Rebuilding the transport stream (DASH)
The Encoder builds a manifest file (called the Media Presentation Description)
The MPD is transmitted periodically to the Decoder to show the media ready for
transmission from the Encoder. Depending on the feedback from the Decoder,
an appropriately encoded file segment is requested and transmitted by the
Encoder. The stream of file chunks fetched by the Decoder consists of different
sizes i.e. bit rates.

 The incoming files are collated by the Decoder and re-encoded into a video that

is sent out either as a Transport Stream or over the SDI.

 The bit rate of the encoded video can be defined by feedback from the Decoder.

 Supported modes are:

1.2.2 Characteristics of an Unmanaged Network

Typically, the last mile link or DSL network offers no Quality of Service (QOS) and
has varying bandwidth capacity. It exhibits congestion limiting use for constant bit
rate (CBR) services. This results in Congestive Packet Loss because the network
is unable to support the amount of traffic it receives. There are, also, Transmission
Bit Errors resulting from transmission channel noise, distortion, signal weakness,
bit synchronization, or attenuation.

Introduction

As the available bandwidth varies over time, which could be due to a number of
reasons e.g. more people sharing the same bandwidth in fibre networks or rain fade
for Ka-band satellite services and Microwave links, the IP network exhibits
congestion.

When networks suffer congestion, this prevents the use of CBR services as the IP
network is unable to support the required bandwidth. There could also be some
transmission errors that are exhibited.

In practice, because there is a low probability of bit-error related packet loss, almost
all packet loss in terrestrial IP networks is caused by network congestion.

1.2.3 SVP 2000 Video Processor Solution

The driver for adopting this solution is either capital expenditure savings or new lines
of revenue.

 High capital expenditure results from the occasional use of an expensive

Satellite uplink or an expensive high-capacity fibre link.

 New lines of revenue can result from the ability to provide existing content over

cheaper links than other providers thereby enabling a viable business model.

The basic concept is to exchange video from one location to another over an
unmanaged network (generally public IP).

1.2.4 When to Use RTP/UDP Mode

In most cases, the SVP 2000 will use the ABR mode. However, there may be cases
where the use of RTP/UDP mode is preferable. These cases are:

1. Where there is guaranteed bandwidth available between the Encoder and
Decoder

2. Where latency between the Encoder and Decoder needs to be reduced

Decoder

Video

+

Audio

SVP2000/BAS/RX

3. If there is suspicion that there is a possibility of data corruption on the network –
enabling FEC would help protect against data corruption.

Note: There is the ability to add FEC to the ABR mode. Adding FEC will increase

latency. Therefore for most applications, ABR mode would be used.

4. ABR uses Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) protocol for transmission and
requires an acknowledgement for every packet transmitted. If
acknowledgements take a long time to be delivered, the protocol assumes
network congestion. For IP over satellite (KA Band), these acknowledgements
could be long and as such may not be usable.

Note: There is the

ability to do ABR over UDP instead of TCP. This should then

allow the use of IP networks over satellite bands.

Caution!

In RTP/UDP mode, only a single profile, fixed bit rate is transferred between the
Encoder and the Decoder.

1.3 SVP 2000 Video Processor Basics

1.3.1 Key System Elements

The key elements of the DASH system are:

 the Encoder

- the files created and stored

- the manifest file is compiled

- the file playout

 the Decoder

- rebuild of the transport stream

- control of the rate of media transfer

Introduction

The video comes into the Encoder, either via SDI or as a Transport Stream over a
GigE connector, it creates up to five profiles and a manifest file. Each video profile is
DASH segmented as a file.

The bit rates for each segmented file available for transmission are recorded in the
manifest file.

The Decoder monitors the receive data rate (measured time for known file size).
Depending on the request from the Decoder, the Encoder transmits appropriately
encoded file segments.

The stream of file chunks fetched by the Decoder consists of different sizes i.e. bit
rates. The incoming files are then collated by the decoder and re-encoded into a
video that is sent out either as a transport stream or over the SDI. The bit rate of the
encoded video can also be defined at the Decoder

1.3.2 Video Profiles

The video stream input is fed into the Encoder which creates a number of different
bit rate profiles of the same video. At the Decoder, the lowest bit rate profile is pulled
and the data transfer speed over the network is checked. If the data transfer is
quicker than the playout time of the video, the Decoder requests a higher bit rate for
the segment. If this gets through quicker than the playout time, the Decoder
requests an even higher rate profile. Eventually, a requested profile will fail to get
though in the playout time. At this point, the Decoder requests the lower rate.

EN/LZT 790 0046/1 R1A

1-9

Introduction

The amount of data that can be transferred across a network may change because
the bandwidth changes over time. However, because the Decoder is continuously
monitoring the amount of data it can receive through the network, the encoded bit
rate is managed (using profiles) such that there will be video delivered through the
network. The transport stream is rebuilt from the file segments created using the
appropriate video profiles.

1.3.3 SVP 2000 Video Processor Operating Modes

There are two modes of operation for the SVP 2000:

 Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH1)

This uses the MPEG-DASH format whereby the incoming video is encoded into
multiple bit rates files (profiles) of small playout times (generally two seconds).
Each of these files is then presented as available to the decoder. The decoder,
depending upon the available bandwidth, selects the appropriate size file that it
can extract from the encoder so that it can then be recreated into video without
any gaps. As the video bit rate is adapted for the available network, this
methodology is generally referred to as Adaptive Bit Rate (ABR). This is
probably the most common method that will be used for unmanaged networks.

