Digital Broadcaster User Manual v. 3.4 rev. 3421 17 July 24, 2008
• Resolution: 720 X 480 NTSC
• Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second
• Aspect ratio: 4:3
• Chroma format: 4:2:0
• Structure: Closed GOP (Group of Pictures) with one I-frame and four P-frames every
15 frames, using the pattern IBBPBBPBBPBBPBB
• Pack size of 2048 bytes
• Field Encoding Order: bottom field first (BFF)
• Interlaced video (deinterlaced video for web media)
• Audio bit rate of 192 kbps, 224 kbps, 256 kbps, 384 kbps
• Audio sampling rate of 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz
• Audio sampling rate of 1152
• Audio mode: stereo
• Audio codec: MPEG-1 Layer II, Stereo AC-3, AC-3 5.1, or Linear PCM (LPCM)
depending on your server output type. See the chart on page 16.
• Program stream files should terminate with an end code (00 00 01 b9).
• Maximum program mux rate of 10.08 Mbps for standard-definition interlaced video.
The mux rate is the sum of the video bitrate, the audio bitrate, and the overhead
required by your encoder. You can use the formula M = V + A + O(V + A).
For example, if your encoder requires 10% overhead, you could encode at the
maximum audio bitrate of 384 kbps and be able to encode at a video bitrate up to
8.779 Mbps. (10.08 Mbps = V + 384 kbps + .10[V + 384 kbps] Solve for V to get
8.7796363 Mbps.)
If your encoder requires 25% overhead and you encode at the maximum audio bitrate
of 384 kbps, you would be able to encode at a video bitrate up to 7.68 Mbps. (10.08
Mbps = V + 384 kbps + .25[V + 384 kbps] Solve for V to get 7.68 Mbps.)
• Recommended bit rates for various types of video content are as follows:
o 4 Mbps for good quality video with low motion
o 6 Mbps for good quality with average motion
o 8 Mbps for good quality with high motion and
o 9 Mbps for high quality with high motion content.
• Video sequence header before every GOP to facilitate random access (stop & start
anywhere in file) needed for virtual trims and continuity resume. Files from a DVD
will have the video sequence header (vsh).
• Transport streams should include Random Access Indicators for random access
support.
