'''Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting''' ('''ISDB'''; [[Japanese language|Japanese]]: {{nihongo2|統合デジタル放送サービス}}, ''Tōgō dejitaru hōsō sābisu'') is a Japanese broadcasting standard for [[digital television]] (DTV) and [[digital radio]].

ISDB supersedes both the [[NTSC-J]] analog television system and the previously used [[Multiple sub-Nyquist sampling encoding|MUSE]] Hi-vision analog HDTV system in Japan. An improved version of ISDB-T ([[ISDB-T International]]) will soon replace the [[NTSC]], [[PAL-M]], and [[PAL#PAL-N_(Argentina,_Paraguay_and_Uruguay)|PAL-N]] broadcast standards in [[South America]] and the [[Philippines]]. [[Digital terrestrial television|Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting]] (DTTB) services using ISDB-T started in Japan in December 2003, and since then, many countries have adopted ISDB over other digital broadcasting standards.

A newer and "advanced" version of the ISDB standard (that will eventually allow up to 8K terrestrial broadcasts and 1080p mobile broadcasts via the [[Versatile Video Coding|VVC]] codec, including [[High-dynamic-range video|HDR]] and [[High frame rate|HFR]]) is currently under development.<ref>https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-R/terrestrial/broadcast/Americas/Documents/Presentations_Panama/ISDB-T.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref><ref>https://www.nhk.or.jp/strl/ibc2019/nhk_ibc2019_flyer.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=NEC Archives|url=https://setexperience.org.br/en/patrocinador/nec-en/|access-date=2021-10-26|website=Set Experience|language=en-US}}</ref>

==Introduction==
[[File:Digital broadcast standards.svg|thumb|500px|right|DTT broadcasting systems. Countries using ISDB are shown in green.]]

ISDB is maintained by the Japanese organization [[ARIB]]. The [[Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting#Standards|standards]] can be obtained for free at the Japanese organization [[DiBEG]] website and at ARIB.

The core standards of ISDB are [[Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting#ISDB-S|ISDB-S]] (satellite television), [[Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting#ISDB-T|ISDB-T]] (terrestrial), [[Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting#ISDB-C|ISDB-C]] (cable) and [[#2.6 GHz Mobile satellite digital audio/video broadcasting|2.6&nbsp;GHz band mobile broadcasting]] which are all based on [[MPEG-2]], [[MPEG-4]], or [[HEVC]] standard for multiplexing with transport stream structure and video and audio coding (MPEG-2, H.264, or HEVC) and are capable of [[Ultra-high-definition television|UHD]], high-definition television ([[High-definition television|HDTV]]) and standard-definition television. [[Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting#ISDB-T|ISDB-T]] and [[Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting#ISDB-Tsb|ISDB-Tsb]] are for mobile reception in TV bands. [[1seg]] is the name of an ISDB-T component that allows viewers to watch TV channels via [[cell phones]], [[laptop computers]], and [[vehicles]].

The concept was named for its similarity to [[Integrated Services Digital Network|ISDN]] as both allow multiple channels of data to be transmitted together (a process called multiplexing). This broadcast standard is also much like another [[digital radio]] system, [[Eureka 147]], which calls each group of stations on a transmitter an [[DAB ensemble|ensemble]]; this is very much like the multi-channel digital TV standard [[DVB-T]]. ISDB-T operates on unused TV channels, an approach that was taken by other countries for TV but never before for radio.

===Transmission===
The various flavors of ISDB differ mainly in the modulations used, due to the requirements of different frequency bands. The 12&nbsp;GHz band ISDB-S uses [[Phase-shift keying|PSK]] modulation, 2.6&nbsp;GHz band digital sound broadcasting uses [[Code division multiplexing|CDM]], and ISDB-T (in [[Very high frequency|VHF]] and/or [[Ultra high frequency|UHF]] band) uses [[Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing|COFDM]] with [[Phase-shift keying|PSK]]/[[Quadrature amplitude modulation|QAM]].

===Interaction===
Besides audio and video transmission, ISDB also defines data connections (Data broadcasting) with the internet as a return channel over several media ([[10/100]] Ethernet, telephone line modem, mobile phone, wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11), etc.) and with different protocols. This component is used, for example, for interactive interfaces like data broadcasting ([[ARIB STD-B24]]) and electronic program guides (EPG).

