1 Welcome to the R&S SMCVB-KS20 option
The R&S SMCVB-KS20 is a stream library contains test streams to support development and test of broadcast television equipment, consumer receivers and TV sets.
This user manual contains a reference description of the functionality that the stream
library provides. All functions not discussed in this manual are described in the
R&S SMCV100B user manual. The latest version is available at:
www.rohde-schwarz.com/manual/SMCV100B
1.1 Key features
The R&S SMCVB-KS20 features:
●
●
●
●
Welcome to the R&S SMCVB-KS20 option
Documentation overview
Numerous test stream files
Streaming of high-quality video contents
Streaming of high-quality audio contents
Efficient use with dedicated streams
All streams with VUI parameters are compliant to ETSI TS 101154 V2.2.1 (2015-06).
For all UHDTV signals, an open GOP (group of pictures) compressing structure is used
for higher picture quality. The drawback of this structure is that a seamless switching
(looping) is not possible. As a result, decoding errors and picture disturbances occur at
the looping point.
1.2 Installation
You can find detailed installation instructions in the supplement document of the
R&S SMCV100B user manual and in the R&S SMCV100B user manual describing
firmware versions FW 4.90.002.xx and later of the R&S SMCV100B.
1.3 What's new
Compared to the previous version there are editorial changes only.
1.4 Documentation overview
This section provides an overview of the R&S SMCV100B user documentation. Unless

2.1.1 Compression standard HEVC H.265
Recommendation ITU T H.265 (high efficiency video coding, HEVC) represents an
evolution of the existing video coding standards ITU T H.262 (usually called MPEG 2)
and ITU T H.264 (advanced video coding, AVC). Besides other needs for higher compression, the standard was developed to enable the transmission of 720p (HD), 1080p
(full HD) and 4k (UHD) videos over broadcast channels.

The moving water generally challenges the compression algorithms, so that some kind
of blocking is noticeable. You can see the effect in both resolutions, because the bit
rate is adapted to the picture size. The picture size is displayed in the left bottom corner of the frame.
2.1.3.4 RS 4k trailer
This video is a long sequence with several scenes. It shows a promotion video of the
Rohde & Schwarz company to demonstrate 4k video. Due to limited editing tools, it
was composed as 25 frames per second video. Because broadcast transmission is
planned with 50 frames per second only, every picture has to be doubled (transmitted
twice).

2.1.4 Test pattern
2.1.4.1 ITU-R BT1729
This video is based on the definition of ITU R BT.1729, where 16:9 and 4:3 test patterns with moving element. Associated audio is defined for the following purposes:
●
Quality control of chrominance and luminance through the production chain
●
Checking and adjusting the chrominance and luminance alignment of broadcast
equipment, particularly video monitors
●
General testing of equipment for video production, emission and presentation
●
Establishing that video circuit is active and associated audio is available.
●
Checking for audio-video synchronization
●
Checking for correct connection of audio channels
●
Checking for correct audio levels

Deviant to the ITU-R BT.1729 definition, the test signals in this library include a
2160 lines version, but do not support real (analog bandwidth limited) frequency sweep
zones. A digital representation is provided instead. Furthermore, a 1 kHz -6 dBFS
audio is included for EMC purposes. Including the audio inhibits two of the original purposes listed above, namely checking for audio-video synchronization and checking for
correct connection of audio channels.

MPEG 1 audio layer 2 is an audio compression format defined by ISO/IEC 11172 3 for
mono and stereo audio signals. It is used for digital television transmission in DVB,
although newer compression formats with more audio channels like Dolby AC 3 and
AAC are becoming common.
