DVB - Digital Television Technology documents the technical framework of digital television. Ulrich Reimers, head of development for the industry-led international DVB project, and his team of authors describe the technologies of digital television from the perspective of those who have driven their development and standardization. This 3rd edition builds on the previous editions from the 1990s, which already covered audio and video transmission techniques for digital television, including the associated channel coding and digital modulation for individual applications, JPEG and MPEG standards, system level, multiplexing, and measurement technology. New in this edition are the chapters on data broadcasting, standards for interactive services, and the Multimedia Home Platform (MHP). More comprehensive updates have been made in the introduction.
