SBE53 - October 13 - 6:30 PM - ZOOM Info Below

NextGen Television - State of the Standard"

Our next meeting will be at the normal time- 6:30 PM.

This month’s SBE Meeting will feature a presentation brought to you by our SBE53 members and Aaron Wider of Heartland Video Systems (HVS).

The first portion will be a brief overview of the basics of NextGen Television (ATSC 3) and what equipment is needed to make the magic happen. In this section I will also touch on what makes ATSC 3 different and go into the extensibility of the modulation and how we can make changes to it for different purposes. I will also briefly touch on the differences between LDM and TDM and how extra bandwidth in 3.0 can be sold off for datacasting or used for other purposes.

Then we will be going over the current features rolled out in ATSC 3. The features we will be discussing are HDR and its uses as well as a little background on what it is and why it is being used now and not in the past. I will be discussing the most common versions of it and what it will do for your picture. Then we will go over Broadcast Apps and all of the fun and neat features packed into channels. We will briefly talk about Dolby Atmos and what that does for your audio as well as how we can do more with AC-4 vs the AC-3 in ATSC 1. I will give a solid overview on BEST/virtual channels and how those can be used to spin up extra services without sacrificing extra space in your OTA pipe. Then for the last part of this section we will be discussing the 3.0 statmux and how it works and why it is different from the 1.0 statmux, and how it is extremely valuable to get the most out of your available bitrate.

In the final section of my presentation I will be going over concepts like datacasting, dynamic ad insertion, app based services, and high framerate content. Since a lot of broadcasters really like the sound of DAI we will be going over that with a bit more detail than the other topics in this section but they will all get a good share of the time. Lastly it will finish going over where we get all of this testing done and I will go over our interop events where we do a lot of the testing for these various bits of technology.

Please mark on your calenders to join us for this special presentation.

All are welcome to attend.
