Ⅰ. Understanding of LCD TV

Digital TV

• Basically it is same as Analog

• Only apply to 576i (SD)
• Bandwidth : 7/8MHz (It depends on the country)

• General DVB specification

• DVB-T(Terrestrial), DVB-S(Satellite), DVB-C(Cable)

• Specification by Region
• D-Book(U.K), E-Book(German and European Continent), Nordig(North Europe)

• Number of channels
• 1 MUX can contain 4~6 programs or more, because it uses the SD.

• OTA(Over the Air) Download

• S/W Upgrade by broadcasting
• U.K and German enforce this service
Ⅰ. Understanding of LCD TV

Digital TV

• Possibility of HD broadcasting through the terrestrial in the future

• Already execution : Satellite (Euro1080i) and Australia
• Plan : Under discussion in France

• Possibility of terrestrial pay TV in the future

• U.K : Already execution. Ex> Top-Up TV

• MUX
• 1 MUX consists of 4 ~ 6 programs or more

예 > U.K. MUX ID 57 (762MHz) = BBC Four + Cbeebies + BBC Parliament + Community Channel
+ 1Xtra BBC + BBC Radio 5 Live + BBC 5 Live Sports Extra + BBC 6 Music + BBC 7 + BBC
Asian Network + 701 + 702 + 703
Ⅰ. Understanding of LCD TV

Digital TV
• The Concept of Channel, Program, Service
• Channel = Physical Channel + Logical Channel
• Physical Channel : The assigned frequency. (that is a MUX)
• Logical Channel : It means one program in the MUX.
• Logical Channel
• ATSC : The number is assigned to the same MUX like 7-1, 7-2...
• DVB : For the program in the same MUX, it can be independently composed to the way of
CH1, CH2, CH3.. like the programs in the different MUX.
• The Case of using Logical Channel : The channel list is composed by the transmitted
logical channel from the broadcasting system. (U.K, Australia)
• The Case of Not using Logical Channel : The channel list is assigned arbitrarily from 1 to
999.
• Contents
• Although the contents are in the same MUX, they are different each other.
• In Australia 1HD and 2~4 SD services are transmitted by the one MUX for the shortage of
contents.
Ⅰ. Understanding of LCD TV

Digital TV
• CAS
• A receiver with a built-in Conditional Access System.
• Only for the exclusive broadcaster, Not available for others

• CI
• Conditional Access System is separated from the receiver.
( Extra sale)
• The set manufacturers offer only the CI Module and the Interface to the customer.
• Most of the terrestrial services are free of charge, but it must be applied to the built-in set for
the future extension of the charged services.

• MHEG-5
• U.K. Data broadcasting standard, Presently 1.06 is broadcasted.
• The formal name is the MHEG(Multimedia and Hypermedia Expert Group) Part 5.
• Now MHEG = MHEG-5 concept is popularly used.

What is HDMI? Ⅵ. Attachment

HDMI system architecture is defined to consist of Sources and Sinks. A given

device may have one or more HDMI inputs and one or more HDMI outputs. Each
HDMI input on these devices shall follow all of the rules for an HDMI Sink and
each HDMI output shall follow all of the rules for an HDMI Source.
As shown HDMI block diagram the HDMI cable and connectors carry four
differential pairs that make up the TMDS data and clock channels. These
channels are used to carry video, audio and auxiliary data. In addition, HDMI
carries a VESA DDC channel. The DDC is used for configuration and status
exchange between a single Source and a single Sink. The optional CEC protocol
provides high-level control functions between all of the various audiovisual
products in a user’s environment.
Audio, video and auxiliary data is transmitted across the three TMDS data
channels. The video pixel clock is transmitted on the TMDS clock channel and is
used by the receiver as a frequency reference for data recovery on the three
TMDS data channels. Video data is carried as a series of 24-bit pixels on the
three TMDS data channels. TMDS encoding converts the 8 bits per channel into
the 10 bit DC-balanced, transition minimized sequence which is then
transmitted serially across the pair at a rate of 10 bits per pixel clock period.

Link Architecture

As shown in an HDMI link includes three TMDS Data channels and a

single TMDS Clock channel. The TMDS Clock channel constantly runs
at the pixel rate of the transmitted video. During every cycle of the
TMDS Clock channel, each of the three TMDS data channels transmits
a 10-bit character. This 10-bit word is encoded using one of several
different coding techniques.

The input stream to the Source’s encoding logic will contain video pixel,
packet and control data. The packet data consists of audio and
auxiliary data and associated error correction codes.

These data items are processed in a variety of ways and are presented
to the TMDS encoder as either 2 bits of control data, 4 bits of packet
data or 8 bits of video data per TMDS channel. The Source encodes
one of these data types or encodes a Guard Band character on any
given clock cycle.

What is HDMI? Ⅵ. Attachment

Operating Modes Overview

The HDMI link operates in one of three modes: Video Data Period, Data Island
period, and Control period. During the Video Data Period, the active pixels of
an active video line are transmitted. During the Data Island period, audio and
auxiliary data are transmitted using a series of packets. The Control period is
used when no video, audio, or auxiliary data needs to be transmitted.
A Control Period is required between any other two periods.

