Understanding DVB-H

View course dates

Course Duration: 2 days

Course Code: PWS100

Course Description:

This 2-day course provides a technical understanding of how modern television services can be delivered to mobile devices. These devices might be mobile telephones, PDAs or Lap-top PCs. To appreciate the different potential services an understanding of Digital Video Broadcasting techniques and encoding is required. Making services mobile brings its own problems that need to be solved with innovative engineering solutions. Different kinds of video and TV service can be offered through mobile devices and the service must be designed to deliver service when and where required.

 

This course is designed for delegates who need an introduction to all of the aspects of the technology, equipment and network architectures that are being utilised to provide these services. The course also provides a comparison with some other broadcast technologies to expose the competitive pressures that drive the technology specifications.

 

When you have completed this course you will be able to:

 

- Describe the delivery of Digital Video Broadcasting to Hand-held devices (DVB-H)

- Appreciate how very low bit rate Video is encoded
- Select appropriate encoding and delivery standards
- Appreciate mechanisms for error reduction and control
- Appreciate the trend in the technologies

Prerequisites:

Prior knowledge of IPTV systems will be assumed such as that obtained from the 2-day Introduction to IPTV Broadcasting Systems course. Prior knowledge of mobile network technology is also helpful.
