  3. ******************************
  4. Digital TV property parameters
  5. ******************************
  6. There are several different Digital TV parameters that can be used by
  7. :ref:`FE_SET_PROPERTY and FE_GET_PROPERTY ioctls<FE_GET_PROPERTY>`.
  8. This section describes each of them. Please notice, however, that only
  9. a subset of them are needed to setup a frontend.
  10. .. _DTV-UNDEFINED:
  11. DTV_UNDEFINED
  12. =============
  13. Used internally. A GET/SET operation for it won't change or return
  14. anything.
  15. .. _DTV-TUNE:
  16. DTV_TUNE
  17. ========
  18. Interpret the cache of data, build either a traditional frontend
  19. tunerequest so we can pass validation in the ``FE_SET_FRONTEND`` ioctl.
  20. .. _DTV-CLEAR:
  21. DTV_CLEAR
  22. =========
  23. Reset a cache of data specific to the frontend here. This does not
  24. effect hardware.
  25. .. _DTV-FREQUENCY:
  26. DTV_FREQUENCY
  27. =============
  28. Frequency of the digital TV transponder/channel.
  29. .. note::
  30. #. For satellite delivery systems, the frequency is in kHz.
  31. #. For cable and terrestrial delivery systems, the frequency is in
  32. Hz.
  33. #. On most delivery systems, the frequency is the center frequency
  34. of the transponder/channel. The exception is for ISDB-T, where
  35. the main carrier has a 1/7 offset from the center.
  36. #. For ISDB-T, the channels are usually transmitted with an offset of
  37. about 143kHz. E.g. a valid frequency could be 474,143 kHz. The
  38. stepping is bound to the bandwidth of the channel which is
  39. typically 6MHz.
  40. #. In ISDB-Tsb, the channel consists of only one or three segments the
  41. frequency step is 429kHz, 3*429 respectively.
  42. .. _DTV-MODULATION:
  43. DTV_MODULATION
  44. ==============
  45. Specifies the frontend modulation type for delivery systems that
  46. supports more multiple modulations.
  47. The modulation can be one of the types defined by enum :c:type:`fe_modulation`.
  48. Most of the digital TV standards offers more than one possible
  49. modulation type.
  50. The table below presents a summary of the types of modulation types
  51. supported by each delivery system, as currently defined by specs.
  52. ======================= =======================================================
  53. Standard Modulation types
  54. ======================= =======================================================
  55. ATSC (version 1) 8-VSB and 16-VSB.
  56. DMTB 4-QAM, 16-QAM, 32-QAM, 64-QAM and 4-QAM-NR.
  57. DVB-C Annex A/C 16-QAM, 32-QAM, 64-QAM and 256-QAM.
  58. DVB-C Annex B 64-QAM.
  59. DVB-T QPSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM.
  60. DVB-T2 QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM and 256-QAM.
  61. DVB-S No need to set. It supports only QPSK.
  62. DVB-S2 QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-APSK and 32-APSK.
  63. ISDB-T QPSK, DQPSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM.
  64. ISDB-S 8-PSK, QPSK and BPSK.
  65. ======================= =======================================================
  66. .. note::
  67. Please notice that some of the above modulation types may not be
  68. defined currently at the Kernel. The reason is simple: no driver
  69. needed such definition yet.
  70. .. _DTV-BANDWIDTH-HZ:
  71. DTV_BANDWIDTH_HZ
  72. ================
  73. Bandwidth for the channel, in HZ.
  74. Should be set only for terrestrial delivery systems.
  75. Possible values: ``1712000``, ``5000000``, ``6000000``, ``7000000``,
  76. ``8000000``, ``10000000``.
  77. ======================= =======================================================
  78. Terrestrial Standard Possible values for bandwidth
  79. ======================= =======================================================
  80. ATSC (version 1) No need to set. It is always 6MHz.
  81. DMTB No need to set. It is always 8MHz.
  82. DVB-T 6MHz, 7MHz and 8MHz.
  83. DVB-T2 1.172 MHz, 5MHz, 6MHz, 7MHz, 8MHz and 10MHz
  84. ISDB-T 5MHz, 6MHz, 7MHz and 8MHz, although most places
  85. use 6MHz.
  86. ======================= =======================================================
  87. .. note::
  88. #. For ISDB-Tsb, the bandwidth can vary depending on the number of
  89. connected segments.
  90. It can be easily derived from other parameters
  91. (DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_IDX, DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_COUNT).
  92. #. On Satellite and Cable delivery systems, the bandwidth depends on
  93. the symbol rate. So, the Kernel will silently ignore any setting
  94. :ref:`DTV-BANDWIDTH-HZ`. I will however fill it back with a
  95. bandwidth estimation.
  96. Such bandwidth estimation takes into account the symbol rate set with
  97. :ref:`DTV-SYMBOL-RATE`, and the rolloff factor, with is fixed for
  98. DVB-C and DVB-S.
  99. For DVB-S2, the rolloff should also be set via :ref:`DTV-ROLLOFF`.
  100. .. _DTV-INVERSION:
  101. DTV_INVERSION
  102. =============
  103. Specifies if the frontend should do spectral inversion or not.

