Description
Digital TV Over Broadband: Harvesting Bandwith offers a clear overview of how technological developments are revolutionizing television.
It details the recent shift in focus from HDTV to a more broadly defined DTV and to the increasing importance of webcasting for interactive
television. Digital Television examines the recent industry toward a combination of digital services, including the use of the new bandwidth
for additional channels of programming, as well as some high definition television. The book discusses the increasingly rapid convergence
of telecommunications, television and computers and the important role of the web in the future of interactive programming. This new
edition not only covers the new technology, but also demonstrates practical uses of the technology in business models.
Audience
Professional broadcasters interested in new technology and its applications; Students in mass communications and broadcasting.
