Apart from labelling there's stereo sound, and tempted by Maplin's advertisement, I nothing elsc - there are no controls.

My current set is a Sony KVX2521U, which has for the audio and control functions. a BNC connector for dual audio channelsand spatial/pseudo-stereofacilities but the Nicam carrier input and two phono plugs that provide no Nicam. Before the addition of Nicam I had already left and right outputs for a separate hi-fi system.

Once the decisionto have the decoder as a separateunit is made several potentially difficult problems go away. Power Arrangements First you don't have to find a location for the decoder You might wonder why I bothered to build a separate within the set, where it might cause or be subject to power supply when it might by possible to obtain the interferencc from other circuits such as the timebases. decoder's power from within the TV set. My reason for Secondly there's no need to drill holes in the front of the doing so was to ensure that the extra 200mA required by set to accommodate LEDs. Thirdly if you disposeof the the dccoder didn't overload a l2V supply within the set you can keep the deccldcr. Fourthly the decoder can receiver or perhaps damage a switch-mode power supply have an independent power supply (more on this later). within the set by imposing an cxtra load that it wasn't And fifthly the modifications to the receivercan bc kept to designedto accept. I did however feel that the risk when an absoluteminimum and are quick and easv. draining an extra 50 to 60mA to opcrate a control relay was minimal. So a l2V feed within the TV set energisesa relay which then turns on the separatepower supply. Warnings A warning is necessary at the start.

When the TV set is switched on l2V is think one would havc to be particularly unlucky for this to happen however, especially as the decclder has an input sensitivityof lfi)pV r.m.s. At the output of a typical video dcmodulator chip thc signal amplitude can be 2V peak-to- peak, so the -2()dB Nicanr signal can be a further -56dB down and still be sufficient to drive the decoder. If this problem does arise however a separatedecodcr can still be used with another set, so you won't have wasted hours building one into an unsuitable recciver. This is another good reasonfor adopting the "add-cln" approach. Description The decoder unit is shown in the accompanying photographs. There are threc LEDs on its front face: f.m.

  • Predicting the Future of Broadcasting
    DIGITAL BROADCASTING Predicting the future of broadcasting P.A. Laven EBU Technical Director Will broadcasting be supplanted by the Internet? Will “convergence” lead to a single delivery system for multimedia services? Which broadcast delivery systems (terrestrial, satellite or cable) will become dominant for digital TV? Will the reduction in costs of computer hardware affect broadcasting? Will computers merge with TV sets? This article attempts to answer such questions, both by looking “sideways” at the world of computers and the Internet and by analyzing some technological trends. 1.

  • On Nicam Datacasting
    ON NICAM DATACASTING Cristian Ciressan, Lucian Prodan EPFL CH-1015 Ecublens, Suisse Emails: [email protected]fl.ch, prodan@epfl.ch Abstract Data transmission technologies changes rapidly these days due to increased re- quirements in bandwidth and reliability. NICAM standard (which stands for Near Instantaneous Companded Audio Multiplex ) was designed to be a digital audio transmission standard and later it was used by the BBC to convey digital stereo sound for TV. It was obvious that allowing data transmission would be, if not a must, at least a welcome feature and in consequence it was extended to allow raw data or mixed data and sound to be transmitted. NICAM is feasible for terrestrial, cable, microwave links and satellites. This paper introduces some basic notions about NICAM datacasting and presents the results of a project whose aim was to design two PC-cards that allow unidirectional data transmission using the NICAM standard. Keywords: NICAM 728, subcarrier, QPSK 1. Introduction NICAM (or to give it its full name, NICAM 728) was invented during the early 1980’s by the BBC Research Center, Kingswood Warren. It was first applied to the British ”System I” 625 line PAL colour TV broadcasting system, and premiered in 1986 on the ”First Night of the Proms” concert program. Since that time it has been slightly modified by the Nordic broadcasters to work with the more common “System B/G” used over much of continental Europe. It has been demonstrated to work also with “System D/K” used in some countries of eastern Europe , and with “System L” used in France.

  • Options of Enhanced Secam Tv Transmission System
    Gofaizen O.V. (UKRAINE, UNIIRT) OPTIONS OF ENHANCED SECAM TV TRANSMISSION SYSTEM Introduction The questions of transition from analogue to digital TV in countries, using analogue TV SECAM transmission system are discussed in this report with consideration of its enhancement in accor- dance with conception of EQTV systems. The transition period is characterized with that in its beginning infrastructure and park of TV sets are analogue. At the beginning of transition period TV broadcasting is mainly analogue, and a number of digital TV sets is minimal, and apparently for a long time analogue and digital TV will co-exist. Simultaneously with implementation of digital TV analogue TV has to be supported and enhanced [1]. The issues of compatibility of new digital and old analogue TV are extremely important, and here the main consideration is attended to them. 1 The position of analogue enhanced quality television in the period of transition to digi- tal television We have to take into consideration that the main event of the present in television is the transition to digital TV. Nevertheless, this transition may continue in some countries for long time enough. All this depends on many factors – relationship between the cost of digital sets (tuners, set top boxes) and of analog ones, real term for change from analog to digital infrastructure and the affordablence of this change, purchasing power of viewers community, presence and condition of used equipment. It is quite possible, that in some coun- tries this transition would come in a quite short time, in others this transition would continue for decades.

ITU-R BS.1203-1 REPORT ITU-R BS.1203-1* DIGITAL SOUND BROADCASTING TO VEHICULAR, PORTABLE AND FIXED RECEIVERS USING TERRESTRIAL TRANSMITTERS IN THE UHF/VHF BANDS (1990-1994) This Report contains background and descriptive material for Recommendation ITU-R BS.774 entitled "Digital sound broadcasting to vehicular, portable and fixed receivers using terrestrial transmitters in the UHF/VHF bands". 1. Introduction Digital techniques have been used in sound programme production and transmission by some broadcasters for many years now, and more recently have become cheap enough to be introduced into the domestic consumer market, leading to wider public appreciation of high-quality sound, albeit via non-broadcast digital media. At the same time, there is rapidly growing congestion in the VHF/FM radio bands in many countries; thus the FM broadcasting services, which can deliver unimpaired sound quality into the home, are under threat of erosion of the quality deliverable. Overcrowding will inevitably increase the levels of interference which must be tolerated, particularly for vehicular and portable receivers, which do not benefit from elevated, directional, receiving antennas, usually assumed in planning service coverage. Although VHF/FM services can still provide excellent service to properly-installed fixed receivers, the solution for the future development of sound broadcasting is to provide an entirely new digital sound broadcasting service, designed at the outset to meet all the reception requirements of the diverse listening audiences. Also, a complete digital sound programme chain can be established from studio to domestic receiver. In contrast to existing sound broadcasting systems, the new system has to provide unimpaired sound broadcast reception to fixed, portable and mobile receivers.
