[0019] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the background broadcasting system for ultra-high-definition content of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 The background studio system for ultra-high-definition content disclosed in the present invention is composed of multiple subsystems, which mainly include: a master control system 1, a studio 2, a collaborative editing system 3, a media resource system 4, a production system 5, an IT support system 6, a maintenance system 7, an anchor system 8, a broadcast information and management system 9, a network management system 10, an auxiliary broadcast system 11, a front-end system 12, and a coding transmission system 13. Each of the above subsystems selectively transmits 4 types of electronic format data / information to each other, namely data information, files, signals and network management information. In the present invention, data information refers to ultra-high-definition program content, which is the information content produced by the background studio system for ultra-high-definition content of the present invention; files refer to electronic information that matches data information, such as editing information, clipping information, segmentation information, etc. of data information (i.e., ultra-high-definition content); signals refer to commands and instructions between each subsystem, such as control instructions, start instructions, pause instructions, etc. between each subsystem; and network management information refers to network configuration information, network control information, etc. between each subsystem.

[0022] The above-mentioned subsystems of the present invention can be divided into three major parts, namely the internal processing system, the intermediate processing system and the external processing system. Among them, the studio 2, the collaborative editing system 3, the media resource system 4, the production system 5, and the IT support system 6 belong to the internal processing system, the maintenance system 7, the anchor system 8, the broadcast information and management system 9, the network management system 10, and the auxiliary broadcast system 11 belong to the intermediate processing system, and the front-end system 12 and the encoding and transmission system 13 belong to the external processing system. The master control system 1 spans the internal processing system and the intermediate processing system. According to the generation process of ultra-high-definition program content, the data source of the ultra-high-definition program content is first formed by the internal processing system, and then the intermediate processing system edits and processes the data source, and finally the external processing system encodes and transmits the edited data to the outside.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, as a subsystem spanning the internal processing system and the intermediate processing system, the master control system 1 includes a signal scheduling and processing module, which is the core unit of the master control system 1. The master control system 1 uses the signal scheduling and processing module to transmit, select and process signals. The master control system 1 uses the signal scheduling and processing module to unidirectionally receive the transmission signal from the studio 2 to the master control system 1, and unidirectionally transmit the signal to the anchor system 8.

[0024] In the internal processing system, the studio 2 is connected to the master control system 1, while the collaborative editing system 3, the media resource system 4 and the production system 5 are all connected to the IT support system 6. Among them, the studio 2 transmits signals to the master control system 1 in one direction, the collaborative editing system 3 has a two-way data connection with the IT support system 6, the media resource system 4 transmits data information and files to the IT support system 6 in one direction, and the production system 5 transmits data information and files to the IT support system 6 in one direction.

[0025] In the prior art, the internal system is usually composed of systems such as studio 2, content generation equipment, and content editing equipment. In the prior art, these systems do not have a dedicated structure, and usually content is first generated in one of the systems, for example, high-definition content is first generated in studio 2, or high-definition content is first generated on a content generation device or a content editing device. However, there is no specific and clear connection relationship between the above-mentioned devices in the prior art, but each operates independently. In an existing standard process, after the studio 2, the content generation device, or the content editing device first generates high-definition content, a data copy is manually generated, and the data copy is copied to any other device for the next step.

[0026] However, the present invention directly associates the studio 2 with the master control system 1, and the studio 2 directly transmits signals to the master control system 1 in a unidirectional manner. The signals here may include control signals, command signals or other signals. In short, the studio 2 does not transmit other types of data to the master control system 1, especially does not transmit data information (i.e., ultra-high-definition content). The specific data information (ultra-high-definition content) is provided by other subsystems. Specifically, the collaborative editing system 3, the media resource system 4 and the production system 5 can all generate data information, wherein the collaborative editing unit is dedicated to the editing of data information, so it does not generate additional files, and the media resource system 4 and the production system 5 not only produce data information, but also process data information, so data information and files are generated at the same time. This structure of the internal processing system changes the shortcomings of each module in the prior art fighting alone and not having a clear division of labor, so that each subsystem has a clear task and function, so it is more representative in data structure processing, and the structure is more optimized, especially when facing ultra-high definition, which has a very large amount of data, it has better efficiency.

[0027] As the connection port between the internal processing system and the intermediate processing system, the IT support system 6 undertakes most of the data exchange, processing and distribution functions. Specifically, in the internal processing system, the IT support system 6 transmits data information with the collaborative editing system 3 in a bidirectional manner, receives data information and files from the media resource system 4 in a unidirectional manner, and receives data information and files from the production system 5 in a unidirectional manner. As for the intermediate processing system, the IT support system 6 transmits data information and files to the preparation system 7 in a unidirectional manner, transmits data information to the broadcast information and management system 9 in a bidirectional manner, and transmits network management information to the network management system 10 in a unidirectional manner.

