Experiments of digital recording for high definition television signals.

Experiments in Digital Television

Television has been around for many decades now and has become ubiquitous. Analog TV technology, however, which was developed before the 1940’s, has remained essentially the same over the last 50 years. Alternative digital transmission standards have been developed recently and are in use for satellite and cable transmissions. This technology is now being deployed for terrestrial TV as well. Th...

High-definition television and telemetry.

In March 1998, WFAA-TV in Dallas became the first television station in the United States to venture into the future of digital broadcasting. But as the broadcast signal went into the airwaves, medical telemetry units on the 13th floor at nearby Webb Roberts Hospital at Baylor University Medical Center went blank. It was 24 hours before engineers at the television station and Baylor put 2 and 2...

Signal Processing for High-Definition Television

This thesis presents new design techniques for source coding of video signals. The main application is high-definition television (HDTV), characterized by roughly twice the vertical and horizontal resolution of current systems; aggressive source coding is required to compress the large amount of video information into the relatively narrow channels envisioned for the new service. Video source c...

Using a commodity high-definition television for collaborative structural biology

Visualization of protein structures using stereoscopic systems is frequently needed by structural biologists working to understand a protein's structure-function relationships. Often several scientists are working as a team and need simultaneous interaction with each other and the graphics representations. Most existing molecular visualization tools support single-user tasks, which are not suit...
