultra HD (4k) and exceptions in mobile HD capability at efficient data rates
- IP Transport versus ASI or SMPTE-310
- Multiple Encoders, as required for multiple services
- Multiplexing and encoding separate and new equivalent to DVB-T2 Gateway. Provisionally named the “ATSC 3.0 Scheduler/Framer”
- New PSIP requirements, and advanced EAS support
- New HEVC Compression, Encoders, Mux
- IP Transport allows use of cutting edge error mitigation and redundancy techniques, while lowering transport costs.
