Development of an SMPTE Standard for the Digital Interface between the ATV Transport Multiplexer and the VSB Transmitter

Raymond C. Hauge, Bernard J. Lechner

SMPTE has been asked by the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) to develop standards for the interfaces between the various subsystems that make up a complete compressed digital television broadcast plant. One of the interfaces is the interface between the output of the studio multiplexer that creates the MPEG-2 compliant ATV transport stream and the input to the VSB broadcast transmitter. In response to the ATSC request, SMPTE has created an Ad Hoc Group to develop this interface standard. This paper will describe the work of this Ad Hoc Group and present a report on its progress.
