- <title>Hierarchical layers</title>
-
- <para>ISDB-T channels can be coded hierarchically. As opposed to DVB-T in
- ISDB-T hierarchical layers can be decoded simultaneously. For that
- reason a ISDB-T demodulator has 3 viterbi and 3 reed-solomon-decoders.</para>
-
- <para>ISDB-T has 3 hierarchical layers which each can use a part of the
- available segments. The total number of segments over all layers has
- to 13 in ISDB-T.</para>

- <title><constant>DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED</constant></title>
-
- <para>Hierarchical reception in ISDB-T is achieved by enabling or disabling
- layers in the decoding process. Setting all bits of
- <constant>DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED</constant> to '1' forces all layers (if applicable) to be
- demodulated. This is the default.</para>
-
- <para>If the channel is in the partial reception mode
- (<constant>DTV_ISDBT_PARTIAL_RECEPTION</constant> = 1) the central segment can be decoded
- independently of the other 12 segments. In that mode layer A has to
- have a <constant>SEGMENT_COUNT</constant> of 1.</para>
-
- <para>In ISDB-Tsb only layer A is used, it can be 1 or 3 in ISDB-Tsb
- according to <constant>DTV_ISDBT_PARTIAL_RECEPTION</constant>. <constant>SEGMENT_COUNT</constant> must be filled

+ <para>This ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb API extension should reflect all information

+ <para>The details given here about ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb are just enough to
+ basically show the dependencies between the needed parameter values,

+ see the following documents:</para>

+ Television Broadcasting" and</para>
+ <para>ARIB TR-B14 - "Operational Guidelines for Digital Terrestrial
+ Television Broadcasting".</para>
+ <para>In order to read this document one has to have some knowledge the
+ channel structure in ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb. I.e. it has to be known to
+ the reader that an ISDB-T channel consists of 13 segments, that it can
+ have up to 3 layer sharing those segments, and things like that.</para>
