The goal of the course is to provide in-depth knowledge of modern DTV implementation and deployment practices. Core focus area is to understand actual middleware and DTV application technologies, which provide environment for execution of full scope of interactive applications. Specific topics also include modern aspects of non-linear television, such as IPTV, Internet TV, Social TV and second screen paradigms. Practical work would include software development for actual DVB-T2 set-top box devices, utilizing actual middleware software stacks and modern operating systems (such as Android).
During the course students will gain knowledge of modern DTV implementation and deployment practices, with focus at middleware and DTV application technologies, non-linear television, IPTV, Internet TV, Social TV and second screen paradigms. Through practical work students will learn to develop software for actual DVB-T2 set-top box devices, utilizing actual middleware software stacks and Android.
