New Delhi, 1970 Note by the Director, C.C.I.R. Subsequent to the publication of Addendum No. 1 to Volume V (Broadcasting service (sound and television), Transmission of sound broadcasting and television signals over long distances) of the documents of the Xllth Plenary Assembly of the C.C.I.R., new texts relating to the transmission of sound broadcasting and television signals over long distances have been submitted for adoption by correspondence, in conformity with the provisions of No. 190 of the International Telecommunication Convention, Montreux, 1965. These have received more than the twenty approvals necessary for their adoption by the Members of the I.T.U. and have therefore become official Questions of the C.C.I.R. These texts, which should be included in Part 2, are: — Question lOjCMTT, which is reproduced on a separate sheet numbered 317-1 a. — Question lljCMTT, which is reproduced on a separate sheet numbered 318. Advantage has been taken of the issue of this Addendum to notify the following correction to Volume V: Part 1 Page 226, § 6.2, last line: Replace “(40 ± 10)%” by “36% to 44%”. — 166 a — QUESTION 25/11* STANDARDS FOR TELEVISION SYSTEMS USING DIGITAL MODULATION (1972) The C.C.I.R., CONSIDERING (a) that the C.C.I.T.T. are studying the transmission standards to be used on future digitally coded television systems; (b) that, in view of the development of digital methods of processing, transmitting and record­ ing signals, it is possible that these techniques will be widely used in television; (c) that, to facilitate international exchanges of programmes and to rationalize the design of equipment, it would be desirable to standardize as far as possible the methods used for the digital coding of television signals; ' (d) that digital signal processing, if used in television studios, could lead to improved reliability and performance; decides that the following question should be studied: 1. what methods should be used for the digital coding of picture signals and the associated sound signals, and what would be the resulting advantages: — inside the studio complex, including the recording of television signals; — in the transmission of television signals on terrestrial channels Using digital modulation; — in the transmission of television signals on satellite channels; — in direct broadcasting from satellites; 2. is there a single method of digital coding which would be suitable for all the uses described in § 1; 3. what digital standards should be recommended for the applications mentioned in § 1; 4. what is the simplest and most effective technique for monitoring digitally coded television and associated sound signals? * This Question is identical with Question 10/CMTT. Addendum No. 2 to Volume V, part 2, Xllth P.A. of the C.C.I.R., New Delhi, 1970 - 3 1 7 - l a — QUESTION 10/CMTT STANDARDS FOR TELEVISION SYSTEMS USING DIGITAL MODULATION (1972) ' The C.C.I.R., CONSIDERING (a) that the C.C.I.T.T. are studying the transmission standards to be used on future digitally coded television systems; (b) that, in view of the development of digital methods of processing, transmitting and record­ ing signals, it is possible that these techniques will be widely used in television; (c) that, to facilitate international exchanges of programmes and to rationalize the design of equipment, it would be desirable to standardize as far as possible the methods used for the digital coding of television signals; (d) that digital signal processing, if used in television studios, could lead to improved reliability and performance; decides that the following question should be studied: 1. what methods should be used for the digital coding of picture signals and the associated sound signals, and what'would be the resulting advantages : — inside the studio complex, including the recording of television signals; — in the transmission of television signals on terrestrial channels using digital modulation; — in the transmission of television signals on satellite channels; — in direct broadcasting from satellites; 2. is there a single method of digital coding which would be suitable for all the uses described in § 1; 3. what digital standards should be recommended for the applications mentioned in § 1; 4. what is the simplest and most effective technique for monitoring digitally coded television and associated sound signals? Note by the Secretariat. — During the final meetings of Study Groups 10, 11 and the CMTT (Geneva, 1974), it would be highly desirable to modify the text of this Question so that Study Programme 10A/CMTT could be considered as being entirely derived from it (both as regards that part concerning television and that part concerning sound broadcasting). Addendum No. 2 to Volume V, part 2, Xllth P.A. of the C.C.I.R., New Delhi, 1970 — 318 — QUESTION 11/CMTT PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF 5 kHz-TYPE SOUND PROGRAMME CIRCUITS (1972) The C.C.I.R., CONSIDERING (a) that, according to Opinion 41, the CMTT should study circuits with “a narrow bandwidth of about 100 Hz-5 kHz” (nominal bandwidth); (b) that new C.C.I.T.T. Recommendations J.23 and J.24 (provisional reference: C.C.I.T.T. White Book, Mar del Plata, 1968, Volume III, Recommendations J.31 and J.41 for normal sound programme circuits, type B, and for old-type sound programme circuits respectively) can only be applied to a limited degree to the circuits mentioned under (a) and thus should be replaced by an up-to-date comprehensive recommendation; decides that the following question should be studied: what should be the performance characteristics of a new type of sound programme circuit (designated by convention as “5 kHz-type sound programme circuit”) including the follow­ ing points: 1. definition of the hypothetical reference circuit; 2. nominal bandwidth and frequency band effectively transmitted; 3. permissible attenuation distortion; 4. permissible phase distortion; 5. permissible weighted and unweighted noise (with the definition of an appropriate weighting network); 6. permissible intelligible crosstalk; 7. permissible variation in relative level with time; 8. permissible non-linearity distortion; 9. permissible error on frequency reconstitution, etc.? Note 1. — Study Programme 5-1D-1/CMTT could be extended to include the effect of band­ width restriction. Note 2. — There may be two categories of use for such circuits, one for commentary purposes and the other also including transmission of music. If it seems advisable to recommend different characteristics for these two cases, this should be stated. Note 3. — Such circuits may be set up on carrier analogue systems and also on PCM systems; in the latter case, the permissible quantizing distortion should be stated. Note 4. — The CMTT should consider whether recommendations on intermodulation distortion should be given in addition to those on harmonic distortions. If so, how should the inter­ modulation distortion be measured?

