What is D2X? Introduced NAB 2024 this week Las Vegas. https://lnkd.in/eKMeePJa D2X standards recognize the essential role software plays in defining the Network, disaggregated RAN, UE, and service applications (APPs). Figure 6-1 shows the D2X service reception model, which facilitates market driven APP development and innovation using D2X standards. The horizontal dashed line shows the division of model between what is defined in the D2X standard and what is defined in the market. Figure 6-1 is shown from receiver UE perspective. 1)     The D2X Receiver / UE 2)     UE RF and Baseband Signal Processing Hardware (SDR) D2X (L1-L2) 3)     D2X (DLP) Interface Between HW (SDR) /Software on UE 4)     UE Software (L2-L7) processing for a Service Category (APP_ID) 5)     DST Specific Signaling and D2X Header Extension Signaling for (APP_ID) The L1/L2 layers shown are processed by Hardware/ SDR (2) on UE to acquire D2X signal and demodulate, FEC decode, time de-interleave, etc. and pass DLP L2 streams over DLP Interface (3) from hardware/SDR to software (4) on UE. The APP_ID for a specific Service Category uses extended (5) DST and D2X Header Extension for specific L2 signaling to support APP functionality. Example (10) Use Cases mapped to Service Categories and APPs Developed: ·        Emergency Alerts ·        Entertainment ·        Education ·        Mobile Television ·        Radio, Podcasts ·        File Delivery, Firmware Updates ·        Automotive ·        Smart City ·        5G Convergence ·        5G Convergence First Responders Each use case envisioned in market and developed is virtually mapped to a Service Category and can have a maximum 256 APPs developed and registered D2X network (APP_ID). These use cases are for D2X Multicast Broadcast that may be combined with 5G NR for QoS. The last service category 5G Convergence First Responders is seen as synergistic. Since, D2X and 5G NR (MBS) standards are diverse and optimized with different strengths and topologies. They can be used together synergistically for innovative use of the spectrum in times of emergency. The 5G convergence first responder use case is excellent for 5G NR (MBS) based on unicast framework with low latency and a single cell topology (strength) for first responders group communications. When complemented by D2X with a larger service area topology (strength). That multicast common data video in wider service area for first responders either at or in route to emergency scene. This D2X and 5G NR convergence is synergistic and can help save lives.  Note: for private APP development by government agencies, public safety service, homeland security, etc. These services are usually encrypted in addition virtual sub-frame carrying private service category is not discoverable by public.

https://lnkd.in/eKMeePJa D2X Multicast Broadcast Disaggregation System Architecture supports an SFN underlay RU Category (A) and SFN Wide Area RU Category (B), From perspective RU on a symbol-by-symbol basis under control D2X scheduler via eCPRI protocol messages D2X virtual frame (1000ms) is constructed. First VFS Bootstrap + L1 Signaling (1 + 2) time domain I/Q is sent to I/Q DAC, upconverted RF, PA. Then emitted antenna air interface aligned GPS 1PPS to begin D2X virtual frame. The D2X virtual frame (1000ms) shows highlighted (red) the virtual sub-frames with a mixture of D2X services for SFN underlay and the SFN wide area topologies. The remaining virtual sub-frames have only SFN wide area D2X services. The D2X scheduler eCPRI protocol messages for RU Type (A) sub-frames. The virtual sub-frame SS (3 + 4) is sent from cloud to RU D2X sites (1, 2, 3). Then all PRB for a symbol with D2X services (5) for wide area SFN are sent. Then RU generates three duplicate symbols for each sector (A, B, C) of SFN. Then for all VBP the PRB for D2X services (5) geo-targeted for SFN underlay is sent with eCPRI signaling to direct to a specific Site RU and sector. These are inserted by RU shown in the correct sector as signaled to complete a symbol. This process repeats for each symbol of a virtual frame with SFN underlay D2X services. If virtual sub-frame has only SFN wide area D2X services, then the SFN sectors are generated and the next step for insertion SFN underlay is skipped by D2X scheduler for each symbol of the virtual sub-frame. This is only an example the D2X scheduler, and algorithms are not specified in D2X standard. Only L1 signaling syntax and semantics for receivers (UE) and eCPRI messages to enable innovation using D2X harmonized 5G NR and aligned using O-RAN principles. #D2X #ORAN

Application-based TV: what’s new? Technological and cultural shift in television consumption patterns: ✓A paradigm shift, where the entry point for TV content consumption shifts from a broadcaster’s channel selection to the selection of a broadcaster’s application. ✓It conceals the traditional concept of TV channels. ✓Apps can control all audiovisual content, from multiple sources. ✓Content delivery methods become completely transparent to viewers, facilitating seamless integration with broadband content and services. ✓Viewer profiles as an inherent feature, data accessible with viewer’s consent. ✓Crucial aspect for delivering personalized and engaging TV experiences.

Broadcasting Revolution: Shifting from SDI to IP. The broadcast industry is in a transformation phase, moving from traditional SDI (Serial Digital Interface) to IP (Internet Protocol) workflows. This shift brings unmatched flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness to media production. Key technical benefits include: Increased Bandwidth & Quality: IP systems can support 4K and even 8K video with high dynamic range (HDR), providing superior picture quality. Networked Production: With IP, broadcasters can enable remote and cloud-based production environments, reducing the need for costly, on-site equipment. Scalability & Multiviewer Capabilities: IP allows dynamic scalability, making it easier to manage multi-channel broadcasts and integrate multiviewer solutions for monitoring numerous feeds in real time. Simplified Workflow Integration: IP facilitates smoother integration with cloud and AI-driven platforms, enhancing automation, analytics, and content delivery. Improved Redundancy & Security: Modern IP-based systems use advanced redundancy protocols (like ST 2022-7 means ST 2022-7 is known as the Seamless Protection Switching standard. It enables redundant streaming paths for IP-based media transport, allowing broadcasters to send identical video and audio streams over two separate, synchronized networks. This way, if one network experiences a packet loss or failure, the system automatically switches to the alternate stream without disrupting the broadcast) and encryption, ensuring high reliability and secure signal transport. This transition is setting new standards in live broadcasting, remote production, and OTT delivery. The future of broadcasting is IP-driven, scalable, and ready for a multi-platform world! #SDItoIP #LiveProduction #TVBroadcasting

Exciting advancements in TV broadcast technology have led to the adoption of cloud playouts, revolutionizing the way content is delivered to viewers. Cloud playouts enable broadcasters to efficiently manage and distribute their content from remote servers, offering increased flexibility and scalability. One key benefit of cloud playouts in TV broadcast is the ability to easily customize and schedule content delivery. This not only streamlines the broadcast process, but also allows for real-time adjustments and updates. By leveraging cloud playouts, broadcasters can ensure a seamless viewing experience for audiences while optimizing their operational efficiency. #CloudPlayouts #TVBroadcast #BroadcastTechnology #Innovation #ContentDelivery

This should be the way to go I believe even now in Africa in markets like Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda this would be a great way to expand the media players space and to have new entrants accommodated while largely reducing the cost of operations for small scale and Community based Broadcasters. This would create more variety and yes new offering into the market.