  118. The acceptable values are defined by :c:type:`fe_code_rate`.
  119. .. _DTV-VOLTAGE:
  120. DTV_VOLTAGE
  121. ===========
  122. Used on satellite delivery systems.
  123. The voltage is usually used with non-DiSEqC capable LNBs to switch the
  124. polarzation (horizontal/vertical). When using DiSEqC epuipment this
  125. voltage has to be switched consistently to the DiSEqC commands as
  126. described in the DiSEqC spec.
  127. The acceptable values are defined by :c:type:`fe_sec_voltage`.
  128. .. _DTV-TONE:
  129. DTV_TONE

  167. If '1' ``DTV_ISDBT_LAYERA_*`` values are assigned to the center segment
  168. and ``DTV_ISDBT_LAYERA_SEGMENT_COUNT`` has to be '1'.
  169. If in addition ``DTV_ISDBT_SOUND_BROADCASTING`` is '1'
  170. ``DTV_ISDBT_PARTIAL_RECEPTION`` represents whether this ISDB-Tsb channel

  172. Possible values: 0, 1, -1 (AUTO)
  173. .. _DTV-ISDBT-SOUND-BROADCASTING:
  174. DTV_ISDBT_SOUND_BROADCASTING
  175. ============================
  176. Used only on ISDB.
  177. This field represents whether the other DTV_ISDBT_*-parameters are
  178. referring to an ISDB-T and an ISDB-Tsb channel. (See also
  179. ``DTV_ISDBT_PARTIAL_RECEPTION``).
  180. Possible values: 0, 1, -1 (AUTO)
  181. .. _DTV-ISDBT-SB-SUBCHANNEL-ID:
  182. DTV_ISDBT_SB_SUBCHANNEL_ID
  183. ==========================
  184. Used only on ISDB.
  185. This field only applies if ``DTV_ISDBT_SOUND_BROADCASTING`` is '1'.
  186. (Note of the author: This might not be the correct description of the
  187. ``SUBCHANNEL-ID`` in all details, but it is my understanding of the
  188. technical background needed to program a device)
  189. An ISDB-Tsb channel (1 or 3 segments) can be broadcasted alone or in a
  190. set of connected ISDB-Tsb channels. In this set of channels every
  191. channel can be received independently. The number of connected ISDB-Tsb
  192. segment can vary, e.g. depending on the frequency spectrum bandwidth
  193. available.
  194. Example: Assume 8 ISDB-Tsb connected segments are broadcasted. The
  195. broadcaster has several possibilities to put those channels in the air:
  196. Assuming a normal 13-segment ISDB-T spectrum he can align the 8 segments
  197. from position 1-8 to 5-13 or anything in between.
  198. The underlying layer of segments are subchannels: each segment is
  199. consisting of several subchannels with a predefined IDs. A sub-channel
  200. is used to help the demodulator to synchronize on the channel.
  201. An ISDB-T channel is always centered over all sub-channels. As for the
  202. example above, in ISDB-Tsb it is no longer as simple as that.
  203. ``The DTV_ISDBT_SB_SUBCHANNEL_ID`` parameter is used to give the
  204. sub-channel ID of the segment to be demodulated.
  205. Possible values: 0 .. 41, -1 (AUTO)
  206. .. _DTV-ISDBT-SB-SEGMENT-IDX:
  207. DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_IDX
  208. ========================
  209. Used only on ISDB.
  210. This field only applies if ``DTV_ISDBT_SOUND_BROADCASTING`` is '1'.
  211. ``DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_IDX`` gives the index of the segment to be
  212. demodulated for an ISDB-Tsb channel where several of them are
  213. transmitted in the connected manner.
  214. Possible values: 0 .. ``DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_COUNT`` - 1
  215. Note: This value cannot be determined by an automatic channel search.
  216. .. _DTV-ISDBT-SB-SEGMENT-COUNT:
  217. DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_COUNT
  218. ==========================
  219. Used only on ISDB.
  220. This field only applies if ``DTV_ISDBT_SOUND_BROADCASTING`` is '1'.
  221. ``DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_COUNT`` gives the total count of connected
  222. ISDB-Tsb channels.
  223. Possible values: 1 .. 13
  224. Note: This value cannot be determined by an automatic channel search.
  225. .. _isdb-hierq-layers:
  226. DTV-ISDBT-LAYER[A-C] parameters
  227. ===============================
  228. Used only on ISDB.
  229. ISDB-T channels can be coded hierarchically. As opposed to DVB-T in
  230. ISDB-T hierarchical layers can be decoded simultaneously. For that
  231. reason a ISDB-T demodulator has 3 Viterbi and 3 Reed-Solomon decoders.
  232. ISDB-T has 3 hierarchical layers which each can use a part of the
  233. available segments. The total number of segments over all layers has to
  234. 13 in ISDB-T.
  235. There are 3 parameter sets, for Layers A, B and C.
  236. .. _DTV-ISDBT-LAYER-ENABLED:
  237. DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED
  238. -----------------------
  239. Used only on ISDB.
  240. Hierarchical reception in ISDB-T is achieved by enabling or disabling
  241. layers in the decoding process. Setting all bits of
  242. ``DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED`` to '1' forces all layers (if applicable) to
  243. be demodulated. This is the default.
  244. If the channel is in the partial reception mode
  245. (``DTV_ISDBT_PARTIAL_RECEPTION`` = 1) the central segment can be decoded
  246. independently of the other 12 segments. In that mode layer A has to have
  247. a ``SEGMENT_COUNT`` of 1.
  248. In ISDB-Tsb only layer A is used, it can be 1 or 3 in ISDB-Tsb according
  249. to ``DTV_ISDBT_PARTIAL_RECEPTION``. ``SEGMENT_COUNT`` must be filled
  250. accordingly.
  251. Only the values of the first 3 bits are used. Other bits will be silently ignored:
  252. ``DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED`` bit 0: layer A enabled
  253. ``DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED`` bit 1: layer B enabled
  254. ``DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED`` bit 2: layer C enabled
  255. ``DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED`` bits 3-31: unused
  256. .. _DTV-ISDBT-LAYER-FEC:
  257. DTV_ISDBT_LAYER[A-C]_FEC
  258. ------------------------
  259. Used only on ISDB.
  260. The Forward Error Correction mechanism used by a given ISDB Layer, as
  261. defined by :c:type:`fe_code_rate`.
  262. Possible values are: ``FEC_AUTO``, ``FEC_1_2``, ``FEC_2_3``, ``FEC_3_4``,
  263. ``FEC_5_6``, ``FEC_7_8``
  264. .. _DTV-ISDBT-LAYER-MODULATION:
  265. DTV_ISDBT_LAYER[A-C]_MODULATION
  266. -------------------------------
  267. Used only on ISDB.
  268. The modulation used by a given ISDB Layer, as defined by
  269. :c:type:`fe_modulation`.

