Overview:
This seminar is an introduction to the HDTV signal processing environment and transmission system. The baseband serial HDTV system illustrates the tasks involved. National's products which support these systems are described together with design guidelines for the use of these products. The presentation begins with a brief introduction to the development of HDTV picture formats. It then proceeds to detail National's signal processing devices which perform parallel-to-serial data conversion and encoding, Serial Digital Video data transmission, signal recovery and equalization, signal routing and serial-to-parallel conversion and decoding. Devices and system issues are discussed with a focus on best-design practices to be observed when designing for such systems. Design checklists, design aids and application support resources are also covered.