Although one-way television signal distribution continues to be the primary application of cable television systems, the cable television network can be used for two-way data communications. Data communication places severe engineering demands on the performance of a cable television network. Therefore, to ensure that data communications capabilities are not precluded by poor engineering, local cable authorities and the cable industry must identify and overcome the technical barriers to the application of cable television networks to data communications. We identify the following as the primary technical requirements that remain to be addressed by the cable industry: - Methods for controlling the accumulation of insertion noise and ingress on upstreimr channels.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT Communications-FCC JURISDICTION-TELEVISION INTERFERENCE CAUSED BY CONSTRUCTION OF TALL BUILDINGS IN URBAN AREAS Illinois Citizens Committee for Broadcastingv. FCC, 467 F.2d 1397 (7th Cir. 1972) Television signals are electromagnetic waves which can be reflected or blocked, much like light waves.' In urban areas, transmis- sion towers normally are located to avoid the possibility of such interference. 2 They generally are placed on top of the tallest building in the area or on a hill, thereby extending the tower beyond the height of the area's tallest structure. The recent revival of vertical construc- tion in major cities3 has caused interference with pre-existing tower transmission facilities, 4 and this trend threatens to cause significant In urban areas tall buildings cause two types of broadcast interference problems---"shadowing" and "ghosting." "Shadowing" is the interference caused by a blockage of the signal.

  • Advanced Broadcast Media
    Introduction to Broadcast Media (Notes) Tutorial Cutting to the chase: Broadcast media is radio and television. Even amidst the pop culture dominance of the internet, broadcast media still commands the largest share of the advertising pie nationwide. Put the audio and visual media to work for you as your company earns larger market share, stronger branding, and increased sales. If you are looking for cost-efficient lead generation, you need to be looking at radio and television advertising. Not only are radio and television the main media for advertising today, they are continually developing new ways to reach their audience. The SyFy cable network launched a show (“Defiance”) that combines interactions on a video game with the plot of a series show. Radio stations are supplementing on-air campaigns with digital media to provide on-air and on-screen promotions to those who stream the station through their computer. Multiple studies have shown that combining radio and television can help advertisers reach audiences not achievable with only one medium or the other. Broadcast Media Broadcast television Cable television On-demand television TV/web integration Local, network, and national radio On-air endorsements Long-form programming Multi-language programming The Power of Radio Radio reaches more Americans than any other advertising media. As an example, let’s look at Los Angeles, CA. It is the #1 radio revenue market in the world and generates more than $1 billion dollars in sales each year. In that market alone, more than 9 million people listen to radio each week. People are loyal to radio and love listening to their favorite DJ or talk show host.

  • The All-Channel Television Receiver Law
    THE IMPACT OF UHF PROMOTION: THE ALL-CHANNEL TELEVISION RECEIVER LAW DouGLAS W. WEBBINK* INTRODUCTION The All-Channel Television Receiver Law1 was passed by Congress in the spring of 1962 at the request of the Federal Communications Commission and was signed into law by President Kennedy on July io,1962. This law gave the Federal Communications Commission the authority to require that all television receivers sold to the public should be capable of receiving all frequencies allocated for tele- vision use.' On November 21, 1962, using the authority given it by this law, the Federal Communications Commission ruled that after April 3o, 1964, "all TV receivers shipped in interstate commerce [must] be able to adequately receive UHF as well as VHF channels."3 As a consequence, the All-Channel Television Receiver Law required that after April 1964 all new television receivers would be all- channel receivers, and it made illegal the sale of new television receivers capable of receiving only very-high frequencies. Although this law has been in existence for eight years, almost no one has questioned the basic assumption that this law was "in the public interest." The purposes or goals of this law may be inferred by studying the hearings4 and the reports5 of the Congressional committees which held hearings on the law. There appear to have been several separate but related reasons given for the passage of the law. The law was expected to increase the number of new ultra-high frequency commercial and noncommercial television stations going on the air. The law could also be described as a piece of special-interest legislation whose pur- pose was to help existing ultra-high frequency stations which were making relatively small profits or outright losses.
