Mastering Digital Television

Mastering Digital Television examines the technology of DTV, with particular emphasis on the system documented by the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC). Within the practical constraints of limited pages in a printed book, it is impossible to cover the other digital television systems in common use—DVB and ISDB. Rather than provide a surface treatment of all systems, the author chose to focus on one, and to then examine it in detail. In this book the underlying technology of DTV is examined and implementation issues are addressed. New developmental efforts also are explained and the benefits of the work are outlined.