Video Data Periods use transition minimized coding to encode 8 bits per
channel, or 24 bits total per pixel.
Data Island Periods are encoded using a similar transition minimized coding,
TMDS Error Reduction Coding (TERC4), which transmits 4 bits per channel,
or 12 bits total per pixel clock period.
During Control Periods, 2 bits per channel, or 6 bits total are encoded per pixel
clock using a transition maximized encoding. These 6 bits are HSYNC, VSYNC,
CTL0, CTL1, CTL2 and CTL3. Near the end of every Control Period,
a Preamble, using the CTLx bits, indicates whether the next Data Period is
a Video Data Period or a Data Island Period.

Video Format Support

In order to provide maximum compatibility between video Sources and Sinks,
specific minimum requirements have been specified for Sources and Sinks

Primary Video Format Timings

• 640x480p @ 59.94/60Hz
• 1280x720p @ 59.94/60Hz
• 1920x1080i @ 59.94/60Hz
• 720x480p @ 59.94/60Hz
• 720(1440)x480i @ 59.94/60Hz
• 1280x720p @ 50Hz
• 1920x1080i @ 50Hz
• 720x576p @ 50Hz
• 720(1440)x576i @ 50Hz

Audio Sample Rates and Support Requirements

If an HDMI Source supports audio transmission across any output, then it

shall support HDMI audio transmission. If an HDMI Source supports any
HDMI audio transmission, then it shall support 2 channel L-PCM using an
IEC 60958 Subpacket structure, with either 32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz
sampling rate and a sample size of 16 bits or more.

An HDMI Source is permitted to transmit L-PCM or encoded audio data at

sample rates of 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz and
192kHz using either IEC 60958 format or IEC 61937 format. If an HDMI
Sink supports audio reception across any input, then it shall support
audio reception from all HDMI inputs.

Basic Audio. is defined as two channel L-PCM audio at sample rates of

32kHz, 44.1kHz, or 48kHz, with a sample size of at least 16 bits. For
EIA/CEA-861B references to DTV devices, .Basic Audio. is defined as two
channel L-PCM audio at sample rates of 32kHz, 44.1kHz, and 48kHz.

There is no sample size usage restriction for DTV devices. An HDMI Sink
may optionally accept audio at sample rates of 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz
and/or 192kHz using either IEC 60958 format or IEC 61937 format, and
should indicate these capabilities in the E-EDID data structure.
What is HDMI? Ⅵ. Attachment

Compatibility With DVI

All HDMI Sources shall be compatible with DVI 1.0 compliant sink devices (i.e.
“monitors” or “displays”) through the use of a passive cable converter. Likewise,
all HDMI Sinks shall be compatible with DVI 1.0 compliant sources (i.e. “systems”
or “hosts”) through the use of a similar cable converter.

When communicating with a DVI device, an HDMI device shall operate according
to the DVI 1.0 specification, with the following exception - these devices are not
required to comply with DVI 1.0 rules regarding:
• Monitor scaling requirements
• Physical Interconnect specifications
• System Low Pixel Format Support Requirements

Furthermore, for HDMI devices which do not have a “BIOS” or “operating system”,
there are the following additional exceptions:
• “BIOS” requirements
• “Operating system” requirements
• “System level event” requirements
• Power management requirements

TruSurround XT for Virtual Surround Sound

DVD players have transformed the

household into an entertainment center.
While DVD owners can now enjoy 5.1
multichannel soundtracks for movies and
music in the comfort of their living room or
at their computer, most televisions and
computer playback systems
have only two speakers.

TruSurround XT bridges this gap. It processes any multichannel audio source, as is usually
found on DVDs, and transforms the material into breathtaking virtual surround sound from just two
speakers or headphones.

Based upon the patented TruSurround® technology from SRS Labs, which is the established
standard for virtual surround sound, TruSurround XT also includes the unique features of SRS
Dialog Clarity and TruBass and creates a stunning 3D sound image from standard stereo material.
 What is TXT? Ⅵ. Attachment

TruSurround XT features

�TruSurround: TruSurround is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1
multichannel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound
experience through any two-speaker playback system, including internal television speakers and
headphones. It is fully compatible with all multichannel formats up to 6.1 channels.

�SRS Dialog Clarity Enhancement: Playback of dialog often suffers due to competing signals from
other speakers. In addition, feature film soundtracks are mixed specifically for cinema playback
and are loaded with the latest advancements in special audio effects. When translated over home
theatre or computers systems, dialog may become unintelligible. This patented SRS algorithm
enhances signal clarity to address these problems, thus improving dialog intelligibility from all such
source material.
 What is TXT? Ⅵ. Attachment

TruSurround XT features

�TruBass: TruBass is a patented SRS technology that enhances bass performance utilizing
proprietary psychoacoustic techniques. These techniques restore the perception of fundamental
low frequency tones by dynamically augmenting harmonics, which are more easily reproduced by
contemporary loudspeakers.

Using TruBass, TruSurround XT takes the bass information contained within the original audio
track and helps the speakers or headphones re-create it – even if it is below the speaker’s low
frequency limitations.

�WOW: WOW™ is an award winning stereo enhancement technology that significantly improves
the performance of stereo (non-surround sound encoded material) signals through any two-
speaker system, including headphones. It extends the sound image in both the horizontal and
vertical planes well beyond the speakers themselves. In addition, WOW incorporates TruBass and
SRS Dialog Clarity Enhancement.

When TruSurround XT accepts a stereo signal, WOW is enabled for a better listening experience.
Wow is also used by Microsoft in their new Media Player for Windows XP and Windows Media
Player 7.
