Introduction to the Engineering Sessions
One “Dog-Year” LaterOne “Dog-Year” Later
Jim KutznerJim KutznerPBSPBS
ATSC Top-Down Meetings
> In 1998, the ATSC formed a very large ad-hoc group of industry experts including vendors, users, consultants
> They were brought together to figure out how to build DTV plants, both stations and networks
> The results pointed to the need for new equipment, new interfaces, and new standards
Engineering Sessions
> We borrowed the Top-Down idea to frame this year’s conference
> We generated a simple block diagram and then sought to address all the elements
> Every paper had to fit the block and address one of three issues
How we developed this year’s agenda> We took your feedback from last year> We worked with the Technology Committee
to address today’s leading issues> We reviewed the many submissions and
picked those that fit the criteria
Major Themes this year
> Infrastructure> What do you need to know now
as you plan your station’s development?> Approaches to Master Control
> Ennes Conference on Saturday> Nagging and “Other” Issues
> Audio in DTV, DTV Transmission & Reception
Technology Presentations & Case Studies> The presentations include technology
discussions such as IP infrastructure and tapeless operation
> The case studies dig deeper into:> DTV Transmission> Archive management> Broadcast File Delivery: PBS’ MOC> ACE Implementation
