“…For a successful transmission and reception of a UHD video, it is important that every block in the broadcast chain must be upgraded. This will lead to an overall increase in the cost of production and broadcasting but the enhanced video quality with richer colours and dynamic motion range makes the effort totally worth it (Pal and King, 2017). Still, at the moment, broadcasters will opt for a trade off in video quality by artificially upscaling a lower resolution content rather than using the original high resolution content in the initial phase of broadcasting (Intelsat, 2015).…”

In this study, an adaptive video quality algorithm is developed for Ultra High Definition (UHD) video broadcasting through Digital Video Broadcasting by Satellite 2nd Generation (DVB-S2), where three conditions are responsible for enhancing or reducing the quality of a video signal received by the DVB-S2 Set-Top-Box (STB). The conditions are: Coverage area, Distance between transmitter and receiver and Separation distance. These conditions are responsible for the required Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), resultant Bit Error Rate (BER) and the overall capacity of the system. Based on these conditions, received parameters of an HD or UHD video vary; and the quality viewed by the user changes. Therefore, in this study, we have proposed an algorithm based on the future broadcast scenario where the broadcasters will be dealing with simulcasting of multiple video standards of HD and UHD, varying in resolution, frame rate, codec and more. This algorithm is developed using the Principle of Inclusion.
