ITU-T J.297 (11/2016) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (

6、ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every fou

7、r years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the

8、 necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. H

9、owever, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negat

10、ive equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use

11、 of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation,

ITU-T J.297 (11/2016) Introduction 4K ultra high definition television (UHDTV) service provides better video quality than 2K high definition television (HDTV) service. It has been already deployed in a varie

19、ty of media markets such as movies, mobile communications and personal computers. Some first commercial products (e.g., TV sets with 4K screen) and 4K IP-VoD services already are emerging on the markets. On the other hand, a new video coding method which provides twice as much compression efficiency

20、 as AVC ITU-T H.264 was standardized as HEVC ITU-T H.265. Much higher quality video services are possible in the broadcasting field thanks to this technology. Under these circumstances, a 4K video service trial for the 2014 world cup was conducted in Brazil, and in 2015 a 4K video commercial service

21、 was started by satellite broadcasting, IPTV and cable networks. As a consequence it was expected that by the time of the next Olympic games in 2016 in Brazil, many cable customers had been enjoying higher-resolution television programmes at home by STB. Considering the rapid development of 4K UHDTV

22、 on the global market, this Recommendation, which focuses on the requirements and functional specifications for 4K UHDTV, was needed. The support of HEVC video decoding for 4K resolutions of the Internet protocol television (IPTV) terminal device are specified in ITU-T H.721. Rec. ITU-T J.297 (11/20

37、ent Protocol Version 1.4. 3 Definitions 3.1 Terms defined elsewhere This Recommendation uses the following term defined elsewhere: 3.1.1 ultra high definition television (UHDTV) ITU-R BT.2020: UHDTV provides viewers with an enhanced visual experience primarily by a wider field of view that covers a

38、considerable part of the human natural visual field with appropriate screen sizes relevant to usage at home and in public places. Signal formats contributing to increasing the compression efficiency are desirable for UHDTV systems as they have a larger number of pixels than HDTV systems. 3.2 Terms d

44、n Demand 5 Conventions The keywords “is required to“ indicate a requirement which must be strictly followed and from which no deviation is permitted if conformance to this document is to be claimed. The keywords “is recommended“ indicate a requirement which is recommended but which is not absolutely

45、 required. Thus this requirement need not be present to claim conformance. The keywords “is prohibited from“ indicate a requirement which must be strictly followed and from which no deviation is permitted if conformance to this document is to be claimed. The keywords “can optionally“ indicate an opt

46、ional requirement which is permissible, without implying any sense of being recommended. This term is not intended to imply that the vendors implementation must provide the option and the feature can be optionally enabled by the network operator/service provider. Rather, it means the vendor may opti

47、onally provide the feature and still claim conformance with the specification. In the body of this document and its annexes, the words shall, shall not, should and may sometimes appear, in which case they are to be interpreted, respectively as, is required to, is prohibited from, is recommended and

48、can optionally. The appearance of such phrases or keywords in an appendix or in material explicitly marked as informative are to be interpreted as having no normative intent. 6 Overview 6.1 4K cable system See Figure 6-1 as an example of 4K cable system. 4K cable content can be obtained from 4K prog

49、rams broadcasted by satellite stations. Cable operators may also capture 4K video content by themselves. In addition some providers offer 4K video. 4K video content encoded by HEVC ITU-T H.265 is transmitted over RF/QAM-based or IP-based systems through the cable network and received at 4K cable STB. 4K video content can be transmitted via existing HFC transport network which handles 64QAM and/or 256QAM as RF transmission. 4K video content can also be transmitted
