Default: Mode 3
Double-click or use the drop-down menu to select the Mode.
Three system modes represent three different spacings between OFDM carrier frequencies offered by ISDB-T, catering for the different requirements of the distance between SFN stations and the robustness to Doppler shift during mobile-reception.
As shown in the following table
The available spacing between OFDM carrier frequencies are approximately 4 kHz, 2 kHz and 1kHz in mode 1, 2 and 3.
The number of carriers used varies depending on the mode
Information bit rate that can be transmitted remains the same in all three modes.

Layer A for ISDB-T.
A mixture of fixed-reception programs and mobile-reception programs is made possible through the application of hierarchical transmission achieved by band division within a channel. ”r;Hierarchical transmission” means that the three elements of channel coding, namely, the modulation scheme, the coding rate of convolutional error-correcting code, and the time interleaving length, can be independently selected.
Range: the total number of all layers equals to the Number of Segments.
Default: 1 (LayerA), 12 (Layer B), 0 (Layer C)
Set the number of segments assigned to this layer. When Partial Reception/Transmission-segment Identification (TMCC B27) is set to true, the segment count for layer A is 1. Otherwise, the segment count for layer A can be set to 1~ the number of segments.
