By Nandhu Nandhakumar, Jian Shen, and Gomer Thomas, Triveni Digital, Inc
Cable-carriage of off-air DTV broadcast streams may involve the selection and transformation of different components of the stream. Carriage agreements may specify constraints on these processes. This paper lists some of the more common technical aspects of carriage agreements and describes how they can be implemented conveniently and with low operational cost. Systems that can be used to implement the agreement can also be used to monitor and verify compliance with such carriage agreements. An integrated solution is described to meet these needs.
