Broadcasters and broadband
By Steven M. Blumenfeld
Many
chief engineers have been given the task of creating a Web presence.
Why? Because with a number of the decisions that are made regarding
its eventual implementation, it crosses the lines of station technology.
Not every station needs to have the ultimate 24-hour simul/streaming
site. Your station should have pertinent information for your community
and your viewers. Ask your marketing people to get you a breakdown of
your viewers. Then ask for a study of your viewership, their use of
the Internet and what types of Internet access they most likely use.
You might find that almost all of your viewers want weather information
and only have access to a 33.8 modem. You can’t run broadband streaming
over that. There is a dirty little secret that we in the broadband world
have been hiding for a good long time. The secret is that broadband
today is not so broad, there are no instructions hiding under the covers,
and there are no rules on how to make you a success on the network.

DVB-RCS:
Part 2, Designing the hardware
By Gerald M. Walker
At IBC2000, Nera (Norway) and EUTELSAT (France) announced a strategic
partnership for the development of broadband access via satellite. At
the core of the agreement is a contract to build a pilot satellite network
based on the new international open standard, DVB-RCS (Return Channel
over Satellite).
Approved this summer by the DVB Organization, the DVB-RCS standard estab lishes an open specification for a new generation of broadband satellite terminals. These terminals are capable of receiving digital TV and IP-data at bit rates up to 50Mb/s and can transmit up to 2Mb/s IP data via a satellite return channel. more

mic, while Imus works behind a dynamic. The two most visible radio hosts
in America embrace the two major families of today's air studio mics.

2 Noise: Digital Days
These days just about everything seems to be digital. Digital
is good. Digital is clean. Digital is compact. Digital shouldn't suffer
any of that nasty signal degradation like analog.

Regardless of how you feel about competing digital broadcast formats if you work with video you will have to start thinking and working in digital sooner or later. Odds are, if you're surfing this site and reading this piece, you already work in the digital domains. more
