HAUPPAUGE INTRODUCES NEW MULTISTANDARD TV RECEIVER FOR WINDOWS AND LINUX WinTV‐HVR‐1975 supports seven different TV formats for over‐the‐air and digital cable TV in North America and Europe Hauppauge, New York February 26, 2014 – Hauppauge Computer Works Inc. has announced the WinTV-HVR-1975, a USB based TV receiver for Windows and Linux systems with multi-format TV support for both North American and Europe. The WinTV-HVR-1975 has built-in support for North America NTSC and European PAL TV, plus ATSC HD and clear QAM digital cable TV support in North America and DVB-T, DVB-T2 and DVB-C support in Europe. The WinTV-HVR-1975 is part of the WinTV-HVR-19XX family of high performance TV receivers. All models in the family have hardware video encoders which convert NTSC and PAL TV programs into MPEG-2, thereby reducing the CPU requirements of the host systems. “Our professional TV receiver customers have been looking for a universal TV tuner for Europe and North America, and the WinTV-HVR-1975 supports the most popular TV formats used in both regions. For example, the DVB-C TV format is used in many European countries for digital cable TV, and DVB-T2, the new high definition over-the-air broadcast format which started in the UK, is now spreading throughout Europe including Russia. Coupled with the support of NTSC, PAL, ATSC and DVB-T, the WinTV-HVR-1975 delivers a TV receiver which is as close to universal as possible” said Ken Plotkin, President of Hauppauge. “We expect the WinTV-HVR-1975 to be used in Linux based systems for digital signage, sports equipment, hospital patient entertainment systems and other TV watching and high speed data delivery applications”. For Windows system users, Hauppauge has developed both Windows 32-bit and 64-bit drivers and a TV application, WinTV v7. For Linux system builders, Hauppauge has driver support which can be provided under NDA.

NTE15039 Integrated Circuit VHS/VCR Chroma Signal Proessor for NTSC/PAL/SECAM Systems
NTE15039 Integrated Circuit VHS/VCR Chroma Signal Proessor for NTSC/PAL/SECAM Systems Description: The NTE15039 is a multifunctional IC in a 24–Lead DIP type package that contains VHS VCT chroma signal processing circuitry. Since the package is small and a minimum number of external compo- nents are required, the NTE15039 occupies much less space on the PC board thus facilitating VCR design. The chroma section is made adjustment–free (except REC chroma level) thus streamlining the manufacture of VCRs Features: D Designed for NTSC/PAL/MESECAM Systems D Adjustment–Free Chroma Section (Except REC Chroma Level) D Few External Components Required D LPF Usable for REC/PB D Multifunctional: 2fSC Generator for CCD Drive Function to Select APC Loop Input Signal Passed/Not Passed Through Comb Filter 3rd Lock Protector of VXO Absolute Maximum Ratings: (TA = +25°C unless otherwise specified) Maximum Supply Voltage, VCCmax. 7V Allowable Power Dissipation (TA ≤ +65°C), PDmax. 850mW Operating Temperature Range, Topg . –10° to +65°C Storage Temperature Range, Tstg . –40° to +125°C Recommended Operating Conditions: (TA = +25°C unless otherwise specified) Recommended Supply Voltage, VCC . 5V Operating Voltage Range, VCCop. 4.8 to 5.5V Electrical Characteristics: (TA = +25°C, VCC = 5V unless otherwise specified) Parameter Symbol Test Conditions Min Typ Max Unit REC Current Dissipation ICC(R) 49 62 75 mA REC Output Level VO(R) 75 110 145 mVP–P REC ACC Characteristics ∆VO(R) Input ± 6dB –0.5 ±0.1 +0.5 dB Electrical Characteristics (Cont’d): (TA = +25°C, VCC

The Transition to Digital Television*
DIGITAL TELEVISION 1 The Transition to Digital Television* Jérôme Addaa and Marco Ottavianib University College London; London Business School This paper studies the role of economic policy for the transition from analogue to digital television, with particular attention to the switch off of the analogue terrestrial signal. The analogue signal cannot be credibly switched off until almost all viewers have migrated to digital, due to universality of access to television. But before switch off, only part of the population can be reached with the digital signal. In addition, those who are reached need to spend more to upgrade their reception equipment than after switch off, because the capacity to increase the power of the digital signal will be made available only then. After reviewing the competitive structure and the role of government intervention in television markets, we present the early experience of a number of industrialised countries in the transition to digital television. We then formulate a micro-econometric model of digital television adoption by individual viewers. The model is calibrated to UK data and simulated to predict the impact of government policies on the take up of digital television. Policy makers can affect the speed of take up of digital television by: (i) controlling the quality of the signals and the content of public service broadcasters; (ii) intervening in the market for digital equipment with subsidies; and (iii) publicising the conditions and date of switch off of the analogue signal. We find that if the analogue terrestrial signal is switched off conditionally on aggregate adoption, strategic delays possibly arise and expectations affect the success of the switch off policy.

DVB-T Transmissions – Interference with Adjacent-Channel PAL Services
DVB-T DVB-T transmissions – interference with adjacent-channel PAL services R. Poole BBC Research & Development In the UK, many of the new digital television (DVB-T) services are broadcast in adjacent channels to existing PAL services. There have been reports of PAL reception suffering as a result, possibly because the maximum DVB-T sideband levels have been incorrectly specified. This article describes how to calculate the PAL picture impairment arising from the presence of DVB-T sidebands. It also compares the calculated predictions with experimental data. The conclusion is that the sideband specification is correct: critical viewers would just notice worst-case interference. However, it is possible to misinterpret the specification. An allowance must be made for the difference in effective radiated powers between the DVB-T and PAL transmissions. An example is given of how a mistake could be made. Introduction There have been reports that some of the new digital television transmissions have been caus- ing interference to existing PAL services in adjacent channels. Such interference could result from three possible mechanisms: inadequate adjacent-channel selectivity of the PAL television receivers; overloading of the receivers caused by the additional signals; generation of spurious sidebands within the DVB-T transmitters themselves. Work has already been carried out on the adjacent-channel performance of domestic PAL receivers: BBC R&D, for example, has carried out practical tests on receivers which were reported in an internal technical note (these tests are referred to at several points in this arti- cle). If the interfering DVB-T signal is “clean” or “ideal”, interference only becomes visible when its level exceeds that of the PAL signal.
