Book excerpt: A ROADMAP FOR IMPLEMENTING THE ATSC DATA BROADCAST STANDARD The ATSC Data Broadcast Standard provides the means to transform digital TV signals from plain vanilla audio/video to 57-flavor broadband digital data delivery, opening a universe of device and service possibilities. Authored by four of the standard’s lead writers -- Richard Chernock, Regis Crinon, Michael Dolan, and John R. Mick, Jr. -- Data Broadcasting is the first guide to the new ATSC standard. These experts help you: *Understand the concepts behind standard provisions for carrying any type of data over MPEG-2 data transport mechanisms *Implement the standard in real-world service creation and rollouts *Enable a new generation of set-top boxes, hand-held devices, and PC add-in cards for handling both data and streaming video *Configure stand-alone data injection and data injection associated with video and audio programs *Define the optimal transmittal method for any type of data *Resolve system architecture, receiver-reference design, data categorization, and encapsulation questions *Solve announcement, and discovery and binding mechanisms problems *Avoid implementation pitfalls with encapsulation examples, illustrated layering, and buffer models
