Editorial Review
Written as an authoritative introduction, this text describes the technology of digital television broadcasting. It gives a thorough technical description of the underlying principles of the DVB standard following the logical progression of signal processing steps, as well as COFDM modulation, source and channel coding, MPEG compression and multiplexing methods, conditional access and set-top box technology. If you are looking for a concise technical `briefing' that will quickly get you up to speed with the subject without getting lost in the detail - this is the book you need.

After an overview of analogue TV systems and video digitization formats, the author then examines the various steps of signal processing - taken in order from transmission to reception - to facilitate an understanding of the architecture and function of the main blocks of the Integrated Receiver/Decoder (IRD) or "set-top" box. Herve Benoit focuses attention on the very complex problems that need to be solved in order to define reliable standards for broadcasting digital pictures to the consumer and gives solutions chosen for the current DVB system.

* Enhance your knowledge of digital television with this authoritative technical introduction

* Learn the underlying principles of DVB standard, COFDM modulation, compression, multiplexing, conditional access and set-top box technology

*A concise technical 'briefing' that brings you up to speed with the subject.

Not a bible

2004-04-28
This book is not a bible on any topic related to digital TV. It's more of a synopsis that briefly discusses what's involved in encoding, transmitted, receiving, and decoding digital signals, with an emphasis on the standards being used in Europe.

I recommend this book for engineers new to the field of digital TV; but once you have an overall idea of how a digital system works, I recommend getting something more specific to your area. This book does not have any formulas or walk-through examples.

To quote the author from the preface, "This book does not aim to make the reader an expert in digital television... The main goal is to enable readers to understand the principles of this new technology, to have a relatively global perspective on it, and...to investigate further any particular aspect by reading more specialized and more detailed books."

Excellent overview for beginners, useful tables for experts. 2000-02-14
Comprehensive, contains all the important diagrammes and thumb rules. I recommend this book to the novice as well as to experts. Readers who are familiar with signal processing and digital communication issues will find this book very interesting and a good source of knowledge; and those who are already DVB professionals will regard it as an excellent conclusion with all the important and useful numbers, tables, and diagrams.

Very impressive, laconic, and comprehensive explanation. 1999-08-23
Easy to read, with all the necessary diagrammes and illustrations, this book is a formidable source of information for everyone - from a novice (like me) to a to-be-professional. Without hiding the complexity of digital television, the author makes a systematic review of the situation. No stupid remarks, no empty words. Just facts and real advice. Excellent!

An Excellent introduction to the european DVB system 1999-04-08
This book is an excellent overview of the system perspective of a DVB system (satellite, cable. or terestrial). It includes a good discussion on MPEG-2 and transport and program streams.
