Since 1995 the JTC became a tripartite body by including in theMemorandum of Understanding also CENELEC, which is responsible for the standardization of radio andtelevision receivers. The EBU is a professional association of broadcasting organizations whose workincludes the co-ordination of its members' activities in the technical, legal, programme-making andprogramme-exchange domains.

Its aim is to establish the framework for the introduction of MPEG-2 based digital televisionservices. Now comprising over 200 organizations from more than 25 countries around the world, DVB fosters market-led systems, which meet the real needs, and economic circumstances, of the consumer electronics and the broadcastindustry.National transposition datesDate of adoption of this EN:17 April 1998Date of latest announcement of this EN (doa):31 July 1998Date of latest publication of new National Standardor endorsement of this EN (dop/e):31 January 1999Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow):31 January 1999SIST EN 300 429 V1.2.1:2003



ETSIEN 300 429 V1.2.1 (1998-04)51ScopeThe present document only adds 128 and 256 QAM to the specification.The present document describes the framing structure, channel coding and modulation (denoted "the System" for thepurposes of the present document) for a digital multi-programme television distribution by cable. The aim of the presentdocument is to present a harmonized transmission standard for cable and satellite, based on the MPEG-2 System LayerISO/IEC 13818-1 [1], with the addition of appropriate Forward Error Correction (FEC) technique.This System can be used transparently with the modulation/channel coding system used for digital multi-programmetelevision by satellite (see EN 300 421 [3]). The System is based on Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM).It allows for 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256-QAM constellations.The System FEC is designed to improve Bit Error Ratio (BER) from 10-4 to a range, 10-10 to 10-11, ensuring "QuasiError Free" (QEF) operation with approximately one uncorrected error event per transmission hour.2ReferencesReferences may be made to:a)specific versions of publications (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.), inwhich case, subsequent revisions to the referenced document do not apply; orb)all versions up to and including the identified version (identified by "up to and including" before the versionidentity); orc)all versions subsequent to and including the identified version (identified by "onwards" following the versionidentity); ord)publications without mention of a specific version, in which case the latest version applies.A non-specific reference to an ETS shall also be taken to refer to later versions published as an EN with the samenumber.[1]ISO/IEC 13818-1: "Coding of moving pictures and associated audio".[2]IEEE Trans.
