This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) describes the framing structure, channel coding and modulation (denoted "the System" for the purposes of this ETS) for a digital multi-programme television distribution by cable. The aim of this ETS is to present a harmonized transmission standard for cable and satellite, based on the MPEG-2 System Layer ISO/IEC DIS 13818-1 [1], with the addition of appropriate Forward Error Correction (FEC) technique. This System can be used transparently with the modulation/channel coding system used for digital multi-programme television by satellite, see ETS 300 421 (bibliography).
