Digital TV Frontend API
|
|
#######################
|
|
|
|
The Digital TV frontend API was designed to support three groups of delivery
|
|
systems: Terrestrial, cable and Satellite. Currently, the following
|
|
delivery systems are supported:
|
|
|
|
- Terrestrial systems: DVB-T, DVB-T2, ATSC, ATSC M/H, ISDB-T, DVB-H,
|
|
DTMB, CMMB
|
|
|
|
- Cable systems: DVB-C Annex A/C, ClearQAM (DVB-C Annex B)
|
|
|
|
- Satellite systems: DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB Turbo, ISDB-S, DSS
|
|
|
|
The Digital TV frontend controls several sub-devices including:
|
|
|
|
- Tuner
|
|
|
|
- Digital TV demodulator
|
|
|
|
- Low noise amplifier (LNA)
|
|
|
|
- Satellite Equipment Control (SEC) [#f1]_.
|
|
|
|
The frontend can be accessed through ``/dev/dvb/adapter?/frontend?``.
|
|
Data types and ioctl definitions can be accessed by including
|
|
``linux/dvb/frontend.h`` in your application.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Transmission via the internet (DVB-IP) and MMT (MPEG Media Transport)
|
|
is not yet handled by this API but a future extension is possible.
|

|
|
|
|
On Satellite systems, the API support for the Satellite Equipment
|
|
Control (SEC) allows to power control and to send/receive signals to
|
|
control the antenna subsystem, selecting the polarization and choosing
|
|
the Intermediate Frequency IF) of the Low Noise Block Converter Feed
|
|
Horn (LNBf). It supports the DiSEqC and V-SEC protocols. The DiSEqC
|
|
(digital SEC) specification is available at
|
|
`Eutelsat <http://www.eutelsat.com/satellites/4_5_5.html>`__.
