A DVB-Compliant Electronic Cinema Solution
This paper describes a DVB-compliant HDTV transmission system for Electronic Cinema applications. Such applications include classical film projection as well as live event transmissions into cinema theatres. The concept has been successfully proven within the CyberCinema ESPRIT project under the lead of the European Audiovisual Center, Babelsberg, Germany. — The CyberCinema demonstrator has shown the feasibility of electronic film distribution via satellite to cinemas. A demonstration including five cinemas allover Europe has been set up in October 1998 showing outstanding picture quality and verifying the robustness of the DVB-compliant transmission system. — In this paper we will focus on the HDTV codec “Universal Coding System” used within this project and the implementation of DVB compliant in-band signalling using DVB Service Information (SI).