===Interfaces and Encryption===
The ISDB specification describes a lot of (network) interfaces, but most importantly, the Common Interface for Conditional Access System (CAS). While ISDB has examples of implementing various kinds of CAS systems, in Japan, a CAS system called "B-CAS" is used. ARIB STD-B25 defines the [[Common Scrambling Algorithm]] (CSA) system called [[MULTI2]] required for (de-)scrambling television.

The ISDB CAS system in Japan is operated by a company named ''[[B-CAS]]''; the CAS card is called ''B-CAS card''. The Japanese ISDB signal is always encrypted by the B-CAS system even if it is a free television program. That is why it is commonly called "Pay per view system without charge".{{Citation needed|date=September 2008}} An interface for mobile reception is under consideration.{{Citation needed|date=September 2008}}

ISDB supports RMP (Rights management and protection). Since all digital television (DTV) systems carry digital data content, a [[DVD]] or high-definition (HD) recorder could easily copy content losslessly.
[[Major film studios|US major film studios]] requested copy protection; this was the main reason for RMP being mandated. The content has three modes: "copy once", "copy free" and "copy never". In "copy once" mode, a program can be stored on a hard disk recorder, but cannot be further copied; only moved to another copy-protected media—and this move operation will mark the content "copy one generation", which is mandated to prevent further copying permanently. "Copy never" programs may only be [[Time shifting|timeshifted]] and cannot be permanently stored. In 2006,<ref name=":0" /> the Japanese government is evaluating using the [[Digital Transmission Content Protection]] (DTCP) "Encryption plus Non-Assertion" mechanism to allow making multiple copies of digital content between compliant devices.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://japan.cnet.com/article/20094312/|title=JEITA、地デジのコンテンツ保護策として暗号方式 EPN を提案|date=January 12, 2006|website=CNET Japan}}</ref>

==Receiver==
There are two types of ISDB receiver: [[Television set|Television]] and [[set-top box]]. The aspect ratio of an ISDB-receiving television set is 16:9; televisions fulfilling these specs are called ''Hi-Vision TV''. There are four TV types: [[Cathode-ray tube]] (CRT), [[Plasma display|plasma display panel]] (PDP), [[OLED|organic light-emitting diode]] (OLED) and [[liquid crystal display]] (LCD), with LCD being the most popular ''Hi-Vision TV'' on the Japanese market nowadays.

The LCD share, as measured by [[JEITA]] in November 2004, was about 60%. While PDP sets occupy the high-end market with units that are over 50&nbsp;inches (1270&nbsp;mm), PDP and CRT set shares are about 20% each. CRT sets are considered low end for Hi-Vision. An STB is sometimes referred to as a digital tuner.{{citation needed|date=December 2011}}

Typical middle to high-end ISDB receivers marketed in Japan have several interfaces:

* [[F connector]]s for RF input.
* [[HDMI]] or [[D4 video connector|D4 connector]] for an [[High-definition television|HDTV]] monitor in a [[home cinema]].
* [[TOSLINK|Optical digital audio interface]] for an audio amplifier and speakers for [[Surround sound|5.1 surround audio]] in a home cinema.
* [[FireWire|IEEE 1394]] (aka FireWire) interface for digital data recorders (like [[DVD]] recorders) in a home cinema.
* [[RCA jack|RCA video jack]] provides [[SDTV]] signal that is sampled down from the HDTV signal for analog CRT television sets or [[VCR]]s.
* [[RCA jack|RCA audio jacks]] provide [[stereophonic sound|stereo audio]] for analog CRT television sets or [[VCR]]s.
* [[S-Video|S video]] is for [[VCR]]s or analog CRT television sets.
* [[10/100]] and modular jack telephone line [[Modem#Narrowband|modem]] interfaces are for an internet connection.
* B-CAS card interface to de-scramble.
* [[Infrared#Applications|IR]] interface jack for controlling a VHS or DVD player.

==Services==
A typical Japanese broadcast service consists as follows:
# One HDTV or up to three SDTV services within one channel.
# Provides [[interactive television]] through [[datacasting]].
# Interactive services such as games or shopping, via telephone line or broadband internet.
# Equipped with an [[electronic program guide]].
# Ability to send firmware patches for the TV/tuner over the air.
# During emergencies, the service utilizes [[Emergency Warning Broadcast system]] to quickly inform the public of various threats for the areas at risk.

There are examples providing more than 10 SDTV services with H.264 coding in some countries.

