In-Band Control of PSIP Translation
The ATSC Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP) provides certain information in a digital television (DTV) broadcast stream that helps a DTV receiver correctly identify and tune to the virtual channels in the broadcast stream. In situations where a DTV signal is received and retransmitted, some of the PSIP information may need to be translated in order to accurately reflect the parameters of the new transmission. This paper proposes an in-band control mechanism that uses the broadcast stream itself to carry remote control information to a PSIP translation system in such cases, and it discusses the advantages of this method over others.
