4-2-1-4 NICAM plus FM/AM-Mono<br />
According to the British, Scandinavian, Spanish, and French TV-standards, high-quality stereo sound is transmitted<br />
digitally. The systems allow two high-quality digital sound channels to be added to the already existing<br />
FM/AM-channel. The sound coding follows the format of the so-called Near Instantaneous Companding System<br />
(NICAM 728). Transmission is performed using Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK. Table below<br />
offers an overview of the modulation parameters.)<br />
In the case of NICAM/FM (AM) mode, there are three different audio channels available: NICAM A, NICAM B, and<br />
FM/AM-mono. NICAM A and B may belong either to a stereo or to a dual language transmission. Information about<br />
operation mode and about the quality of the NICAM signal can be read by the controlling software via the control bus.<br />
In the case of low quality (high bit error rate), the controlling software may decide to switch to the analogue FM/AMmono<br />
sound. Alternatively, an automatic NICAM-FM/AM switching may be applied.<br />
4-2-1-5 German 2-Carrier System (DUAL FM System)<br />
Since September 1981, stereo and dual sound programs have been transmitted in Germany using the 2-carrier system.<br />
Sound transmission consists of the already existing first sound carrier and a second sound carrier additionally<br />
containing an identification signal. More details of this standard are given in Tables below. For D/K very similar<br />
system is used.<br />
