The actual parameters are specific to each particular digital +TV standards, and may change as the digital TV specs evolves. + +In the past (up to DVB API version 3 - DVBv3), the strategy used was to have a +union with the parameters needed to tune for DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T and +ATSC delivery systems grouped there. The problem is that, as the second +generation standards appeared, the size of such union was not big +enough to group the structs that would be required for those new +standards. Also, extending it would break userspace. + +So, the legacy union/struct based approach was deprecated, in favor +of a properties set approach.

In this set of channels every +channel can be received independently. The number of connected ISDB-Tsb +segment can vary, e.g. depending on the frequency spectrum bandwidth +available. + +Example: Assume 8 ISDB-Tsb connected segments are broadcasted. The +broadcaster has several possibilities to put those channels in the air: +Assuming a normal 13-segment ISDB-T spectrum he can align the 8 segments +from position 1-8 to 5-13 or anything in between. + +The underlying layer of segments are subchannels: each segment is +consisting of several subchannels with a predefined IDs. A sub-channel +is used to help the demodulator to synchronize on the channel. + +An ISDB-T channel is always centered over all sub-channels. As for the +example above, in ISDB-Tsb it is no longer as simple as that. + +``The DTV_ISDBT_SB_SUBCHANNEL_ID`` parameter is used to give the +sub-channel ID of the segment to be demodulated. + +Possible values: 0 .. 41, -1 (AUTO) + + +.. _DTV-ISDBT-SB-SEGMENT-IDX: + +DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_IDX +======================== + +Used only on ISDB. + +This field only applies if ``DTV_ISDBT_SOUND_BROADCASTING`` is '1'. + +``DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_IDX`` gives the index of the segment to be +demodulated for an ISDB-Tsb channel where several of them are +transmitted in the connected manner. + +Possible values: 0 .. ``DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_COUNT`` - 1 + +Note: This value cannot be determined by an automatic channel search. + + +.. _DTV-ISDBT-SB-SEGMENT-COUNT: + +DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_COUNT +========================== + +Used only on ISDB. + +This field only applies if ``DTV_ISDBT_SOUND_BROADCASTING`` is '1'. + +``DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_COUNT`` gives the total count of connected +ISDB-Tsb channels. + +Possible values: 1 .. 13 + +Note: This value cannot be determined by an automatic channel search. + + +.. _isdb-hierq-layers: + +DTV-ISDBT-LAYER[A-C] parameters +=============================== + +Used only on ISDB. + +ISDB-T channels can be coded hierarchically.

In case + of a satellite frontend, this includes a facility for satellite + equipment control (SEC), which allows control of LNB polarization, + multi feed switches or dish rotors. + +Conditional Access (CA) hardware like CI adapters and smartcard slots + The complete TS is passed through the CA hardware. Programs to which + the user has access (controlled by the smart card) are decoded in + real time and re-inserted into the TS. + + .. note:: + + Not every digital TV hardware provides conditional access hardware. + +Demultiplexer which filters the incoming Digital TV MPEG-TS stream + The demultiplexer splits the TS into its components like audio and + video streams. Besides usually several of such audio and video + streams it also contains data streams with information about the + programs offered in this or other streams of the same provider. + +Audio and video decoder + The main targets of the demultiplexer are audio and video + decoders. After decoding, they pass on the uncompressed audio and + video to the computer screen or to a TV set. + + .. note:: + + Modern hardware usually doesn't have a separate decoder hardware, as + such functionality can be provided by the main CPU, by the graphics + adapter of the system or by a signal processing hardware embedded on + a Systems on a Chip (SoC) integrated circuit. + + It may also not be needed for certain usages (e.g. for data-only + uses like “internet over satellite”). + +:ref:`stb_components` shows a crude schematic of the control and data +flow between those components. + + + +.. _dvb_devices: + +Linux Digital TV Devices +======================== + +The Linux Digital TV API lets you control these hardware components through +currently six Unix-style character devices for video, audio, frontend, +demux, CA and IP-over-DVB networking. The video and audio devices +control the MPEG2 decoder hardware, the frontend device the tuner and +the Digital TV demodulator. The demux device gives you control over the PES +and section filters of the hardware. If the hardware does not support +filtering these filters can be implemented in software. Finally, the CA +device controls all the conditional access capabilities of the hardware. +It can depend on the individual security requirements of the platform, +if and how many of the CA functions are made available to the +application through this device. + +All devices can be found in the ``/dev`` tree under ``/dev/dvb``. The +individual devices are called: + +- ``/dev/dvb/adapterN/audioM``, + +- ``/dev/dvb/adapterN/videoM``, + +- ``/dev/dvb/adapterN/frontendM``, + +- ``/dev/dvb/adapterN/netM``, + +- ``/dev/dvb/adapterN/demuxM``, + +- ``/dev/dvb/adapterN/dvrM``, + +- ``/dev/dvb/adapterN/caM``, + +where ``N`` enumerates the Digital TV cards in a system starting from 0, and +``M`` enumerates the devices of each type within each adapter, starting +from 0, too. We will omit the “``/dev/dvb/adapterN/``\ ” in the further +discussion of these devices. + +More details about the data structures and function calls of all the +devices are described in the following chapters. + + +.. _include_files: + +API include files +================= + +For each of the Digital TV devices a corresponding include file exists. The +Digital TV API include files should be included in application sources with a +partial path like: + + +.. code-block:: c + + #include <linux/dvb/ca.h> + + #include <linux/dvb/dmx.h> + + #include <linux/dvb/frontend.h> + + #include <linux/dvb/net.h> + + +To enable applications to support different API version, an additional +include file ``linux/dvb/version.h`` exists, which defines the constant +``DVB_API_VERSION``.
