This mechanism may also be applied to other types of metadata for picture quality measurement. The ITU Radioco

10、mmunication Assembly, considering a) that digital broadcasting has been introduced in many countries, and monitoring of the digital broadcasting chain by broadcasters and network operators has become increasingly important; b) that in broadcast operational monitoring, an objective method of automati

11、cally detecting malfunctioning equipment and quality degradation in audiovisual content is needed; c) that the monitoring method should be reliable, efficient, and cost-effective; d) that the cause of degradation such as signal loss, blackouts, freezing, and muting may be transmission paths, equipme

12、nt, human error, or intentional audiovisual effects, and operators have to accurately assess the cause of the alarms and rectify the problems; e) that if appropriate metadata were to be added to the audiovisual content at an early stage of the broadcasting chain, it would make the monitoring system

13、at later stages of the chain more reliable and help operators to analyse the cause of malfunctions or degraded quality, recognizing a) that ITU-R has established Recommendation ITU-R BT.1364 Format of ancillary data signals carried in digital component studio interfaces, which defines the data struc

20、operational monitoring process using metadata in a broadcasting chain is shown in Fig. 1 where operational monitoring is assumed to be conducted at arbitrary monitoring points in a broadcasting chain. Details on the monitoring process are given at the bottom of Fig. 1. This can be summarized as: 1 T

21、he metadata inserted at the upstream monitoring points are extracted. 2 Audio and video signals are analysed at monitoring points to generate metadata. 3 By comparing the current and upstream metadata, the audio and video signals are monitored to determine if any problems have occurred. 4 The metada

22、ta generated at the current monitoring point are added to the metadata history. Only metadata that are used for operational monitoring are updated within the process, and audio, video and any other auxiliary signals are left unchanged. Rec.

The configuration allows the use of different types of metadata, but the same type of metadata is to be used for the series of metadat

26、a in a broadcasting chain. Metadata such as those defined in ITU-T Recommendation J.249 for perceptual picture quality measurement and ITU-T Recommendation J.240 for remote monitoring of transmitted picture signal-to-noise ratio may also be used.

ITU-R BT.1865 The metadata at the monitoring point on the upper end

28、 always appear first, followed by the metadata at the current monitoring point. Other metadata at the previous monitoring points follow in order of those most recently monitored in the broadcasting chain. The number of history items of metadata depends on the capacity of the data area; however, the

29、first two sets of metadata, i.e. the metadata at the monitoring point on the upper end and the current monitoring point, should be retained. When the history items are no longer valid for comparison with the metadata at the down stream monitoring points, the metadata are to be reset. The syntactical

30、 definitions of the metadata are listed in Table 1. The definitions of the header, video parameters, audio parameters, and data parameters of the metadata are given in the following sections.

33、the organization that generated the metadata. The header may contain data_number, video signal_type, audio_sygnal_type, data_signal_type, country_code, organization_code, and user_code. An example of the header is provided in Appendix 1 (to Annex 1). Rec. ITU-R BT.1865 5 data_number indicates the da

34、ta number within the history of metadata. The first metadata inserted at the upper-end monitoring point has a data number of 0, the current metadata has a data number of 1, and the previous metadata has a data number of 2. Due to the restricted size of the user data word (UDW) of an ancillary data p

35、acket, the number of metadata sets as the history is limited. Figure 3 shows the flow chart with respect to managing the metadata history and the data number. When the history is reset, the metadata are to be inserted starting from the data number of 0. FIGURE 3 Management of metadata history and da

In some cases, audio signals may no

39、 monitoring point in an organization designated by four ASCII characters. 2.3 Video parameters The video parameters need to be able to detect video errors between two monitoring points. An example of the video data parameters is provided in Appendix 1. 2.4 Audio parameters The audio parameters need

41、erational monitoring is conveyed by being packetized into the ancillary data packets which are multiplexed with the video and audio signals. 3.1 Format for ancillary data packets for metadata The format for the ancillary data packets of the metadata conforms to Type 2 ancillary data packets as defin

42、ed in Recommendation ITU-R BT.1364, and one word consists of 10 bits in this format. The format for the data packets is given in Fig. 4. DID and SDID need to be assigned.

ITU-R BT.1865 7 3.3 Transport of ancillary data packets The metadata generated for the video, audio, data signals in a given video frame are to be transported by an ancillary data packet attached to the following fr

46、ame. Synchronization between the video frame and the metadata needs to be ensured. Ancillary data packets containing the metadata are transported by one of the following methods: 1 The ancillary data packets are multiplexed into the ancillary data space of the serial digital interface, preferably in

47、 the vertical ancillary space. It is necessary to identify the available data area for this purpose by taking into consideration the current usage by broadcasters of the ancillary data space. 2 The ancillary data packets are multiplexed into the MPEG-2 Transport Stream. This method is specified in I

48、TU-T Recommendation J.187. 3 The ancillary data packets are transported through a path different from that for video and audio signals. This method requires a means for synchronization between the ancillary data packets and video and audio signals. Appendix 1 (to Annex 1) Example of metadata for ope