[0028] The IT support system 6 is a newly added subsystem of the present invention, which changes the current situation in which each module transmits electronic data to other system modules separately in the prior art. In the present invention, all data of the internal processing system is transmitted to the outside through the IT support system 6, so more resources can be concentrated on the IT support system 6 in system configuration, thereby reducing the software and hardware requirements of the collaborative editing system 3, the media resource system 4 and the production system 5, and the unified and high-configuration IT support system 6 can improve the processing efficiency of the entire background broadcasting system for ultra-high-definition content.

[0029] In the intermediate processing system, the preparation system 7 unidirectionally receives data information and files from the IT support system 6, unidirectionally transmits files and signals to the anchor system 8, unidirectionally transmits network management information to the network management system 10, and bidirectionally transmits data information to the broadcast information and management system 9. The broadcast information and management system 9 unidirectionally receives data information and files from the IT support system 6, bidirectionally transmits data information to the preparation system 7, unidirectionally transmits files and data information to the network management system 10, bidirectionally transmits data information to the auxiliary broadcast system 11, and unidirectionally transmits data information to the front-end system 12. The auxiliary broadcast system 11 bidirectionally transmits data information to the broadcast information and management system 9, and unidirectionally transmits network management information to the network management system 10. The anchor system 8 unidirectionally receives signals from the master control system 1, bidirectionally transmits data information to the broadcast information and management system 9, unidirectionally transmits signals and network management information to the network management system 10, and unidirectionally transmits signals to the front-end system 12.

[0030] In the prior art, there is no clear functional division between the system responsible for program content processing and the network architecture system, and they are usually processed as a whole. In the intermediate processing system of the present invention, the present invention adopts a hierarchical architecture, that is, the delay of the data processing subsystem and the management subsystem. Specifically, in the intermediate processing system, the preparation system 7, the anchor system 8 and the broadcast information and management system 9 are mainly responsible for the processing of data information (i.e., ultra-high-definition content), while the network management system 10 and the auxiliary broadcast system 11 are mainly responsible for the processing of system network and system configuration related data. Even though the network management system 10 and the auxiliary broadcast system 11 will receive data information (ultra-high-definition content), this reception is delayed and is after the preliminary data information processing by the preparation system 7, the anchor system 8 and the broadcast information and management system 9.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the data information (i.e., ultra-high-definition content) has a large amount of data, so the present invention adopts a step-by-step and hierarchical transmission path, that is, the IT support system 6 does not transmit the data information to each subsystem of the intermediate processing system at the same time, but first enters the preparation system 7 and the broadcast information and management system 9, and these two systems further transmit the data information (ultra-high-definition content) to the anchor system 8, the network management system 10 and the auxiliary broadcast system 11 after relevant data processing based on a certain delay.

[0032] In the external processing system, the front-end system 12 serves as the interface between the external processing system and the intermediate processing system, and it undertakes most of the data exchange, processing and distribution functions in the external processing system. The front-end system 12 unidirectionally receives the signal of the anchor system 8, unidirectionally receives the broadcast information and data information of the management system 9, unidirectionally transmits the network management information to the network management system 10, and unidirectionally transmits the data information to the encoding transmission system 13. The encoding transmission system 13 is the terminal subsystem of the entire background broadcasting system for ultra-high-definition content. It unidirectionally receives the data information of the front-end system 12, encodes the obtained data information, and finally transmits it to the outside.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the present invention adds a unified interface in the external processing system, namely the front-end system 12, which is responsible for exchanging data with each subsystem in the intermediate processing system. Therefore, similar to the IT support system 6, the front-end system 12 can have a higher software and hardware configuration, thereby alleviating the software and hardware configuration requirements of other subsystems, not only the subsystems in the intermediate processing system, but also the encoding and transmission system 13. The encoding and transmission system 13 encodes the data information and transmits it externally.

[0034] To summarize, the present invention reasonably sets up each subsystem in the background broadcasting system for ultra-high-definition content, and gives each subsystem different functions, connection relationships and transmission relationships, so that the overall background broadcasting system for ultra-high-definition content has a more reasonable system architecture, more economical software and hardware configuration and higher overall system efficiency.

As long as they are within the spirit of the present invention, any changes or modifications to the above embodiments will fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
