ITU-R BS.1738-1 1 RECOMMENDATION ITU-R BS.1738-1 Identification and ordering of 4 and 8 track audio channels carried on international contribution circuits (Question ITU-R 37/6) (2007-2015

9、) Scope This Recommendation provides the means to identify the allocation of multiple audio signals on international contribution circuits as well as the preferred ordering of these signals. The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that the exchange of television programmes is very import

10、ant and extensive; b) that there is a requirement to transmit more than one sound signal including stereophony with a television picture; c) that within a television channel as used in present systems several sound channels could be accommodated; d) that Recommendation ITU-R BR.779 Operating practic

11、es for digital television recording; contains allocation of mono, stereo and multichannel audio channels, and the use of audio channels as data recording channels for international exchange of digitally recorded television programmes; e) that Recommendation ITU-R BS.1726 Signal level of digital audi

12、o accompanying television in international programme exchange recommends reference level and permitted maximum level (PML) of digital audio signal for international programme exchange; f) that international identification of media content and of the format used for programme exchange offers both eco

13、nomical and operational advantages; g) that an alignment of operational practices used in connection with the identification of the content and format of sound programmes is highly desirable; h) that a technique is applied where simultaneous availability of a line-up tone on the channels present in

14、stereo and multi-channel modes so that the phase relationship between channels can be checked to mitigate a 180 phase reversal; i) that transmission systems with bit-rate reduced coding for multichannel sound transmission are in use in several countries; j) that production scenarios increasingly inv

15、olve eight audio channels for 5.1 surround sound; k) that coding of multi-track sound into an audio multiplex for audio production in many programme genres is increasing as a requirement for international programme exchange for sound and television broadcasting; l) that specifications for internatio

16、nal exchange of programmes with multiple channel audio is subject to contractual and commercials arrangements among the broadcasters and programme rights holders; m) that many administrations are becoming increasingly involved in the exchange of television programme material, 2 Rec. ITU-R BS.1738-1

17、recommends 1 that, if audio channel identification is required or in use, then the signalling should at least provide minimum information to ensure that downstream of the source any user can unambiguously determine the channel number and thus the content; 2 that the reference signal of each channel

18、in a stereo signal should be a 1 000 Hz alignment tone at the reference level of either 18 dB FS or 20 dB FS in accordance with Recommendation ITU-R BS.1726, interrupted at least once every 30 s by a voice announcement indicating the channel number and optionally the source name; 3 that in stereo an

19、d multi-channel contribution circuits the reference tone should be applied simultaneously to all channels to aid in confirming correct phase relationship between channels at the destination end; 4 that the use of the channels to carry the various audio components of the programme should be mutually

20、agreed in advance among the parties concerned; 5 that in the absence of such advance agreement, the use of channels indicated in Annexes 1, 2 and 3 should be preferred for the production scenarios described in it; 6 that Annexes 1, 2 and 3 should be extended, when required, to reflect other scenario

21、s. Annex 1 Identification and ordering of four track audio channels carried on international contribution circuits This Annex describes preferred identification of audio channels for production scenarios for stereophonic or monophonic sound programs using four audio channels in the absence of advanc

22、ed mutual agreement among the parties concerned. Production scenario 1 This scenario is the one in which the commentator of the destination broadcaster is located at the destination broadcasters facility. In this case the destination broadcaster will often translate the host guide commentary from th

23、e host language and make a new mix of local commentary with international sound. Two instances are considered in Table 1, namely, stereophonic or monophonic sound. TABLE 1 Channel number Stereo audio signal Monophonic audio signal 1 International sound (stereo effects Lt) International sound (mono)

24、2 International sound (stereo effects Rt) International sound (mono) 3 Guide commentary (stereo Lt) Guide commentary (mono) 4 Guide commentary (stereo Rt) Guide commentary (mono) International Sound = Music + Effects + Interview Dialogue Rec. ITU-R BS.1738-1 3 Guide Commentary Stereo, Host Language

25、as Lt/Rt = Music + Effects + Dialogue Interview dialogue is voice signals during interviews between host broadcast commentators and interviewees. Guide commentary is provided by the host broadcaster for the purpose of guidance for those providing commentary at the destination(s). NOTE 1 In situation

26、s where monophonic sound or guide commentary is required it is recommended that both channels carry the same monophonic audio as shown in Table 1 to avoid operation confusion. NOTE 2 In this Recommendation, the terms Lt, and Rt are used only to differentiate these channels of a stereo signal from th

27、e front left and front right channels of a surround sound program. In other contexts, the terms Lt, Rt, Lo, and Ro, are used to denote downmixes of a surround sound signal wherein the left surround and right surround channels have been combined with the front left and front right channels. In those

28、contexts, Lt and Rt denote a “matrix encoded surround mix” in which the surround signals have been summed, and the sum added to the front left and front right channels, with 90 and 90 phase shifts respectively. This creates a pair of signals that can be decoded to recreate a surround experience. Lo

29、and Ro (not used in this Recommendation) denote a downmix in which the left surround channel is added to the left front channel, the right surround signal is added to the front right channel, without a phase shift being applied to either. In both cases the centre channel signal is also added to fron

30、t left and front right. In both cases, the signals that are added to front left and front right are, in general, attenuated before they are added. The amount of attenuation for Lt and Rt is 3 dB, but for Lo and Ro may be chosen to suit the nature of the programme material. In this Recommendation, th

31、ere is no implication of the nature of the stereo channels. Production scenario 2 This scenario is the one in which the destination broadcaster has a commentator located at the host broadcasters facility and this commentary is mixed with international sound in the destination facility.

Production scenario 4 This scenario involves the international exchange of programs using 5.1 audio in which the outbound circuits from the broadcaster include a fully integrate stream of programs, com

43、rties concerned. 6 Rec. ITU-R BS.1738-1 Production scenario 7 This scenario is possible when the Host broadcaster can provide a multichannel mix (typically 5.1) and this is required by the Destination broadcaster. The centre channel of the multichannel mix may be either in the Host or Destination la

44、nguage. If it is in the Host language then the defined primary contents of contribution channels 3 and 4 are necessary to enable the Destination broadcaster to create a new centre channel for its transmission. Depending on the type of Audio Multiplex used, there may be a relative timing issue with r

45、espect to vision which will need to be corrected when the new centre channel is created.
