This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/957,714, filed on Aug. 24, 2007, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/974,084, filed on Sep. 21, 2007, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/977,379, filed on Oct. 4, 2007, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/044,504 filed on Apr. 13, 2008, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/076,683, filed on Jun. 29, 2008, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/076,686, filed on Jun. 29, 2008 and Korean Patent Application No. 10-2008-0082928, filed on Aug. 25, 2008, which are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
The CA indicator field is a 1-bit field indicating whether or not a conditional access (CA) is applied to the current virtual channel.
FIG. 17 illustrates an exemplary bit stream syntax structure of a service map table (hereinafter referred to as “SMT”) section according to the present invention. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the SMT section is configured in an MPEG-2 private section format. However, this will not limit the scope and spirit of the present invention. The SMT section according to the embodiment of the present invention includes description information for each virtual channel within a single MH ensemble. And, additional information may further be included in each descriptor area. In the description of the present invention, the section will be referred to as a “transmission unit” for simplicity. More specifically, a single SMT is divided into a plurality of SMT transmission units (e.g., SMT sections) so as to be transmitted in section units.
A virtual_channel_target_IP_address_flag field is a 1-bit Boolean flag, which indicates, when set, that the corresponding IP stream component is delivered through IP datagrams with target IP addresses different from the virtual_channel_target_IP_address. Therefore, when the flag is set, the receiving system (or receiver) uses the component_target_IP_address as the target_IP_address in order to access the corresponding IP stream component. Accordingly, the receiving system (or receiver) may ignore the virtual_channel_target IP address field included in the num_channels loop.
The time_zone offset field is a 31-bit unsigned integer quantity. More specifically, the time_zone_offset field represents, in GPS seconds, the time offset of the time zone in which the broadcast station is located, when compared to the UTC time.
