Abstract: The invention relates to a method of controlling the
operation of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) with
respect to a SAW filter (6) within a broadcast data receiver
(BDR) (104). Over time, it is found that during normal
operation of the BDR (104), the SAW filter (6) is susceptible
to frequency drift which can affect the operation of the BDR.
In accordance with the invention, temperature readings are
taken at various time intervals from within the BDR (104) to
provide an indication of changes in temperature over time
and, if the temperature does change in the BDR with time
then the operating frequency of the VCO can be adjusted to a
predefined frequency value which is appropriate for the
temperature values measured. By adjusting the operating
frequency of the VCO with changes in temperature, the drift
of the SAW filter (6) can be compensated for, thereby
ensuring the continued operation of the BDR (104) in the
required manner.

Abstract: Disclosed is a stereoscopic/multiview three-dimensional video processing system and its method. In the present invention, stereoscopic/multiview three-dimensional video data having a plurality of images at the same time are coded into a plurality of elementary streams. The plural elementary streams output at the same time are multiplexed according to the user's selected display mode to generate a single elementary stream. After packetization of the single elementary stream continuously generated, information about the stereoscopic/multiview three-dimensional video multiplexing method and the selected display mode information are added to the packet header of the stream. Then the packetized elementary stream is sent to the image reproducer or stored in storage media. The present invention multiplexes the multi-channel elementary streams having the same temporal and spatial information, thereby minimizing the overlapping header information, and performs streaming of data suitable for the user's demand and the user system environments.
