Educational goal:
The goal of the course is to provide fundamental knowledge of television. Core focus areas are broadcasting technologies in the DVB framework, reception equipment and software support for digital TV receivers. During the course students will also gain knowledge of video processing standards including conditional access. Practical work would include software development for actual DVB-T2 set-top box devices. By developing a realistic DTV application, students would fully understand all the phases of broadcasting, as well as presentation and control of all the components, including audio and video.
Educational outcome:
During the course students will gain knowledge of digital television, transport streams in the DVB framework, video processing standards including conditional access. Practical work would include software development for actual DVB-T2 set-top box devices. By developing a realistic DTV application, students would fully understand all the phases of broadcasting, as well as presentation and control of all the components, including audio and video.
