<title>DVB Frontend properties</title>
<para>Tuning into a Digital TV physical channel and starting decoding it
requires changing a set of parameters, in order to control the
tuner, the demodulator, the Linear Low-noise Amplifier (LNA) and to set the
antenna subsystem via Satellite Equipment Control (SEC), on satellite
systems. The actual parameters are specific to each particular digital
TV standards, and may change as the digital TV specs evolves.</para>
<para>In the past, the strategy used was to have a union with the parameters
needed to tune for DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T and ATSC delivery systems grouped
there. The problem is that, as the second generation standards appeared,
those structs were not big enough to contain the additional parameters.
Also, the union didn't have any space left to be expanded without breaking
userspace. So, the decision was to deprecate the legacy union/struct based
approach, in favor of a properties set approach.</para>
<para>NOTE: on Linux DVB API version 3, setting a frontend were done via
<link linkend="dvb-frontend-parameters">struct <constant>dvb_frontend_parameters</constant></link>.
This got replaced on version 5 (also called "S2API", as this API were
added originally_enabled to provide support for DVB-S2), because the old
API has a very limited support to new standards and new hardware. This
section describes the new and recommended way to set the frontend, with
suppports all digital TV delivery systems.</para>
<para>Example: with the properties based approach, in order to set the tuner
to a DVB-C channel at 651 kHz, modulated with 256-QAM, FEC 3/4 and symbol
rate of 5.217 Mbauds, those properties should be sent to

<para>NOTE: While it is possible to directly call the Kernel code like the

<ulink url="http://linuxtv.org/docs/libdvbv5/index.html">libdvbv5</ulink>,
as it provides abstraction to work with the supported digital TV standards
and provides methods for usual operations like program scanning and to
read/write channel descriptor files.</para>

<para>(Note of the author: This might not be the correct description of the

background needed to program a device)</para>
<para>An ISDB-Tsb channel (1 or 3 segments) can be broadcasted alone or in a
set of connected ISDB-Tsb channels. In this set of channels every
channel can be received independently. The number of connected
ISDB-Tsb segment can vary, e.g. depending on the frequency spectrum
bandwidth available.</para>
<para>Example: Assume 8 ISDB-Tsb connected segments are broadcasted. The
broadcaster has several possibilities to put those channels in the
air: Assuming a normal 13-segment ISDB-T spectrum he can align the 8
segments from position 1-8 to 5-13 or anything in between.</para>
<para>The underlying layer of segments are subchannels: each segment is
consisting of several subchannels with a predefined IDs. A sub-channel
is used to help the demodulator to synchronize on the channel.</para>
<para>An ISDB-T channel is always centered over all sub-channels. As for

<para>ISDB-T channels can be coded hierarchically. As opposed to DVB-T in
ISDB-T hierarchical layers can be decoded simultaneously. For that
reason a ISDB-T demodulator has 3 Viterbi and 3 Reed-Solomon decoders.</para>
<para>ISDB-T has 3 hierarchical layers which each can use a part of the
available segments. The total number of segments over all layers has

any other operation with the frontend. Prior to it's introduction,
FE_GET_INFO was used to determine a frontend type. A frontend which
provides more than a single delivery system, FE_GET_INFO doesn't help much.
Applications which intends to use a multistandard frontend must enumerate
the delivery systems associated with it, rather than trying to use
FE_GET_INFO. In the case of a legacy frontend, the result is just the same
as with FE_GET_INFO, but in a more structured format </para>

<para>The values are returned via <constant>dtv_property.stat</constant>.
If the property is supported, <constant>dtv_property.stat.len</constant> is bigger than zero.</para>
<para>For most delivery systems, <constant>dtv_property.stat.len</constant>

return a single value for each parameter.</para>
<para>It should be noted, however, that new OFDM delivery systems
like ISDB can use different modulation types for each group of
carriers. On such standards, up to 3 groups of statistics can be
provided, and <constant>dtv_property.stat.len</constant> is updated
to reflect the "global" metrics, plus one metric per each carrier
group (called "layer" on ISDB).</para>
<para>So, in order to be consistent with other delivery systems, the first
value at <link linkend="dtv-stats"><constant>dtv_property.stat.dtv_stats</constant></link>
