[PATCH 09/15] [media] DocBook/dvbproperty.xml: Reorganize the parameters

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Put the parameters at the sequencial order as they appear inside
the frontend.h header.

TODO: fix the per-standard section, to reflect the parameters
that should actually be used for each transmission system type.

-				<constant>SUBCHANNEL-ID</constant> in all details, but it is my understanding of the technical
-				background needed to program a device)</para>
-
-			<para>An ISDB-Tsb channel (1 or 3 segments) can be broadcasted alone or in a
-				set of connected ISDB-Tsb channels. In this set of channels every
-				channel can be received independently. The number of connected
-				ISDB-Tsb segment can vary, e.g. depending on the frequency spectrum
-				bandwidth available.</para>
-
-			<para>Example: Assume 8 ISDB-Tsb connected segments are broadcasted. The
-				broadcaster has several possibilities to put those channels in the
-				air: Assuming a normal 13-segment ISDB-T spectrum he can align the 8
-				segments from position 1-8 to 5-13 or anything in between.</para>
-
-			<para>The underlying layer of segments are subchannels: each segment is
-				consisting of several subchannels with a predefined IDs. A sub-channel
-				is used to help the demodulator to synchronize on the channel.</para>
-
-			<para>An ISDB-T channel is always centered over all sub-channels. As for
-				the example above, in ISDB-Tsb it is no longer as simple as that.</para>
-
-			<para><constant>The DTV_ISDBT_SB_SUBCHANNEL_ID</constant> parameter is used to give the
-				sub-channel ID of the segment to be demodulated.</para>

-			<title>Hierarchical layers</title>
-
-			<para>ISDB-T channels can be coded hierarchically. As opposed to DVB-T in
-				ISDB-T hierarchical layers can be decoded simultaneously. For that
-				reason a ISDB-T demodulator has 3 viterbi and 3 reed-solomon-decoders.</para>
-
-			<para>ISDB-T has 3 hierarchical layers which each can use a part of the
-				available segments. The total number of segments over all layers has
-				to 13 in ISDB-T.</para>
-
-			<section id="DTV-ISDBT-LAYER-ENABLED">
-				<title><constant>DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED</constant></title>
-
-				<para>Hierarchical reception in ISDB-T is achieved by enabling or disabling
-					layers in the decoding process. Setting all bits of
-					<constant>DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED</constant> to '1' forces all layers (if applicable) to be
-					demodulated. This is the default.</para>
-
-				<para>If the channel is in the partial reception mode
-					(<constant>DTV_ISDBT_PARTIAL_RECEPTION</constant> = 1) the central segment can be decoded
-					independently of the other 12 segments. In that mode layer A has to
-					have a <constant>SEGMENT_COUNT</constant> of 1.</para>
-
-				<para>In ISDB-Tsb only layer A is used, it can be 1 or 3 in ISDB-Tsb
