FOREWORD - As information transfer becomes more important to all levels of society, a number of new telecommunication services to homes and between institutions will be required. Many of these services may require broad- band transmission. The new services may, in part, evolve fran those provided by cable television. This is one of a series of reports resulting fran a survey of the CATV industry and related technological industries. The. survey identi- fies sane of the important technical factors which need to be considered in order to successfully bring about the transitz'on from the technical state of today's cable television and services to those new teloservices which seam to be possible in the future. The current and future broadband capabilities of telephone networks are not discussed since they are described in many Bell Telephone Labora- tory and other telephone company publications.Also, the tremendous load projected for common carrier telephone and data systems in voice and data communication suggest that two-way, interactive, broadband networks, not now in existence, may be required in addition to an expanded telephone network. The many aspects of economic viability, regulation, social demand, and other factors that must be considered before the expectation of the teleservices can be fulfilled are not within tin scope of these reports. These reports concentrate on technical factors, not because they are most important, but because they have been less oondidered. A report about the state-of-the-art and projections of futUre require- ments in a complete technology draws material from a vast number of sources. While many of these are referenced in the text, much information has been obtained in discussions with operators, manufacture:s, and consulting engineers in the CATV industry.Members of the National Cable Television Association, particularly, have been most 'nelpfdl in providing information, discussing various technical problems, and in reviewing these reports. Because of the substantial amount of material to be discussed, it was believed most desirable to present a series of reports. Each individual report pertains to a sub - element of the total system.However, since some technical factors are common to more than one sub- component of the system, a reader of all the reports will recognize a degree of redundance in the material presented. This is necessary to make each report complete for its own purpose. The title of the report series is: A Survey of Technical Requirements for Broadband Cable Teleservices. The seven volumes in the series will carry a common report number: OTR 73-13. The individual reports in the series are sub-titled as: A Summary of Technical Problems Associated with Broadband Cable Teleservices Development, OT. Report No. 73-13, Volume 1.

  • Sony PMW 150 November 2012
    Sony PMW 150 November 2012 EBU – Tech 3335 : Methods of measuring the imaging performance of television cameras for the purposes of characterising and setting Alan Roberts, November 2012 SUPPLEMENT 006 : Assessment of a Sony PMW 150 camera Tests have been conducted in line with EBU R.118. This document is a report of the results of the tests defined in Tech3335 and is not an endorsement of the product. Tests were made on a demonstration model of the Sony PMW-150 HDTV camcorder (serial number 61048) and it’s manual. Outwardly it appears to be very similar to the PMW EX1, and shares many features with it. The camera has an integral lens (Fuji, F/1.6, 20:1 4.1~82mm) and records only onto solid-state storage with two SxS slots. The lens has conventional 3-ring control, with manual or automatic operation, but the rings are all servo-driven and have no markings. It has 3 ⅓” COMS sensors of 1920x1080 pixels, and therefore should qualify as an HDTV camera. Recording HDTV uses MPEG2, 10-bit 4:2:2 1920x1080 at 50Mb/s, 8- bit 4:2:0 1920x1080 at 35Mb/s (with variable bit rate, maximum 35Mb/s), 8-bit 1440x1080 4:2:0 at 35Mb/s (VBR), 8-bit 1280x720 at 35Mb/s VBR, and 8-bit 1440x1080 at 25Mb/s VBR. All the 1080-line modes can be progressive or interlaced at frame rates from 23.976 to 29.97Hz, and 720P up to 60Hz. It can also record in standard SDTV modes, DVCAM. Note that the 50Mb/s mode cannot be used if recording is onto a SDHC card in an adaptor, it must be a proper SxS card (ExpressCard) or a XQD card in an adaptor for this mode.

  • “Infinity” Camcorder This Document Is a Report of the Results of Tests That Are the Precursor of Those Described in the EBU Technical Document Tech3335
    Thomson/Grass Valley DMC 1000 May 2009 Colorimetric and Resolution requirements of cameras Alan Roberts ADDENDUM 40 : Menu settings for Thomson/GV DMC1000 “Infinity” camcorder This document is a report of the results of tests that are the precursor of those described in the EBU technical document Tech3335. It is not an endorsement of the product. A one-day assessment was made on a sample of the DMC1000, Infinity camcorder (serial number 1FRMR), a multi-standard HDTV cam-corder with a Canon HA17x7.6 HD lens. It is a novel camera in many respects, and is the first HD cam-corder made under the Grass Valley name by Thomson. Physically, it resembles many other camcorders, the familiar digibeta size and layout, but it has a large lcd side panel with touch- screen controls for menu control, and records to a Rev-Pro hard drive and/or Compact Flash cards. It has excellent connectivity, including a standard HDMI connector for the viewfinder, and USB client and host connectors for downloading content from the recording media. Remote control is possible through a PDA application. It also has many features which make it suitable for multi-camera use in studio or location shooting. Although production models may well differ slightly from this sample, a full manual was available. Much of the content of this document is taken directly from that manual since there was insufficient time to test many of the innovatory features. Power consumption is 45 watts, a little high by modern standards, 49 watts when recording to RevPro. However, the power management and cooling system keep the camera cool to the touch, and acceptably quiet acoustically.

International Standard Book Number: 0- 672 -20833 -4 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 71- 157802 Preface The manufacturers of television camera chains normally provide instruc- tion manuals that range from preliminary (sketchy) data to elaborate coverage of circuit theory, operations, and maintenance of the specific equipment. Such manuals obviously cannot delve into certain training programs that are usually necessary before adequate comprehension of modern broadcast technology can be gained. It is the purpose of this book to provide the fundamental and advanced training that is necessary if full benefit is to be obtained from the infor- mation in modern instruction books. To do this most effectively, where possible, complete, detailed schematics have been avoided, and, instead, use has been made of block diagrams with simplified diagrams of indi- vidual blocks under discussion. The overall system concept is stressed so that the reader can more readily grasp the meaning of a specific circuit adjustment in terms of its effect on system performance.