  519. DVB-S2, DVB-T2 and ISDB-S support the transmission of several streams on
  520. a single transport stream. This property enables the digital TV driver to
  521. handle substream filtering, when supported by the hardware. By default,
  522. substream filtering is disabled.
  523. For DVB-S2 and DVB-T2, the valid substream id range is from 0 to 255.
  524. For ISDB, the valid substream id range is from 1 to 65535.

  534. A Multi standard frontend needs to advertise the delivery systems
  535. provided. Applications need to enumerate the provided delivery systems,
  536. before using any other operation with the frontend. Prior to it's
  537. introduction, FE_GET_INFO was used to determine a frontend type. A
  538. frontend which provides more than a single delivery system,
  539. FE_GET_INFO doesn't help much. Applications which intends to use a
  540. multistandard frontend must enumerate the delivery systems associated
  541. with it, rather than trying to use FE_GET_INFO. In the case of a
  542. legacy frontend, the result is just the same as with FE_GET_INFO, but
  543. in a more structured format

  561. .. _DTV-SCRAMBLING-SEQUENCE-INDEX:
  562. DTV_SCRAMBLING_SEQUENCE_INDEX
  563. =============================
  564. Used on DVB-S2.
  565. This 18 bit field, when present, carries the index of the DVB-S2 physical
  566. layer scrambling sequence as defined in clause 5.5.4 of EN 302 307.
  567. There is no explicit signalling method to convey scrambling sequence index
  568. to the receiver. If S2 satellite delivery system descriptor is available
  569. it can be used to read the scrambling sequence index (EN 300 468 table 41).
  570. By default, gold scrambling sequence index 0 is used.
  571. The valid scrambling sequence index range is from 0 to 262142.