==ISDB-S==

===History===
Japan started digital broadcasting using the DVB-S standard by PerfecTV in October/1996, and DirecTV in December/1997, with communication satellites. Still, DVB-S did not satisfy the requirements of Japanese broadcasters, such as [[NHK]], key commercial broadcasting stations like [[Nippon Television]], [[Tokyo Broadcasting System|TBS]], [[Fuji Television]], [[TV Asahi]], [[TV Tokyo]], and [[WOWOW]] (Movie-only Pay-TV broadcasting). Consequently, [[ARIB]] developed a new broadcast standard called ISDB-S. The requirements were HDTV capability, interactive services, network access and effective frequency utilization, and other technical requirements. The DVB-S standard allows the transmission of a bitstream of roughly 34&nbsp;Mbit/s with a satellite transponder, which means the transponder can send one HDTV channel. Unfortunately, the NHK broadcasting satellite had only four vacant transponders, which led ARIB and NHK to work on ISDB-S: the new standard could transmit at 51&nbsp;Mbit/s with a single transponder, which means that ISDB-S is 1.5 times more efficient than DVB-S and that one transponder can transmit two HDTV channels, along with other independent audio and data. Digital satellite broadcasting (BS digital) was started by NHK and followed commercial broadcasting stations on 1 December 2000. Today, [[SKY PerfecTV!]] (the successor of Skyport TV and Sky D), CS burn, Platone, EP, DirecTV, J Sky B, and PerfecTV!, adopted the ISDB-S system for use on the 110-degree (east longitude) wide-band communication satellite.

===ISDB-S3===
ISDB-S3 is a satellite digital broadcasting specification supporting 4K, 8K, HDR, HFR, and 22.2 audio.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.arib.or.jp/english/std_tr/broadcasting/std-b63.html|title=About obtaining ARIB Standards (STD-B63)｜Association of Radio Industries and Businesses|website=www.arib.or.jp}}</ref>

==ISDB-C==
ISDB-C is a cable digital broadcasting specification. The technical specification J.83/C is developed by [[JCTEA]]. ISDB-C is identical to DVB-C but has a different channel bandwidth of 6&nbsp;MHz (instead of 8&nbsp;MHz) and roll-off factor.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.dvb.org/news/dvb_c2-in-japan |title=News - DVB |access-date=2017-01-14 |archive-date=2017-01-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170116174243/https://www.dvb.org/news/dvb_c2-in-japan |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==ISDB-T==

===History===
HDTV was invented at [[NHK Science & Technology Research Laboratories]] (Japan Broadcasting Corporation's Science & Technical Research Laboratories). The research for HDTV started as early as the 1960s, though a standard was proposed to the ITU-R (CCIR) only in 1973.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://digitalcollections.library.cmu.edu/portal/main.jsp?flag=browse&smd=1&awdid=3|title=ArchivalWare >>Login|website=digitalcollections.library.cmu.edu|access-date=2018-09-14}}{{Dead link|date=August 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

By the 1980s, a high definition television camera, cathode-ray tube, videotape recorder, and editing equipment, among others, had been developed. In 1982 NHK developed MUSE (Multiple sub-Nyquist sampling encoding), the first HDTV video compression and transmission system. [[Multiple sub-Nyquist sampling encoding|MUSE]] used digital video compression, but for transmission [[frequency modulation]] was used after a digital-to-analog converter converted the digital signal.

In 1987, NHK demonstrated MUSE in Washington D.C. as well as NAB. The demonstration made a great impression in the U.S., leading to the development of the [[ATSC Standards|ATSC]] terrestrial DTV system. Europe also developed a DTV system called [[DVB]]. Japan began R&D of a completely digital system in the 1980s that led to ISDB. Japan began terrestrial digital broadcasting, using ISDB-T standard by NHK and commercial broadcasting stations, on 1 December 2003.

