13、ive Digital Video Signals on 1.5 Gb/s and 3 Gb/s Interfaces 3 Introduction Dolby Laboratories has developed Dolby E, a method of reducing the data rate of PCM (baseband) audio signals while preserving the subjective quality of the audio through up to ten encode decode cycles. The data rate reduction

14、 ratio allows up to eight audio signals to be carried in a single AES3 digital audio stream. Further, the Dolby E encoded audio data is transmitted as a sequence of blocks of data, separated by guard band intervals containing null data. Dolby E encoders generate data blocks that are synchronized wit

15、h video frame rates of up to 30 frames per second. The guard bands between blocks are co-located with the Vertical Interval Switch points of the associated video signal, so that the Dolby E data stream and the video may be switched without causing any disruption of the encoded data and hence no disr

16、uption of the decoded audio signals. The Dolby E data blocks cannot be generated at higher than a 30-Hz rate, thus cannot be switched at higher rates without corrupting the data. If a Dolby E stream is to be switched simultaneously with a progressive video signal operating at 50 or 60 frames per sec

17、ond, then the Dolby E data stream may only be switched on a Progressive frame (or P Frame See Terms and Definitions) boundary that occurs during the Dolby E guard band intervals, or in other words, on every second P Frame boundary. SMPTE RP 168 states that “with both interlaced video at a specific f

18、rame rate and progressive video at double that frame rate, devices handling the progressive video should be referenced to a signal derived from an interlaced format at the interlaced frame rate. Having established this referencing relationship, progressive video devices should switch using the recom

19、mended line during Field 1 of the reference signal”. As can be seen in Figure 1, since the Dolby E guard band intervals are aligned with Field 1, the Dolby E data will not be harmed by an audio-follow-video switch of a progressive signal operating at greater than 30-Hz rate as long as the switch hap

25、erlaced or Progressive. Examples are 525/59.94/I, 1125/50/I, 750/60/P. Note that other notation systems state the number of active lines, the serial interface structure and the number of complete pictures per second. Examples are 1080I/25 and 1080P/50. An Interlaced raster structure consists of a pa

26、ir of Fields, called Fields 1 and 2, or the Odd and Even fields. The complete image is called a Frame (or an I Frame) and consists of Fields 1 and 2. A Progressive raster structure consists of a sequence of complete images, called P Frames. Notionally, each P Frame can be temporally related to one F

27、ield of an Interlaced television system operating at half the frame rate of the progressive system. The P Frame temporally related to Field 1 is called P Frame 1 or the Odd P Frame, and the P Frame temporally related to Field 2 is called P Frame 2, or the Even P Frame.

29、 the frame synchronizer to operate in a “Dolby E safe” mode, allowing clean downstream switching. Two points must be considered in designing such a frame synchronizer: 1) Any frame synchronizer must drop (or repeat) two P Frames, instead of one. The benefit of keeping Dolby E aligned by this method

30、is considered to be worthwhile given the potential small motion artifact observed when dropping 2 progressive frames. 2) The P Frames to be dropped (or repeated) must be a P Frame 1 and P Frame 2 pair (in that order) and must be aligned with the start of the Dolby E block.

37、te that the single P Frames dropped correspond to half of a Dolby E data block. Just having a progressive frame synchronizer lock to a 25 or 30 Frames per second (fps) signal, and dropping two P Frames instead of one is not enough to ensure undamaged Dolby E. The synchronizer must drop (or repeat) a

38、 P Frame 1, P Frame 2 pair (in that order) to avoid the 50% risk of starting the two P Frame drop sequence incorrectly, with a P Frame 2. This would also mean that downstream equipment relying on the same 25 or 30 fps reference to correctly switch Dolby E cannot guarantee error-free switching. SMPTE

42、ced reference and the P Frame One, P Frame Two cadence The solution is to lock the frame synchronizer to a 25 or 30 fps reference signal, and to detect the Dolby E header to determine where the P Frame One, P Frame Two cadence begins, and hence where to start the two P Frame drop sequence, as shown

43、in Figure 5. See Section 7 - Dolby E. Detection. Frame synchronizers could also re-align the Dolby E on the incoming HD-SDI signal to the appropriate position. This would add the benefit of ensuring all embedded Dolby E outputs are not only error-free during frame drops, but also correctly aligned f

44、or further processing / switching, etc. The realignment results in a two P Frame delay with a 0.5 to 1.5 Dolby E data block delay.

By searching for the end of a Dolby E data block as well as the beginning, a frame synchronizer could eliminate the kind of errors shown in Figure 3, caused by dropping single P Frame, or a switch during the P Frame 2, P Frame 1 transition. Pairs of P
