    • An interactive program guide (IPG) may include a program grid section and a multimedia section. The program grid section typically contains program information organized in a grid with a time axis and a channel axis. The multimedia section may include video for advertisement, previews, and other purposes. Such an IPG may be rendered and encoded at a server and distributed to client terminals in the form of compressed bit streams.For certain IPGs, the program grid section may comprise alternating stripes of background with different shades (lighter/darker) or different colors. Typically, the alternating background stripes may be used to visually separate text information into timeslots or channels.Blank areas of the background may be “skip” encoded to “save” a portion of the bit rate. Meanwhile, the quantizer stepsize for encoding that section may be lowered so as to utilize the saved bits to improve the viewing quality of the program grid section. Additionally or alternatively, the quantization matrix for encoding the program grid section may be optimized for encoding text (rather than being, for example, a standard quantization matrix).Encoding may be performed on the program grid section such that encoded macroblocks do not cross a border between two stripes. In other words, each encoded macroblock in the program grid section may be within a single stripe. Additionally or alternatively, low-pass frequency filtering may be applied on the background stripes. Such low-pass filtering reduces visual defects due to ringing from edges between stripes.
    • 交互式节目指南(IPG)可以包括节目网格部分和多媒体部分。 节目网格部分通常包含组织在具有时间轴和频道轴的网格中的节目信息。 多媒体部分可以包括用于广告,预览和其他目的的视频。 这样的IPG可以在服务器处呈现和编码,并以压缩比特流的形式分发给客户终端。 对于某些IPG,程序网格部分可以包括具有不同色调(较亮/较暗)或不同颜色的背景的交替条纹。 通常,交替的背景条纹可用于将文本信息视觉上分离成时隙或信道。 背景的空白区域可以被编码为“保存”比特率的一部分的“跳过”。 同时,用于编码的量化器步骤可以降低该部分,以便利用保存的比特来改善节目网格部分的观看质量。 附加地或替代地,用于编码节目网格部分的量化矩阵可以被优化用于编码文本(而不是例如是标准量化矩阵)。 可以在节目网格部分上执行编码,使得编码的宏块不跨越两个条纹之间的边界。 换句话说,程序网格部分中的每个编码的宏块可以在单个条带内。 另外或替代地,低通滤波可以应用在背景条纹上。 这种低通滤波减少了由于条纹之间的边缘的振铃导致的视觉缺陷。
