416 <para>Example: Assume 8 ISDB-Tsb connected segments are broadcasted. The
417 broadcaster has several possibilities to put those channels in the

713 <title>ISDB-T delivery system</title>
714 <para>This ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb API extension should reflect all information
715 needed to tune any ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb hardware. Of course it is possible
716 that some very sophisticated devices won't need certain parameters to
718 <para>The information given here should help application writers to know how
719 to handle ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb hardware using the Linux DVB-API.</para>
720 <para>The details given here about ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb are just enough to
721 basically show the dependencies between the needed parameter values,
722 but surely some information is left out. For more detailed information
723 see the following documents:</para>
724 <para>ARIB STD-B31 - "Transmission System for Digital Terrestrial
725 Television Broadcasting" and</para>
726 <para>ARIB TR-B14 - "Operational Guidelines for Digital Terrestrial
727 Television Broadcasting".</para>
728 <para>In order to understand the ISDB specific parameters,
729 one has to have some knowledge the channel structure in
730 ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb. I.e. it has to be known to
731 the reader that an ISDB-T channel consists of 13 segments,
732 that it can have up to 3 layer sharing those segments,
733 and things like that.</para>
