A ROADMAP FOR IMPLEMENTING THE ATSC DATA BROADCAST STANDARD The ATSC Data Broadcast Standard provides the means to transform digital TV signals from plain vanilla audio/video to 57-flavor broadband digital data delivery, opening a universe of device and service possibilities. Authored by four of the standard’s lead writers -- Richard Chernock, Regis Crinon, Michael Dolan, and John R. Mick, Jr. -- Data Broadcasting is the first guide to the new ATSC standard. These experts help you: *Understand the concepts behind standard provisions for carrying any type of data over MPEG-2 data transport mechanisms *Implement the standard in real-world service creation and rollouts *Enable a new generation of set-top boxes, hand-held devices, and PC add-in cards for handling both data and streaming video *Configure stand-alone data injection and data injection associated with video and audio programs *Define the optimal transmittal method for any type of data *Resolve system architecture, receiver-reference design, data categorization, and encapsulation questions *Solve announcement, and discovery and binding mechanisms problems *Avoid implementation pitfalls with encapsulation examples, illustrated layering, and buffer models

A truly groundbreaking volume, this fully revised and updated edition of Data Broadcasting presents an exhaustive overview of the specific data broadcasting and bordering technologies concerned. Answering a wealth of questions, it describes this new technology in detail, examining how it differs from established technologies, and for what means it can be used. It also analyses data broadcasting from the perspectives of both the medium and business. * Features the latest developments in electronic media * Discusses the major media opportunities of data broadcasting * Shows how data broadcasting can overcome many notorious problems resulting from dense traffic on the Internet * Considers the technical implications of data broadcasting over different network infrastructures * Examines the process of developing and launching multimedia channels in a data broadcasting environment. Essential, up to date coverage for executives and developers in the telecommunications, software, hardware and media industries of the main commercial, editorial and technical opportunities of data broadcasting.

Broadcast Data Systems (1990) looks at the broadcasting technology of data transmission over TV and radio channels – commonly known as teletext and RDS. It describes the development of the technology, together with the data signal format and coding methods used, the networking of teletext data signals and regional services requirements, and the transmission of the data itself.

Broadcast television began in Japan in 1953. Since then the presence of television has continued to grow and TV broadcasts are the most familiar source of information for most people. This book compiles the fundamentals of digital broadcast, which has developed since the advent of text caption broadcasting in 1985, it also looks at other advanced technology including terestrial broadcast, satellite broadcast and CATV - cable television.

HDTV and the Transition to Digital Broadcasting bridges the gap between non-technical personnel (management and creative) and technical by giving you a working knowledge of digital television technology, a clear understanding of the challenges of HDTV and digital broadcasting, and a scope of the ramifications of HDTV in the consumer space. Topics include methodologies and issues in HD production and distribution, as well as HDTV's impact on the future of the media business. This book contains sidebars and system diagrams that illustrate examples of broadcaster implementation of HD and HD equipment. Additionally, future trends including the integration of broadcast engineering and IT, control and descriptive metadata, DTV interactivity and personalization are explored.

Operators are introducing mobile television and digital video content services globally. The Handbook of Mobile Broadcasting addresses all aspects of these services, providing a comprehensive reference on DVB-H, DMB, ISDB-T, and MediaFLO. Featuring contributions from experts in the field, the text presents technical standards and distribution proto
