IBC KBS KBS Transmitter #3 Transmitter #3 Transmitter #1 GPS ATSC3.0 Exciter GPS ATSC3.0 Exciter GPS Broadcast Gateway PTP ✓ SFN requires all devices to “use (synchronize) the same clock” based on GPS signal or PTP time. ✓ All transmitters must parse the Timing Packet and Preamble Packet among the input signals and set the transmitter to the same value. = Transmitter must be set by using STL Interface Transmission parameters are not set in individual transmitters ∴ All transmission parameter settings are ONLY on Broadcast Gateway!
