This paper presents some aspects related to the DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) investigation. The basic aspects of DVB are presented, with an emphasis on DVB-T version of standard. The main purpose of this research is to analyze the way that the transmission of the transport streams is realized in case of the Terrestrial Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB-T). To accomplish this, first, Digital V...

Scope: The book provides the most up-to-date introduction to digital video and television. The entire process is covered, from video production, to its delivery through broadcasting or streaming. Video acquisition, color theory and visual quality are presented. Video compression and broadcasting systems are overviewed. The latest trends in 3DTV and digital cinema production are also presented. ...

The Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) Project was founded in 1993 by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) with the goal of standardizing digital television services. Its initial standard for satellite delivery of digital television, dubbed DVB-S, used a concatenation of an outer (204,188) byte shortened Reed Solomon code and an inner constraint length 7, variable rate (r ra...

DVB-S2 is the second-generation specification for satellite broadcasting – developed by the DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) Project in 2003. It benefits from more recent developments in channel coding (LDPC codes) combined with a variety of modulation formats (QPSK, 8PSK, 16APSK and 32APSK). When used for interactive applications, such as Internet navigation, it may implement Adaptive Coding &...

In this paper, we will understand that the development of the Digital Video Broadcasting to a Handheld (DVB-H) standard makes it possible to deliver live broadcast television to a mobile handheld device. Building upon the strengths of the Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial (DVB-T) standard in use in millions of homes, DVB-H recognizes the trend towards the personal consumption of media.

In the past, digital transmission of video and audio has required a broader frequency bandwidth than analog transmission to transmit the same information. Recent progress in source coding technology for video and audio, however, has made it possible to reduce the bit rate while keeping the quality deterioration to a minimum. The frequency bandwidth required for digital transmission has conseque...

This paper introduces the Terrestrial Digital Video Broadcasting DVB-T, stating its innovative aspects and its major advantages for data broadcasting, particularly TV broadcasting. It also presents the experimental DVB-T network built up by Retevisión in the framework of the Spanish VIDITER project (Terrestrial Digital Video) and the European ACTS VALIDATE (Verification and launch of Integrated...

We propose a PC-based real-time software Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T) receiver, including hardware, driver, and software parts. The total data rate of DVB-T is much greater than that of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB). A more efficient signal processing algorithm than our previous software DAB receiver is necessary to improve the speed of the software part of the DVB-T receiv...