* ISDB-T (Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial) in Japan use [[Ultra high frequency|UHF]] 470&nbsp;MHz-710&nbsp;MHz, bandwidth of 240&nbsp;MHz, allocate 40 channels namely channels 13 to 52 (previously used also 710&nbsp;MHz-770&nbsp;MHz, 53 to 62, but this range was re-assigned to cell phones), each channel is 6&nbsp;MHz width (actually 5.572&nbsp;MHz effective bandwidth and 430&nbsp;kHz guard band between channels). These channels are called "physical channel(物理チャンネル)". For other countries, US channel table or European channel table are used.
* For channel tables with 6&nbsp;MHz width, ISDB-T single channel bandwidths 5.572&nbsp;MHz has number of carriers 5,617 with interval of 0.99206&nbsp;kHz. For 7&nbsp;MHz channel, channel bandwidth is 6.50&nbsp;MHz; for 8&nbsp;MHz 7.42&nbsp;MHz.
* ISDB-T allows to accommodate any combination of HDTV (roughly 8&nbsp;Mbit/s in H.264) and SDTV (roughly 2&nbsp;Mbit/s in H.264) within the given bitrate determined by the transmission parameters such as bandwidth, code-rate, guard interval, etc. Typically, among the 13 segments, the center segment is used for [[1seg]] with QPSK modulation and the remaining 12 segments for the HDTV or SDTV payloads for 64QAM modulation. The bitstream of the 12 segments are combined into one transport stream, within which any combination of programs can be carried based on the [[MPEG transport stream|MPEG-2 transport stream]] definition.
* ISDB-T transmits an [[High-definition television|HDTV]] channel and a mobile TV channel '''[[1seg]]''' within one channel. 1seg is a mobile terrestrial digital audio/video broadcasting service in Japan. Although 1seg is designed for mobile usage, reception is sometimes problematic in moving vehicles. Because of reception on high speed vehicle, [[Ultra high frequency|UHF]] transmission is shaded by buildings and hills frequently, but reported well receiving in [[Shinkansen]] as far as run in flat or rural area.
* ISDB-T provides interactive services with data broadcasting. Such as [[Electronic program guide|Electronic Program Guides]]. ISDB-T supports internet access as a [[return channel]] that works to support the data broadcasting. Internet access is also provided on mobile phones.
* ISDB-T provides [[single-frequency network|Single-Frequency Network]] (SFN) and [[on-channel repeater]] technology. SFN makes efficient utilization of the frequency resource (spectrum). For example, the Kanto area (greater Tokyo area including most part of Tokyo prefecture and some part of Chiba, Ibaragi, Tochigi, Saitama and Kanagawa prefecture) are covered with SFN with roughly 10 million population coverage.
* ISDB-T can be received indoors with a simple [[indoor antenna]].
* ISDB-T provides robustness to [[multipath interference]] ("ghosting"), [[Co-channel interference|co-channel analog television interference]], and [[electromagnetic interference]]s that come from motor vehicles and power lines in urban environments.
* ISDB-T is claimed to allow HDTV to be received on moving vehicles at over 100&nbsp;km/h; [[DVB-T]] can only receive [[SDTV]] on moving vehicles, and it is claimed that [[ATSC Standards|ATSC]] can not be received on moving vehicles at all (however, in early 2007 there were reports of successful reception of ATSC on laptops using USB tuners in moving vehicles).

===Adoption===
ISDB-T was adopted for commercial transmissions in Japan in December 2003. It currently comprises a market of about 100 million television sets. ISDB-T had 10 million subscribers by the end of April 2005. Along with the wide use of ISDB-T, the price of receivers is getting low. The price of ISDB-T STB in the lower end of the market is ¥19800 as of 19 April 2006.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/av/docs/20060330/uniden3.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070709074636/http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/av/docs/20060330/uniden3.htm|url-status=dead|title=uniden|archive-date=July 9, 2007}}</ref> By November 2007 only a few older, low-end STB models could be found in the Japanese market (average price U$180), showing a tendency towards replacement by mid to high-end equipment like PVRs and TV sets with inbuilt tuners. In November 2009, a retail chain [[Æon (company)|AEON]] introduced STB in 40 USD,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://av.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/20090904_313051.html|title=イオン、4,980円のピクセラ製地デジチューナを発売|date=4 September 2009}}</ref> followed by variety of low-cost tuners. The Dibeg web page confirms this tendency by showing low significance of the digital tuner STB market in Japan.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.dibeg.org/news/news-5/news-e5.htm |title=News-e5 |access-date=2007-11-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071114023735/http://www.dibeg.org/news/news-5/news-e5.htm#dn068e |archive-date=2007-11-14 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

