TC 100-Audio, Video and Multimedia Systems and Equipment Important Topics Foreseen in TC 100 Shuji Hirakawa IEC TC 100 Secretary shuji.hirakawa@toshiba.co.jp
Topics foreseen Home Networking Audio and Video Synchronization Digital Rights Management Mobile reception of multimedia broadcasting Other important issue
An Example of Home Networking PCs and PC-related equipment Cellular PC phones PDA Audiovisual equipment Digital TVs Operating standalone- type household appliances by means of a cellular phone or PC on the premises and displaying the operation statuses of standalone - type household appliances on a cellular phone or PC screen on the premises Browser, streaming Operating white appliances via a TV screen and displaying the operation statuses of white appliances on a TV screen HDD recorders Enabling white appliances, sensors, etc. to work in conjunction with audiovisual equipment Operating DVD recorders, TVs, etc. via a white appliance controller Enabling door phones to work in conjunction with cellular phones Door phones White White appliances, sensors, etc.
Home Networking Almost of contents run over Home Networking are audio, video and multimedia/data These elements are included in the title of IEC TC 100 Title of IEC TC 100: Audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment Transmission side is under ITU-R Study Group 6 and ITU-T Study Group 9 IEC TC 100 is responsible for receivers of broadcasting and A/V equipment
Home Networking in IEC (1) IEC PACT identified Smart Home as an important issue This task was allocated to TC 59 for Performance of Household Electrical Appliances (SMB/2898/R, Sep. 15, 2004) However, TC 59 decided to observe ISO/IEC JTC-1 SC 25 development Already in the PACT list but nothing started yet in TC 59
Home Networking in IEC (2) TC 100 has already two projects in TA 4 and TA 8, respectively TA 4: Digital systems interfaces and protocols IEC 62394: Service Diagnostic Interface for ECHONET (CDV has been issued) TA 8: Multimedia home server systems PT 62295: Common communication protocol for generic linkage on heterogeneous networks
Home Networking in IEC (3) TC 100 is expecting additional Projects for Home Networking coming soon A new Technical Area will be created for home networking issues TC 100 takes a direct part on Home Networking Workshop on October 12 and 13, 2005, in Geneva Three presentations on technical topics One join presentation for overview of international standardization issues on Home Networking
Home Networking in SDOs DLNA: Digital Living Network Alliance for providing AV equipment interconnection UPnP AV: Universal Plug and Play Forum provides extended specifications for AV equipment interconnection UOPF: Ubiquitous Open Platform Forum for providing dear-to-dear visual communications EchoNet: This forum is providing interconnection among white appliances in addition to AV equipment
Home Networking in ISO/IEC/ITU IEC TC 100: Interconnecting audio, video and multimedia equipment TA8:Home servers TA4: Interface TA5: Coaxial cabling inside and outside home ISO/IEC JTC-1 SC 25: Pre-wiring and home gateway ITU-T SG 9: For providing set-top box specifications as the gateway of home networking ITU-R WP 6M: Signalling to digital TV receivers for content protection through the air
Audio and Video Synchronization Issues should be resolved Flat panel displays have longer delay time than CRT displays Theater simulated external audio amplifier may trigger the necessity of this project IEC TC 100 starts the circulation 100/941/NP on March 11th, 2005, for A/V synchronization so called Lip Sync SMPTE has AHG Lip Sync group under S22 (ATSC IS-191) ARIB and JEITA have already established a joint working group on this issue
Example of a delay adjustment method Controller manages each latency and adjusts total latency Media Reproducer Video Audio Lv Lv1 e.g. IEC La e.g. HDMI e.g. HDMI Lv2 La1 La2 La3 Display Drive signal Speaker Drive signal Video Display Audio Speakers ( Lv La) Cont Latency descriptor (tentative idea) IEC60958: Latency descriptor with U-bit (Effective when connect to Controller) HDMI Same as IEC60958, and parameter with EDID/CEC 1394 Parameter with AV/C command
Analog video and IEC60958 audio Display Source Analog Video Tds Tdd AV Amp adjusts delay, but cannot know Tdd. Tdd can be adjusted manually. Note: HDMI will be same IEC60958 AV Amp Tda Delay To Speakers
Digital Rights Management TC 100 has already two Project Teams for DRM (Digital Rights Management) PT 62224 TS for Multimedia home server systems Conceptual model for digital rights management (1st CD 2005-06) PT 62227 for Multimedia home server systems - Digital rights permission code (CDV 2007-03)
IPMP Framework in MPEG IPMP: Intellectual Property Management & Protection
Content Protection instead of DRM In ITU, content protection was called as DRM (Digital Rights Management) Recently, ITU-R WP 6M proposed to use content protection instead of DRM Copy Rights are under UNESCO Intellectual property is under WIPO ITU will provide the technical specifications for protecting broadcast contents
Content Protection Model in ITU-R WP 6M R1: Broadcast Interface R2: Acquisition R3: Post-Acquisition R4: Consumption / Display R5: Temporary Storage R6: Export / Distribution R7: Permanent Storage R8: Content Processing
Mobile Reception of Multimedia Broadcasting (1) TC 100 has two Project Teams for DVB-T/H mobile and portable receivers PT 62002-1: Mobile and Portable DVB-T/H Radio Access - Part 1: Interface Specification (CDV voting closed on July 15, 2005) PT 62002-2: Mobile and Portable DVB-T/H Radio Access - Part 2: Interface Conformance Testing (CDV voting closed on July 15, 2005)
Mobile Reception of Multimedia Broadcasting (2) There are five broadcasting systems designed for mobile reception in Report ITU-R BT.2049 ISDB-Tone-segment/T SB (Terrestrial) Digital System E (Satellite and Terrestrial Augmentation) T-DMB (Terrestrial based on Eureka 147) DVB-T/H (Terrestrial, TC 100 TA1) FLO (Terrestrial based on OFDM)
Mobile DVB-H Receivers
Digital System E Receiver (1)
Digital System E Receiver (2) External Antennas Portable Receivers in in Vehicular Environment
Digital System E Receiver (3)
Experimental T-DMB Receivers at IBC 2004
MediaFLO System Architecture The FLO technology is an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based air interface designed specifically for multicasting a significant volume of rich multimedia content cost effectively to wireless subscribers.
Other Important Issue Privacy Protection IEC 62045: Multimedia Security - Guideline for privacy protection of equipment and systems in use and disused ITU-R WP 6M has also started to develop the draft new Recommendation titled Technical method to protect end-users privacy under Question ITU-T 111/6
