Rogus This study explores the presence of enhanced features on national TV program Web sites, and viewer response and reaction to these features. Using content analysis and focus group methods, it was discovered that fan-based features invoked a more positive response than any other feature category. The results also revealed participant motivations for visiting TV program sites. Approved: _____________________________________________________________ Mary T.

The ATSC member organizations represent the broadcast, broadcast equipment, motion picture, consumer electronics, computer, cable, satellite, and semiconductor industries. Specifically, ATSC is working to coordinate television standards among different communications media focusing on digital television, interactive systems, and broadband multimedia communications. ATSC is also developing digital television implementation strategies and presenting educational seminars on the ATSC standards. ATSC was formed in 1982 by the member organizations of the Joint Committee on InterSociety Coordination (JCIC): the Electronic Industries Association (EIA), the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), the National Cable Telecommunications Association (NCTA), and the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE).

    Hosting a Lifeway Simulcast What is a Simulcast? A Simple Answer — a simulcast is a live internet broadcast of an event from a single venue into multiple venues – such as your own environment. Thus a simultaneous event occurs in both the origin venue and in many satellite locations — your church, home or laptop! What do I need to host a Simulcast? In order to host a simulcast you need to make sure you have the following: • An Internet Connection • A desktop or laptop computer • A mobile phone or tablet Internet Connection Your Internet connection should be one of the following: • DSL — service is faster than dial up and runs through your phone line • Broadband or Cable Modem — this is a dedicated line from your cable service What is the minimum connection speed that you recommend? We recommend that the minimum connection be 700kbps (1MB for good quality; 2.5mpbs for best quality) download speed. You may test your connection’s speed by going to http://www.speedtest.net. If your download speed is less than the suggested minimum, then you have the following options: • Connect at the lowest speed we broadcast with (500k) and understand that the quality of the stream may be a bit less than you are used to. • Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and request a faster connection. In some cases, your current service provider may offer a higher rate of speed for the same rate you are already playing. Computer These are the suggested requirements for your PC or Mac for a successful webcast: Software Requirements: Browsers We recommend a “neutral” browser, or one that doesn’t depend on the operating system of your computer.

  • 18-295 EIBASS Comments FINAL
    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of ) ) ) ET Docket No. 18-295 Unlicensed Use of the 6 GHz Band ) ) Expanding Flexible Use in Mid-Band ) GN Docket 17-283 Spectrum Between 3.7 and 24 GHz ) To: The Commission Comments of EIBASS Engineers for the Integrity of Broadcast Auxiliary Services Spectrum (EIBASS) hereby respectfully submits its comments in the above-captioned Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) relating to unlicensed use of the "6 GHz" band, or 5.925 GHz to 7.125 GHz. This includes the 6.425-6.525 GHz and 6.875-7.125 GHz Part 74, Subpart F, TV Broadcast Auxiliary Service (BAS) bands. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on December 17, 2018, giving a February 15, 2019, comment deadline, so these comments are timely filed. I. Comments Pertain To Just the 6.5 GHz and 7 GHz TV BAS Bands 1. EIBASS is only commenting on Part B of the NPRM, applying to "lower power" indoor unlicensed devices operating at 6.425–6.525 GHz (the Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure Band 6 (U-NII-6)) and at 6.875–7.125 GHz, U-NII Band 8 (U-NII-8). These are also know as the 6.5 GHz and 7 GHz TV BAS bands. II. The Number of Mobile TV Pickup Licenses Is Not a Valid Metric for the Number of Mobile TV Pickup Transmitters Actually In Use 2. At Paragraph 74, the NPRM notes that mobile TV Pickup licenses in the U-NII-6 6.5 GHz TV BAS band are 43% of the licenses, and in the U-NII-8 7 GHz TV BAS band are only 2% of the licenses, implying that protecting TV Pickup mobile operations at 7 GHz would not be difficult.
