ATSC 3.0 Module 3: Understanding & Implementing the ATSC 3.0 Transport and Physical Layers
Originally streamed November 29, 2018
Module 3 of the SBE ATSC 3.0 webinar series covers the practical implementation aspects of the ATSC 3.0 system at the Transport and Physical Layers, including their interconnection and inter-layer communications. It is based largely on ATSC standard A/324 and several of its coming extensions. The webinar will examine notional organization of equipment in the system and the protocols that connect the various system elements. It also will look at the wider system context in which the Transport and Physical Layer components are installed and by which they are controlled. Equipment to be covered in detail are Broadcast Gateways and Exciters and the Studio-to-Transmitter Links that interconnect them. Protocols to be covered include the Data Source Transport Protocol (DSTP), the ATSC 3.0 Link Layer Transport Protocol (ALPTP), the Studio-to-Transmitter Link Transport Protocol (STLTP), Error Correction Coding, Security elements, and several other aspects of the systems that deliver ATSC 3.0 data to transmitters and control their emissions. Also covered will be implementation of Single-Frequency Networks (SFNs), Channel Bonding, and other modes of operation of the ATSC 3.0 Physical Layer.

ATSC 3.0 Module 4: MPEG Media Transport Standard and Its Use in ATSC 3.0
Originally streamed January 24, 2019
After successful development and deployment of media delivery standards such as MPEG-2 Transport Streams and ISO Base Media File Format, MPEG has developed new standards for IP-based services, namely MPEG Media Transport (MMT) and Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH). Developed for the industry, MMT has been enjoyed the benefits of MPEG-2 TS while considering migration to IP-based delivery. Japanese Super Hi-Vision was the first broadcasting service to adopt MMT and then ATSC 3.0 also adopted it. In this seminar important features of MMT utilizing benefits of IP while preserving useful features of MPEG-2 TS and how they has been harmonized with ATSC 3.0 standards will be presented.

ATSC 3.0 Module 5: ATSC 3.0 ROUTE Protocol
Originally streamed February 27, 2019
This webinar provides an overview of ROUTE, or “Real-Time Object Delivery Over Unidirectional Transport.” One of the two application-layer transport protocols specified in ATSC 3.0 standards for the delivery of media services and other data over IP-based broadcast system, ROUTE is specified in the ATSC A/331 standard, and has broad utility in supporting the delivery of real-time (RT) streaming services (e.g., linear TV) and non-real-time (NRT) content (e.g., file-based services) for end-user consumption, as well as signaling, application-related documents, DRM metadata and other types of data for use by receiving devices and application software. Besides reviewing the content delivery aspects of the ROUTE protocol, this presentation also describes the service signal mechanisms defined for ATSC 3.0 that enable the discovery and acquisition of services and contents carried by ROUTE.
