Digital broadcast transmission/reception apparatus for rapid channel change

摘要

Disclosed is a digital broadcasting transmission apparatus for rapid channel change to an A/V stream of a predetermined channel, the apparatus including a program specific information (PSI) generation unit for generating PSI of the A/V stream, a PSI length detection unit for detecting a length of the PSI generated by the PSI generation unit; a channel information (CI) generation unit for generating CI which includes PSI of all digital broadcasting channels input to the digital broadcasting transmission apparatus, a CI insertion unit for dividing and inserting the CI generated by the CI generation unit into a PSI transmission area generated by the PSI generation unit, according to the length information detected by the PSI length detection unit, and a transport stream (TS) multiplexing unit for multiplexing and outputting the A/V stream and an output of the CI insertion unit.
