Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB); Frame structure channel coding and modulation for a second generation digital transmission system for cable systems (DVB-C2)

Scope

The present document describes a second generation baseline transmission system for digital television broadcasting via
Hybrid Fibre Coax (HFC) cable networks and Master Antenna Television (MATV) installations. It specifies the channel
coding, modulation and lower layer signalling protocol system intended for the provision of digital television services
and generic data streams.
The scope is as follows:
• it gives a general description of the Baseline System for digital cable TV;
• it specifies the digital signal processing in order to establish compatibility between pieces of equipment
developed by different manufacturers. This is achieved by describing in detail the signal processing at the
transmitting side, while the processing at the receiving side is left open to individual implementations.
However, for the purpose of securing interoperability it is necessary in this text to refer to certain
implementation aspects of the receiving end.
