The present invention relates to a transmitter, a receiver and a mosaic channel system using the same.
In analog broadcasting, only one channel can be allocated to one frequency band, but in digital broadcasting, a plurality of channels can be allocated to one frequency band, so that multi-channelization is very easy in digital broadcasting.
As the digital broadcasting starts as described above, a large number of channels are possible as compared with the conventional analog broadcasting by transmitting a plurality of broadcasting channels to one physical channel.
As such, as digital broadcasting is multi-channeled, the user's demand for easy checking of programs provided through each channel has increased, and this demand will increase as the number of channels increases.
As such, since it is difficult for a user to search channels one by one, currently commercially available digital broadcasting receivers provide a program for each channel to the user and help the user easily select a broadcasting channel. Guide: EPG) service. The EPG service is serviced by various broadcast receivers such as digital satellite broadcasting, digital terrestrial broadcasting, digital audio broadcasting, and mobile multimedia broadcasting receiver. For example, the digital broadcasting receiver such as a set top box (STB) provides the EPG information. After receiving, the output is displayed on a screen of an external connection device such as a television so that a user can easily search for desired program information.
Among these EPGs, mosaic EPG is one of the spotlight methods by allowing users to directly check and select broadcast screens of various channels, and is recognized as an EPG service that must be supported in digital broadcasting.
