As network technology evolves fast, media contents of particular countries are being consumed in not only the countries but also other countries around the world. Like this, in case that a particular media content is consumed in various country, method for inserting or replacing in-program ads which are appropriate to national/regional environment seems needed. For this, this paper proposes measures to insert in-program ads on hybrid broadcast environment based on MMT, next generation broadcasting standard. This paper analyzed structure of MMT, designed a system for verifying the proposed system and showed the result of experiment.

지상파 UHD 방송은 2017년 세계 최초로 본방송이 시작되었고 2018년 평창 올림픽과 러시아 월드컵을 지상파 UHD 방송으로 중계하면서 성장해 왔다. 그런데 최근 급변하는 미디어 기술과 코로나 19 팬데믹 이후 미디어 시장이 요동치며 미디어 이용 플랫폼과 콘텐츠 그리고 미디어 이용 기기별 사용 시간에도 많은 변화가 생기고 있다. 이에 따라 지난 2017년 본 방송 이후 지상파 UHD 방송에 대한 시청자들의 이용 실태 및 인식 변화에 대한 조사의 필요성이 대두하게 됐다. UHD KOREA와 KBS 공영미디어 연구소는 UHD 방송에 대한 인지도와 시청의향, TV 크기의 변화, TV와 인터넷 연결 여부 등 미디어 환경변화에 따른 시청자의 미디어 이용 형태를 공동으로 조사했다. 그리고 지상파 UHD 방송의 추가 서비스의 선호도와 선호 콘텐츠, OTT 이용 여부 등에 대하여도 분석했다. 지상파 UHD 방송은 고화질, 다채널, 모바일, 재난방송, 양방향 서비스 등 ATSC 3.0 기술을 기반으로 다양한 최신 서비스를 제공하는 것이 가능하다. 이러한 조사 결과는 향후 지상파 UHD 방송 및 미디어 정책의 수립과 추진의 기초 자료로 활용될 것이다.

In this paper, a method of MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) multiplexing for Ultra HDTV (UHDTV) and its design and implementation as a SW tool is described. In practice, UHD video may be divided into several HD videos and each video is encoded in parallel. Therefore, it is necessary to synchronize and multiplex multiple bitstreams encoding each HD video for transmitting and storing UHD video. In this paper, it is assumed that 4 HD videos partitioning a UHD spatially are encoded as H.264/AVC and two 5.0 channel audios are encoded by AC-3. Therefore, 4 H.264/AVC elementary streams (ESs) and 2 AC-3 ESs is mainly considered in the TS multiplexing of UHD. For the carriage of H.264/AVC and AC-3 over MPEG-2 TS, PES packetization and TS multiplexing are designed and implemented based on the extended specification of the MPEG-2 Systems and ATSC (Digital audio compressed standard), respectively. The implemented UHD TS multiplexing tool emulates real time HW operation in the time unit corresponding to the duration of one TS packet transmission in a given TS rate. In particular, in order to satisfy the timing model, the buffers defined in the TS System Target Decoder (T-STD) are monitored and their statuses are considered in the scheduling of TS multiplexing. For UHD multiplexing, two kinds of multiplexing structures, which are UHD re-multiplexing and UHD program multiplexing, are implemented and their strength and weakness are investigated. The developed UHD TS multiplexing tool is tested and verified in terms of the syntax and semantics conformance and functionalities by using a commercial analyzer and real-time presentation tools.

World's leading countries are developing next generation digital broadcasting system specifications to support UHDTV (ultra-high definition television) contents and other various services. In order to maximize the transmission capacity by using the bandwidth efficiently, most broadcasting systems adopt MIMO-OFDM. In distributed-MIMO systems, multiple transmit antennas are spatially separated and therefore result in multiple timing offsets. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a technique using a null symbol to detect each individual signal from distributed transmit antennas. By inserting null symbols before preambles, the receiver can distinguish the signals between each transmit antennas and perform frame synchronization. When the reception time difference is shorter than 500 samples, the proposed method outperforms the conventional method.
