About the Book

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.

Table of Contents:
Preface Acknowledgements Introduction 1.Colour television: a review of current standards Monochrome TV basics Black and white compatible colour systems 2.Digitization of video signals Why digitize video signals Digitization formats Transport problems 3. Source coding: compression of video and audio signals Some general data compression principles Compression applied to images: the discreet cosine transform (DCT) Compression of fixed pictures Compression of moving pictures (MPEG) Compression of audio signals 4. Source multiplexing Organization of the MPEG-1 multiplex: system layer Organization of the MPEG-2 multiplex: program and transport streams 5. Scrambling and conditional access Principles of the scrambling system in the DVB standard Conditional access mechanisms Main conditional access systems 6.
