DESCRIPTION:
Making digital and interactive television work depends up on the ATSC’s new PSIP standard. This book, written by one of the standard’s primary architects, annotates and explains the complex standard document, breaking it down into practical, usable checklists and methods for broadcast, cable, satellite, and product design.
The only technical guide that offers comprehensive coverage of the standard that you must implement successfully to make digital and interactive TV devices work, this book helps you:* Understand PSIP information, with clear run-throughs on complexities in data representation, tables, and descriptors* Save design time with guidelines, considerations, requirements, and checklists* Design cable-ready devices and use navigation data delivered on the out-of-band channel* Answer questions on PSIP expandability, from reserved fields to private data and collision avoidance* Understand how the “V-chip” system works in digital television* Comply with emergency alert system standards and meet EAS requirements* Get a better grasp on PSIP with information on the standard’s background and an insider’s history of reasons technical choices were made* Look up needed facts in the complete ATSC A/65 standardThe Broad
Adam Goldberg said A comprehensive and readable reference work. This book, written by one of the primary authors of PSIP, is a comprehensive look at what PSIP is, what the information carred by PSIP is, and how to use it.There are very few books available that explain in detail the standards and specifications for the ATSC digital television system. This is one of the best, taking on one of the most complicated and confusing topics.Anyone involved in digital television, including broadcasters, programmers, PC and receiver designers, technology journalists, etc., should have a copy of this book on his/her shelf.. A Customer said PSIP for the rest of us. A few people usually participate in the development of complicated systems standards. A few more learn directly from the standard. Most of us rely on books to understand what's really behind a standard like PSIP. Mark Eyer does a fantastic job explaining what PSIP is about and what it means for the digital television industry. PSIP is critical to making digital broadcast television work for consumers, and Mark's book wraps it up in a highly readable, complete package.. Excellent piece of work AZ The 13818 and the accompanying ATSC and DVB specs are powerful, flexible, inclusive, and incomprehensible. Mr. Eyer does a fantastic job of deciphering the important information and even provides sample streams which are more useful than any diagrams when you're sitting in front of a scope. Highly recommended if you are working with ATSC SI information -- engineers and technical managers alike.
. Since 1994, Mr. Eyer chairs the ATSC T3/S38 Transport Specialists group, works with various SCTE, ATSC, and EIA/CEA standards committees, and contributes systems engineering expertise to the development of Sony's digital television and cable set-top box products. He became involved in digital interconnection standards in 1997, and co-chaired the committees in EIA/CEA that cr
