The BBC has deployed a sophisticated scheduling and automation system to support an increasing range of interactive television services while minimising operational costs. The British Broadcasting Corporation offers interactive services on eight public television channels on digital satellite, terrestrial and cable television in the UK, with national variations for the main channels in England,...

The development of multi-channel digital broadcasting has generated a demand not only for new services but also for smart and highly functional capabilities in all broadcast-related devices. This is especially true of the television receivers on the viewer's side. With the aim of achieving a friendly interface that anybody can use with ease, we built a prototype interface system that operates a...

Over the past several decades the cost of television time has increased substantially and congressional campaign spending has increased as well. This paper considers whether there is a causal relationship between these trends. Using the dramatic variation in advertising rates across congressional districts and over time, we assess the effect of higher television advertising rates on campaign sp...

This paper proposes and analyses an efficient wireless telecommunication system with multiple antennas to the emission and reception MIMO (multiple input multiple output) with space diversity in an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Di vision Multiplex). The proposed system consists to add modified Alamouti encoder to the system OFDM to improve the performance of the destination by intimately collabora...

Audio signal information with high quality would help the television audience to increase the perception of the information displayed. Transmission channel capacity will become limited, while the need of channel communication is increased. The research aim is coding the audio signal on the low bit rate for saving the channel communication usage for digital television broadcasting. The research ...

In this work, a real-time image-based camera tracking solution is developed for television broadcasting studio environments. An affordable vision-based system is proposed which can compete with expensive matchmoving systems. The system requires merely commodity hardware: a low cost RGB-D sensor and a standard laptop. The main contribution is avoiding time-evolving drift by tracking relative to ...