 Real-time Transfer Protocol (RTP) / User Datagram Protocol (UDP) unicast or

multicast.
Over an IP network, there are a number of protocols that can be run. The ABR
method uses the TCP protocol whereby an acknowledgement is provided for
every delivered packet. For the RTP/UDP method, a packet is transmitted and
assumed that it will be delivered i.e. there is no guarantee of delivery. Although
this may appear to be not a secure transmission method, it is the method that is
best suited for video delivery. As there is no acknowledgement for packet
receipt, there is the option of FEC (Forward Error Correction) to ensure that if
there is any corruption in the data packet then FEC can be used to recover the
video.

The availability of the RTP-TS mode is governed by the license on the unit.

Caution!

Both the Encoder and Decoder need to operate in the same mode.

1.3.4 Bandwidth Efficiency Over Unmanaged Networks (DASH)

This SVP 2000 Video Processor provides a solution for maximizing bandwidth
efficiency over unmanaged networks (where bandwidth of unmanaged network is
variable).

They work as a pair allowing the transport of high-quality video material over the
Internet using DASH.

 The Encoder (SVP2000/BAS/EN) takes an SDI input and provides a segmented

DASH output.

 The Decoder (SVP2000/BAS/RX) takes this DASH stream and decodes it back

to an SDI output.

1.3.5 Networks With Some Guaranteed Bandwidth (RTP/UDP)

This SVP 2000 configuration offers RTP/UDP with SMPTE 2022-2 Forward Error
Correction (FEC) for recovering IP packets on lossy networks (where there is some
guarantee of bandwidth availability on the unmanaged network).

Introduction

The SVP 2000 Video Processor Encoder and Decoder work as a pair allowing the
transport of high-quality video material over the Internet using RTP/UDP with
Forward Error Correction (FEC).

 The Encoder (SVP2000/BAS/EN) takes an SDI input and provides an RTP

stream.

 The Decoder (SVP2000/BAS/RX) takes this RTP stream and decodes it back to

an SDI output.

Introduction

1.4 Characteristics of IP Transfer Mechanisms

1.4.1 Quality of Service

Scalable video systems need multi-rate delivery to ensure optimal Quality of
Service. An SVP 2000 Video Processor pair is able to generate up to five variant
video streams. To cover a wide range of bandwidth use cases, those variant
streams typically have decreasing bit rate, resolution and/or frame rate.

Note: Multi rate audio is not supported.

The SVP 2000 Video Processor pair is able to seamlessly switch between those
variants streams, to resist network glitches and bandwidth changes.

1.4.2 Video Latency

In the contribution market, there are basically two types of content:

 one that CANNOT tolerate any latency e.g. major sporting events like Olympics,

World cups, and

 content that CAN tolerate latency like pre-packaged programs, tier-2 sports

content, PEG (Public, Educational and Government) channels.

The SVP 2000 solution may be applicable for some markets (e.g. breaking news)
where live streams are required. However predominantly it is aimed where delays in
video are acceptable.

The SVP 2000 introduces some delays and as such from the time the video is
received, encoded, transmitted, decoded and pictures obtained, there will be some
delays.

1.4.3 Typical Use Cases

The following lists some of the uses for SVP 2000 system:

 Regional News Bureaus

- Broader news coverage

A sub-set of regional news case is breaking news. Here the operator would
like to get a van out to the location. The reporter/camera operator would
connect the SVP 2000 using a public network back to the studio which could
even be a 3G network. As the IP network bandwidth could be variable, the
quality of the contributed video would vary. This may be fine for the initial
news story as they would be on site while events are happening. However,
the unit is able to store the highest profile on an attached USB. Once the
story has been contributed, the highest profile can be uploaded in non-real
time back to the studio. In this way the highest quality content is available for
subsequent bulletins.

Introduction

- Interconnects facilities in remote regions
The goal is for each of the regions to provide news back to the main studios
as cheaply as possible. Thus allowing facilities to interconnect remote
regions. These regions may want to contribute their few minutes of news as
a packaged program thus providing broader news coverage.

 Tier 2 Sports Coverage

- Extends coverage of regional events
The SVP 2000 provides a cost effective way to get content distributed. For
example, an operator could have valuable content and therefore having an
affordable contribution or distribution system would provide a new revenue
stream.

- Delivery of content over unmanaged networks
Another application could be the use of this technology at local sports
venues to feed minor sporting events like college football or minor league
baseball games or allows coverage of some of the niche events where
putting in a dedicated link would be cost prohibitive.

 Content contribution from remote sites

- Provides cost effective mechanism for contribution
Third use case is where an operator is mandated to carry content from
remote sites e.g. must carry channels, PEG channels or some niches
channels. These channels again may not be of higher value to the operator
but they have to carry them.

- Allows use of standard public IP networks to reduce costs
Putting in expensive links like satellite or fibre may be prohibitive. SVP 2000
could offer a cost-effective alternative

 Backup

- Setup as a backup link in the event of an emergency.
An operator could have an expensive primary link, but could use the SVP
2000 over an IP link in the event of an emergency thus providing a cost
effective backup link.