[[Brazil]], which used an [[broadcast television system|analogue TV system]] (PAL-M) that slightly differed from any other countries, has chosen ISDB-T as a base for its [[digital television|DTV]] format, calling it [[ISDB-Tb]] or ''internally'' [[SBTVD]] (''Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão Digital-Terrestre''). The Japanese DiBEG group incorporated the advancements made by Brazil -[[H.264|MPEG4]] video codec instead of ISDB-T's MPEG2 and a powerful interaction middleware called [[Ginga (SBTVD Middleware)|Ginga]]- and has renamed the standard to "[[ISDB-T International]]".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dibeg.org/techp/feature/features_of_isdb-t.htm |title=Features of ISDB-T |access-date=2009-08-30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090809234123/http://www.dibeg.org/techp/feature/features_of_isdb-t.htm |archive-date=2009-08-09 }}</ref> Other than Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Chile and Ecuador<ref name="blog.subtel.cl">{{cite web |url=http://blog.subtel.cl/wp/?p=105 |title=Archived copy |access-date=2009-09-14 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090922192948/http://blog.subtel.cl/wp/?p=105 |archive-date=2009-09-22 }}</ref> which have selected ISDB-Tb, there are other South American countries, mainly from [[Mercosur]], such as Venezuela,<ref>http://www.telesintese.ig.com.br/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=13284{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> that chose ISDB-Tb, which providing economies of scale and common market benefits from the regional South American manufacturing instead of importing ready-made STBs as is the case with the other standards. Also, it has been confirmed with extensive tests realized by Brazilian Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters (ABERT), Brazilian Television Engineering Society (SET) and [[Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie]] the insufficient quality for indoor reception presented by ATSC and, between DVB-T and ISDB-T, the latter presented superior performance in indoor reception and flexibility to access digital services and TV programs through non-mobile, mobile or portable receivers with impressive quality.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.set.com.br/artigos/nab.pps |title=Archived copy |access-date=2011-09-28 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928163814/http://www.set.com.br/artigos/nab.pps |archive-date=2011-09-28 }}</ref>

The ABERT–SET group in Brazil did system comparison tests of DTV under the supervision of the [[CPqD]] foundation. The comparison tests were done under the direction of a work group of SET and [[ABERT]]. The ABERT/SET group selected ISDB-T as the best choice in digital broadcasting modulation systems among ATSC, DVB-T and ISDB-T.{{citation needed|date=August 2012}} Another study found that ISDB-T and DVB-T performed similarly, and that both were outperformed by [[DVB-T2]].<ref>Julian Clover [http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2010/11/02/dvb-t-far-superior-to-isdb-dvb-t2-beats-them-both/ ''DVB-T far superior to ISDB, DVB-T2 beats them both''], in ''broadbandtvnews'' November 2, 2010</ref>

ISDB-T was singled out as the most flexible of all for meeting the needs of mobility and portability. It is most efficient for mobile and portable reception. On June 29, 2006, Brazil announced ISDB-T-based SBTVD as the chosen standard for digital TV transmissions, to be fully implemented by 2016. By November 2007 (one month prior DTTV launch), a few suppliers started to announce zapper STBs of the new Nippon-Brazilian SBTVD-T standard, at that time without interactivity.

As in 2019, the implementation rollout in Brazil proceeded successfully, with terrestrial analog services (PAL-M) phased out in most of the country (for some less populated regions, analog signal shutdown was postponed to 2023).

===Technical specification===
''' Segment structure '''

ARIB has developed a segment structure called [[Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing#BST-OFDM used in ISDB|BST-OFDM]] (see figure).
ISDB-T divides the frequency band of one channel into thirteen segments. The broadcaster can select which combination of segments to use; this choice of segment structure allows for service flexibility. For example, ISDB-T can transmit both [[LDTV]] and HDTV using one TV channel or change to 3 SDTV, a switch that can be performed at any time. ISDB-T can also change the modulation scheme at the same time.

===ISDB-Tsb===
ISDB-Tsb is the '''t'''errestrial digital '''s'''ound '''b'''roadcasting specification. The technical specification is the same as ISDB-T. ISDB-Tsb supports the [[COFDM|coded transmission of OFDM signals]].

===ISDB-Tmm===
ISDB-Tmm ('''T'''errestrial '''m'''obile '''m'''ulti-media) utilised suitable number of segments by station with video coding MPEG-4 AVC/H.264. With multiple channels, ISDB-Tmm served dedicated channels such as sport, movie, music channels and others with [[CD]] quality sound, allowing for better broadcast quality as compared to [[1seg]]. This service used the [[VHF]] band, 207.5–222&nbsp;MHz which began to be utilised after Japan's [[Digital television transition|switchover to digital television]] in July 2011.
