As a nation, we have good reason to be proud of our historical record of creativity in the sound record- ing arts and sciences. However, our collective energy in creating and consum- ing sound recordings in all genres has not been matched by an equal level of interest, over the same period of time, in preserving them for posterity. During the closing years of the twentieth century, the Library of Congress staff began collecting an increasing amount of disturbing anecdotal evidence on a number of problem areas affecting the survival and preservation of sound recordings produced in America since the nineteenth century. That evidence resulted, in part, from the Library’s own efforts over more than 85 years to build and maintain a nationally representative recorded

In this concise yet detailed guide, you will learn about the standards that apply to fixed-line and mobile digital television, as well as the underlying principles involved, such as signal analysis, modulation techniques, and source and channel coding. The digital television standards, including the MPEG family, ATSC, DVB, ISDTV, DTMB, and ISDB, are presented toaid understanding ofnew systems in the market and reveal the variations between different systems used throughout the world. Discussions of source and channel coding then provide the essential knowledge needed for designing reliable new systems.Throughout the book the theory is supported by over 200 figures and tables, whilst an extensive glossary defines practical terminology.Additional background features, including Fourier analysis, probability and stochastic processes, tables of Fourier and Hilbert transforms, and radiofrequency tables, are presented in the book’s useful appendices. This is an ideal reference for practitioners in the field of digital television. It will alsoappeal tograduate students and researchers in electrical engineering and computer science, and can be used as a textbook for graduate courses on digital television systems. Marcelo S.

  • The Epic Guide to Branded Video “There's Always Room for a Story That Can Transport People to Another Place.”
    The Epic Guide to Branded Video “There's always room for a story that can transport people to another place.” J.K. Rowling Foreword Jerrid Grimm Co-Founder & CEO, Pressboard Our sincerest thanks to The power of video is undeniable. The combination of sight and sound evokes emotional responses difficult to replicate through any other format. A story told through video can make people burst into laughter or shed tears of sadness. Video transports the viewer to another place, another time — and with advances in virtual reality it’s even possible to see the world through someone else’s eyes.​ What video is not, by any means, is easy. Fraught with challenges in production, distribution and measurement, video is one of the most resource-heavy creative processes out there. As brands move from making one or two TV commercials a year to creating weekly or even daily video for social media, these challenges grow exponentially.​ Pressboard is a story marketplace. We make it easy for brands to collaborate with hundreds of media publishers on video content — instead of ads. In that same collaborative spirit, we created this guide to combine the wisdom of the greatest video minds in the world and turn those insights into actionable advice that marketers, publishers, creators and technologists can all apply to their own brands. We cannot wait to see the stories that you will tell.​ 3 Foreword Mark Greenspan Chief Influencer, influenceTHIS Founding Members In an effort to support the growth of the branded content industry in Canada we have partnered with Pressboard to distribute this report to marketers, advertisers, influencer networks and creators.
