  • 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.

As broadcasters need to assess the risk of their favoured new technology becoming obsolete within a few years, we need to address the question: “Is technology truly unpredictable? ” Those making bold predictions about the future should be aware that many predictions made in the past have proved to be dramatically wrong – even when made by experts with impeccable credentials.

  • SAA7114 PAL/NTSC/SECAM Video Decoder with Adaptive PAL/NTSC Comb filter, VBI Data Slicer and High Performance Scaler Rev
    SAA7114 PAL/NTSC/SECAM video decoder with adaptive PAL/NTSC comb filter, VBI data slicer and high performance scaler Rev. 03 — 17 January 2006 Product data sheet 1. General description The SAA7114 is a video capture device for applications at the image port of Video Graphics Array (VGA) controllers. The SAA7114 is a combination of a two-channel analog preprocessing circuit including source selection, anti-aliasing filter and Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), an automatic clamp and gain control, a Clock Generation Circuit (CGC), a digital multistandard decoder containing two-dimensional chrominance/luminance separation by an adaptive comb filter and a high performance scaler, including variable horizontal and vertical up and downscaling and a brightness, contrast and saturation control circuit. It is a highly integrated circuit for desktop video and similar applications. The decoder is based on the principle of line-locked clock decoding and is able to decode the color of PAL, SECAM and NTSC signals into ITU 601 compatible color component values. The SAA7114 accepts CVBS or S-video (Y/C) as analog inputs from TV or VCR sources, including weak and distorted signals. An expansion port (X port) for digital video (bidirectional half duplex, D1 compatible) is also supported to connect to MPEG or a video phone codec. At the so called image port (I port) the SAA7114 supports 8-bit or 16-bit wide output data with auxiliary reference data for interfacing to VGA controllers. The target application for the SAA7114 is to capture and scale video images, to be provided as a digital video stream through the image port of a VGA controller, for display via the frame buffer of the VGA, or for capture to system memory.

  • 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.

  • Video Formats There Are Different Layers of Video Transmission and Storage, Each with Its Own Set of Formats to Choose From
    wikipedia Video formats There are different layers of video transmission and storage, each with its own set of formats to choose from. For transmission, there is a physical connector and signal protocol ("video connection standard" below). A given physical link can carry certain "display standards" which specify a particular refresh rate, display resolution, and color space. There are a number of analog and digital tape formats, though digital video files can also be stored on a computer file system which have their own formats. In addition to the physical format used by the storage or transmission medium, the stream of ones and zeros that is sent must be in a particular digital video "encoding", of which a number are available. [edit] Video connectors, cables, and signal standards • See List of video connectors for information about physical connectors and related signal standards. [edit] Video display standards [edit] Digital television New formats for digital television broadcasts use the MPEG-2 video codec and include: • ATSC - USA, Canada, etc.; a DVB video standard • Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) - European • Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting (ISDB) - Japanese; also a DVB video standard [edit] Analog television Analog television broadcast standards include: • Field-sequential color system - USA, Russia; obsolete • Multiplexed Analogue Components (MAC) - Europe, obsolete • Multiple sub-nyquist sampling Encoding (MUSE) - Japan, analog HDTV • NTSC - USA, Canada, Japan, etc. • PAL - Europe, Asia, Australia, etc. • PAL-M - PAL variation.
