The only single, comprehensive textbook on all aspects of digital
television
The next few years will see a major revolution in the technology
used to deliver television services as the world moves from analog
to digital television. Presently, all existing textbooks dealing
with analog television standards (NTSC and PAL) are becoming
obsolete as the prevalence of digital technology continues to
become more widespread. Now, Digital Television: Technology and
Standards fills the need for a single, authoritative textbook that
covers all aspects of digital television technology.
Divided into three main sections, Digital Television
explores:
* Video: MPEG-2, which is at the heart of all digital video
broadcasting services
* Audio: MPEG-2 Advanced Audio Coding and Dolby AC-3, which will be
used internationally in digital video broadcasting systems
* Systems: MPEG, modulation transmission, forward error correction,
datacasting, conditional access, and digital storage media command
and control
Complete with tables, illustrations, and figures, this valuable
textbook includes problems and laboratories at the end of each
chapter and also offers a number of exercises that allow students
to implement the various techniques discussed using MATLAB. The
authors’ coverage of implementation and theory makes this a
practical reference for professionals, as well as an indispensable
textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduate-level students in
electrical engineering and computer science programs.
