 INTRODUCTION

DTH stands for DIRECT-TO-HOME television.

DTH is defined as:
 The reception of satellite programmers with a personal dish in
an individual home.
DTH does away with the need for the local cable operator and puts the
broadcaster directly in touch with consumer .
 WHAT IS COMMUNICATION
SATELLITE
 A communications satellite (sometimes abbreviated
to COMSAT) is an artificial satellite stationed in space for the
purpose of telecommunications.

 Modern communications satellites use a variety of orbits

including geostationary orbits, Molniya orbits,
other elliptical orbits and low (polar and non-polar) Earth orbits.

 They are also used for mobile applications such as

communications to ships, vehicles, planes and hand-held terminals,
and for TV and radio broadcasting, for which application of other
technologies, such as cable, is impractical or impossible.
WHAT IS DVBS2
 Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite - Second
Generation (DVB-S2) is designed as a successor
for the popular DVB-S digital television broadcast
standard,
 It was developed in 2003 and ratified by ETSI (EN
302307) in March 2005.
 It is based on DVB-S and the 
electronic news-gathering (or Digital Satellite News
Gathering) standard, used by mobile units for
sending sounds and images from remote locations
world-wide back to their home television stations.
 NewDVB standard for digitial satellite
communications
Up to 30% bandwidth saving
Up to 2.5 dB margin gain

 Meantto replace DVB-S & DVB-DSNG

New features such as:
Support of multiple streams on a single carrier
Variable and Adaptive Coding and Modulation

 Much better spectral efficiency

So close to the Shannon limit that it could be the last
DVB-S standard!
WHY DO WE NEED DVBS2

 Increased data throughput in a given

bandwidth, or
 Use less satellite capacity and save money
 Increased availability through improved
link margin – More robust
 Increased coverage area
 Smaller dish
HISTORY OF DTH

 DTH services were first proposed in INDIA in 1996. But was

not approved due to
the concerns over national security.

 Finally, in 2000 DTH was allowed and it was Doordarshan

which make it possible to provide its facilities to consumers
from 1st April 2000.

 Broadcasters like STAR and ZEE are pushing hard for DTH
services in INDIA.

 The operators were required to setup earth stations in

INDIA within 12 month for getting license of broadcasting
whose cost was $2.14 million and will be valid for 10 years
NETWORK OF DTH
For a DTH network to be transmitted and received, the following
components are needed.
•Broadcasting Centre
•Satellites
•Encoders
•Multiplexers
•Modulators
•DTH receivers
 MAIN FEAUTERS OF DVBS2
 A flexibleinput stream adapter, suitable for operation with
single and multiple input streams of various formats
(packetized or continuous);

A powerful FEC system based on LDPC (Low-Density Parity

Check) codes concatenated with BCH codes,
Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) functionality,
optimizing channel coding and modulation on a
frame-by-frame basis.

Broadcast Services (BS) Digital multi-programme

Television (TV)/High Definition Television (HDTV)
HOW DOES DTH DIFFER FROM CABLE TV…?

In DTH, TV channels would be transmitted from the satellite to

a small dish antenna of the subscriber's home.

 The broadcaster directly connects to the user. The middlemen

like local cable operators are not there in the picture.

 DTH followed cable TV in Urban while in Rural, it was riding

on its own but the cable TV is limited in Urban areas.

 DTH will be definitely more expensive than cable as it exists

today.
IS DTH SUPERIOR TO CABLE TV…?
 DTH offers better quality picture than cable TV.

 DTH offers stereophonic sound effects.

 It can also reach remote areas where terrestrial

transmission and cable TV have failed to penetrate.

 DTH has also allows for interactive TV services such as

Internet access, video conferencing and e-mail.

The thing that DTH has going for it is that the powerful
broadcasting companies like Star, Zee, etc are pushing for it.

FUTURE PROSEPECTS OF DTH…

The DTH market in INDIA is relatively increase day -by-day.

In the past 1 Year, two solid competitors like Airtel ,Reliance
have entered the market .

In coming 5 years.... We have managed to overtake Japan as

the largest DTH market in Asia.

In the next 3 years (by 2014) we will be able to add another
30 million subscribers .
(which is about the same as the population of Belgium,
Portugal and Greece put-together!)
 DVB-S2 APPLICATIONS
Broadcast Services- digital multi-programme Television (TV) / High
Definition Television (HDTV) broadcasting services to be used for primary
and secondary distribution in Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) and Broadcast
Satellite Service (BSS) bands.
(Including compatibility to MPEG-4)

Digital TV Contribution and Satellite News Gathering (DTVC/DSNG)

Interactive Services- Interactive data services including Internet access

(only the forward broadband channel)

Data content distribution/trunking and other professional applications

(only the forward broadband channel)

SET-TOP BOX

A set-top box (STB) or set-top unit (STU) is a device that

connects to a television and an external source of signal,
turning the signal into content which is then displayed on the
television screen

 HDTV & MPEG4 SYSTEMS

 HD has one or two million pixels per frame, roughly five times that of

SD. Early HDTV broadcasting used analog techniques, but today HDTV
is digitally broadcast using video compression.
High-definition television (or HDTV, or just HD) refers to video
having resolution substantially higher than traditional television systems
(standard-definition TV, or SDTV, or SD).

MPEG-4 is a collection of methods defining compression of

audio and visual (AV) digital data

MPEG-4 absorbs many of the features of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 and

other related standards, adding new features such as (extended) VRML
support for 3D rendering, object-oriented composite files (including
audio, video and VRML objects)
