scope:

The present document specifies the methods to encode and deliver DVB service frame compatible plano-stereoscopic 3DTV services over conventional HDTV broadcast infrastructures, and their decoding by a digital receiver. This includes the selection of frame compatible plano-stereoscopic 3DTV formats, the definition of signalling for making those formats service compatible, the definition of frame compatible plano-stereoscopic 3DTV service signalling information, and the handling of graphics and captions overlays in the receiver during the reception of a frame compatible plano-stereoscopic 3DTV service. Some elements are contained in amendments and extensions to the appropriate existing DVB specifications.

The production and contribution of service frame compatible plano-stereoscopic 3DTV content prior to delivery, as well as the method of rendering the frame compatible plano-stereoscopic 3DTV content to the viewer at the 3DTV capable display device after its reception and decoding, are outside the scope of the present document.
