April 28, 2008
Princeton, NJ -- Triveni Digital, a subsidiary of LG Electronics
(LGE), today announced that its GuideBuilder™-based network PSIP
(Program and System Information Protocol) management system will be
used by the ABC television network to aid distribution of its HD
network programming information. The new solution from Triveni
Digital leverages the company's GuideBuilder Network VANC Receiver
(NVR) module to give ABC affiliate stations a convenient means of
making last-minute changes to information — including program
schedules, parental guidance ratings, or emergency updates — in
their HD digital television streams. |

ABC's HD network delivers
regular HD video and audio, along with information in the VANC data
band including last-minute updates for closed captioning, V-Chip,
and PSIP data, as well as other critical overrides provided by a
central network administrator. Triveni Digital's network PSIP
management configuration is being made available to ABC affiliate
stations to extract the information carried in the VANC data band
and incorporate it into PSIP data for local delivery. The Triveni
Digital system provides network affiliates with immediate scheduling
and critical DTV system information updates as they happen.
Triveni Digital's new network PSIP management
configuration comprises the company's GuideBuilder NVR module and a
GuideBuilder PSIP generator. The GuideBuilder NVR module extracts
the network's schedule information from the VANC data band and
composes a PMCP schedule file (ATSC A/76A) that includes event title
and description, all late-change information, V-Chip updates, closed
caption signaling, and other critical system information. The
GuideBuilder PSIP generator then imports this schedule file to
update scheduling and critical DTV system information that are
relevant to the network affiliate. Updates can vary from information
such as program scheduling information or parental guides to
network-critical announcements, for example, messages from the White
House or Department of Homeland Security.
"Our GuideBuilder system provides a reliable solution for managing
PSIP data in HD broadcasts, helping broadcasters meet FCC
requirements, as well as the expectations of viewers watching
affiliate station feeds across the country," said Ralph Bachofen,
Triveni Digital senior director of product management and marketing.
"We're very pleased to be working with the ABC network in the
deployment of this solution across its affiliate stations."
