Intoduction 2. Image formats & definitions 3. Broadcasting compression norms 4. Different delivery solutions for TV broadcasting 5. Different delivery solutions for Radio broadcasting 6. Conclusion 2 INTRODUCTION There are many standards for image, compression, delivery systems, etc.. Most Next generations of digital TV standards are completed and can be launched in the future Let’s discover together the existing systems and the new ones and their applications 3 2-IMAGE FORMATS & DEFINITIONS (1) Profiles HDTV, SDTV and Mobile TV (pixels/lines) 1920x1080 (16/9) 1280x720 (16/9) 720x(480/576) (4/3) PMP Typ. 320x240 Handset (LDTV) Vehicular SDTV HDTV 720p HDTV 1080p/1080i Compared to Standard TV (SDTV) 4 times less bandwidth is required to display a TV image on a handset (LDTV) 3 to 6 times more bandwidth is required to display a High Definition image 4 3-BROADCASTING COMPRESSION NORMS MPEG2 used mainly in SDTV MPEG4 AVC can used for Mobile TV, standard TV and mainly HDTV: 50% of compression gain compared to MPEG2 Don’t forget MPEG4 SVC: enhancement of MPEG4 AVC and compatible with it (under study) Data rate needed and planned for different formats 5 3-BROADCASTING COMPRESSION NORMS Names of MPEG4 AVC /H264 ( History) 6 3-BROADCASTING COMPRESSION NORMS Licence Fees for MPEG-4-AVC In 2003, MPEG-LA announced participation fees for over-the- air free to air broadcasts using MPEG-4 AVC: No royalties for markets of 100,000 or fewer households For markets of greater than 100,000 households, $10,000 per year per local market service. BUT In 2008, there are two options for free to air broadcasters : one payment of $2,500 per encoder Payment of $10,000 each year for any number of encoders per legal entity. The less expensive option depends on the way the individual broadcaster operates 7 4-Different delivery solutions for TV broadcasting The main delivery solutions for TV broadcasting: •Terrestrial •Satellite •Cable •IPTV •Mobile TV 8 4-1-Terrestrial TV broadcasting (1) The main digital standards are : • ATSC ( North America) • ISDB-T (Japan, Brazil) • DMB-T/H ( China) • DVB-T ( Europe) 9 4-1-Terrestrial TV broadcasting (2) Comparison between main systems : Japan (ISDB-T) (DVB-T) (ATSC) Japan EuropeEurope USUS OFDM OFDM 8-VSB QPSK-16QAM- 64QAM QPSK-16QAM- 64QAM 6 MHz 7/8 MHz 6 MHz 1405 / 5617 1705 / 6817 Number of carriers 1 Réception Mobile: Yes Reception Mobile: Yes Non移動体受信 considered •ISDB-T : Diffusion numérique service intégré-terrestre 8-VSB: Bande latérale résiduelle 8 états 10 4-1-Terrestrial TV broadcasting (3) Main parameters of DVB-T : SFN MFN 11 4-1-Terrestrial TV broadcasting (4) Reception modes : 12 4-1-Terrestrial TV broadcasting (5) Planning configurations/ Coverage : 13 4-1-Terrestrial TV broadcasting (6) The new generation DVB-T2 digital standard: 14 4-1-Terrestrial TV broadcasting (7) DVB-T2 offers higher data rates than DVB-T at a given C/N: Cases 1 2 3 15 4-2-Satellite TV broadcasting (1) The main digital TV standards are: • DVB-S using QPSK modulation (DTH) •2nd generation DVB-S2 16 4-2-Satellite TV broadcasting (2) Features of DVB-S2: 17 4-2-Satellite TV broadcasting (3) DVB-S2: New modulation schemes: 18 4-3-Cable TV broadcasting The main digital cable TV standards are: • DVB-C •2nd generation DVB-C2 Main features of DVB-C2 and the comparison with DVB-C 19 4-4-IPTV broadcasting (1) What’s IPTV?

There will inevitably be wide timescale difference, both for production and delivery • New digital technology appears in ‘generations’, and there will always be a ‘next generation’ ahead. There will never be a ‘best forever’ system • Digital Switchover: The transition to digital broadcasting should take place in the next years. • IT programme production is inevitable • High Definition Television: In five years, the only TV programme production equipment on the market may be HDTV. 33 6-CONCLUSION (2) • Internet TV via broadband may have as many viewers/users as broadcasting. Internet is becoming a ‘video based’ medium • IPTV services, Broadcasting to handhelds, are usually based on subscription and/or pay service models. They all need programmes/content that people are willing to pay for. There are ‘substitutes’ available such as Pod casting. Their success is not certain but possible. • Try to choose a standard as close as you can to the service date. 34 ا Thank you for listening. Merci pour votre attention. 35.

  • A Brief History of Radio Broadcasting in Africa
    A Brief History of Radio Broadcasting in Africa Radio is by far the dominant and most important mass medium in Africa. Its flexibility, low cost, and oral character meet Africa's situation very well. Yet radio is less developed in Africa than it is anywhere else. There are relatively few radio stations in each of Africa's 53 nations and fewer radio sets per head of population than anywhere else in the world. Radio remains the top medium in terms of the number of people that it reaches. Even though television has shown considerable growth (especially in the 1990s) and despite a widespread liberalization of the press over the same period, radio still outstrips both television and the press in reaching most people on the continent. The main exceptions to this ate in the far south, in South Africa, where television and the press are both very strong, and in the Arab north, where television is now the dominant medium. South of the Sahara and north of the Limpopo River, radio remains dominant at the start of the 21St century. The internet is developing fast, mainly in urban areas, but its growth is slowed considerably by the very low level of development of telephone systems. There is much variation between African countries in access to and use of radio. The weekly reach of radio ranges from about 50 percent of adults in the poorer countries to virtually everyone in the more developed ones. But even in some poor countries the reach of radio can be very high. In Tanzania, for example, nearly nine out of ten adults listen to radio in an average week.

  • What the Heck Is HDTV?
    05_096734 ch01.qxp 12/4/06 10:58 PM Page 9 Chapter 1 What the Heck Is HDTV? In This Chapter ᮣ Understanding the acronyms ᮣ Transmitting from ATSC to the world ᮣ Going wide ᮣ Avoiding the pitfalls ince the transition to color TV in the 1950s and ’60s, nothing — nothing!! — Shas had as much impact on the TV world as HDTV (high-definition TV) and digital TV. That’s right. TV is going digital, following in the footsteps of, well, everything. We’re in the early days of this transition to a digital TV world (a lot of TV programming is still all-analog, for example), and this stage of the game can be confusing. In this chapter, we alleviate HDTV anxiety by telling you what you need to know about HDTV, ATSC, DTV, and a bunch of other acronyms and tech terms. We also tell you why you’d want to know these terms and concepts, how great HDTV is, and what an improvement it is over today’s analog TV (as you can see when you tune in to HDTV). Finally, we guide you through the confusing back alleys of HDTV and digital TV, making sure you know what’s HDTV and what’s not. Almost everyone involved with HDTV has noticed that consumer interest is incredibly high with all things HDTV! As a result, a lot of device makers and other manufacturers are trying to cash in on the action by saying their products are “HDTV” (whenCOPYRIGHTED they are not) or talking about MATERIAL such things as “HDTV-compatible” when it might be meaningless (like on a surge protector/electrical plug strip).
