Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB); Metadata generation and deterministic DVB-T-mega-frame/DVB-T2-MI stream generation from MPEG-2 Transport Stream(s) for a DVB Single Illumination System

The present document describes the Single Illumination System, which allows to deliver Parent Signals for direct reception by consumer receivers and, at the same time, for a deterministic generation of daughter streams for terrestrial retransmission. Parent Signals can be provided to the daughter site via all defined TS-based DVB means - be it satellite, cable or terrestrial. Metadata may be provided as part of the Parent Signal(s) (called "in-band" in the present document). Part of the metadata may also be provided "out-of-band".
