Editorial Reviews
Review
The title sounds promising and - to say the least - it lives up to its promises.,EESI, This is an excellent book for the more practised and competent video engineers who need to extend their knowledge from analogue to digital broadcasting... the complex technology... is put across in a clear and concise manner.,Electrical and Electronic Service Informer, Those seeking a capability and fluency in the many concepts and mechanisms of MPEG and DVB standards would do well to investigate this book... goes a long way towards encapsulating in one handy and inexpensive volume much that is essential to a broad appreciation of this important and still developing technology.,The Institution of Electrical Engineers, -- Review --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Written as an authoritative introduction, this text describes the technology of digital television broadcasting. It gives a thorough technical description of the underlying principles of the DVB standard following the logical progression of signal processing steps, as well as COFDM modulation, source and channel coding, MPEG compression and multiplexing methods, conditional access and set-top box technology. If you are looking for a concise technical `briefing' that will quickly get you up to speed with the subject without getting lost in the detail – this is the book you need.
After an overview of analogue TV systems and video digitization formats, the author then examines the various steps of signal processing - taken in order from transmission to reception - to facilitate an understanding of the architecture and function of the main blocks of the Integrated Receiver/Decoder (IRD) or "set-top" box. Herve Benoit focuses attention on the very complex problems that need to be solved in order to define reliable standards for broadcasting digital pictures to the consumer and gives solutions chosen for the current DVB system.
* Enhance your knowledge of digital television with this authoritative technical introduction
* Learn the underlying principles of DVB standard, COFDM modulation, compression, multiplexing, conditional access and set-top box technology
*A concise technical 'briefing' that brings you up to speed with the subject.
