As a digital TV has outstanding features of being the most influential device in the living room and having the wide spectrum of users, several internet services has been ported on the digital TV platform (in the form of data services) in order to enhance their brand powers. Most of the services, however, failed to get a satisfactory results as the data services are defeated by the broadcasting contents in the competition for the viewer's interests. In the paper, the design guidelines that make data services not to compete with the broadcasting contents are proposed and a prototype of a data service that accommodates the guidelines is introduced.

Current paper introduces the multimedia functional module and related interface development for digital TV. The module is developed for displaying the image captured by digital still camera, camcorder, or PC in the digital TV. For these purposes, the module has the interface circuit for accessing five media type of memory cards. It decodes JPEG, BMP, or TIFF image date saved in the memory card and converts the image data to analog RGB signal. It also supports three types of output image size from HD(High Definition) to WXGA(Wide Extended Graphics Array) resolution. So the introduced module could be adopted in all kinds of digital TV set.

Through reviewing the characteristics of digital TVs, which have emerged in CES since 2005, in the view of technology growth and substitution curves, this paper is to provide a prediction on the next generation's multi-media on smart environment. As a result, digital TV has been developed on the flow of its technology growth curve from the early version in 2005 to smart digital TV in 2013, which emphasizes the key word "connected", and it has already come to the market puberty. Also, as it has the characteristics such as supporting multi functional and multi media environments and introducing curved or flexible display, the digital TV in CES 2013 has reached in introductory stage on the technology substitution curve.

In digital TV broadcasting, such as terrestrial, cable, satellite, and IPTV, the head-end of digital TV broadcasting has a more complicated transmission structure than that of analog TV broadcasting. Furthermore, digital TV broadcasting has a feature that supports multiplex models, such as Multiple Program Transport Stream (MPTS). Therefore, the purpose of our work was to design and examine a more efficient new system of emergency alert message transmission to support the digital TV broadcasting environments. Digital TV broadcasting is the IP generation or RF transmission of 8-VSB, QAM, and QPSK modulated through a multiplexer or re-multiplexer multiplexed stream as a MPEG-2 Transport Stream after content encoding. The new system proposed in this paper transmits an emergency alert message without scrambling after replacing the PID and payload of the -packet with the message prototype in the TS stream from the multiplexer. If we need to transmit an emergency alert message under digital TV broadcasting services, then the receiver first checks the PID of each packet in the TS stream for the emergency alert message. Next, if a packet is determined to be an emergency alert message, then the set-top box displays the message on the TV screen using its function of On Screen Display, or the PC based software displays the message on the monitor screen using its function of overlay with user interface if the packet is found to be an emergency alert message. We have designed an emergency alert message protocol and a system model. By experiments and analysis of the system, we concluded that the system achieved efficiency and the ability to send and receive emergency alert messages using the system under different digital TV broadcasting service environments.

Significant changes have taken plane in the broadcasting environment as a result of digitalization the emergence of digital television and the convergence of broadcasting and telecommunication. Using input-output analysis this paper analyzes the value of economic effect of digital television in Korea The empirical result shows that total production is expected to increase about 252 trillion Won for the period of 1999-2010.

Digital TV tuner for 8-VSB modulation was developed with satisfying the requirements of ATSC. Double frequency conversion and active tracking filter was used in order to suppress IF beat and image band, which results in reducing the interference between adjacent channels and multi-channels. The implemented digital TV tuner has excellent performance such as the wide dynamic range, good flatness in passing band, and low phase noise. The developed tuner is available to handle the digital and analogue television signal at the same time.

After analog broadcast changed to digital, the dynamic range of the broadcast audio became wider. As there are no regulation for digital broadcast audio level, the audio level of digital TV is gradually increasing, and this phenomenon is getting more serious. because of competition between broadcasters and programmes. To solve this problem, ITU-R legislated technical recommendations for digital TV audio level. In this paper, the audio levels of domestic TV channels are measured according to the algorithm of the ITU-R, and analyzed management method is suggested.

Recently, with the development of information and communication technology, digital pay-TV technology is paid attention. So the Protection of the provided contents is becoming more important. However, in order to encourage an active based on digital TV, the contents and information sent and received respectively by the broadcaster and the subscriber must be protected. Therefore, in this paper, I analyze the requirements to protect the digital contents, the security and efficiency of the previous digital pay-TV system model. Then I proposed a key management model for digital pay-TV system.

We investigate the dynamic relationships among digital piracy activities, TV ratings, and online buzz for Korean TV dramas using a panel vector autoregression model. Our main findings include 1) TV ratings are negatively affected by digital piracy activities but positively affected by google buzz, 2) digital piracy activities are negatively affected by TV ratings and social buzz, and 3) social buzz and google buzz are positively influenced by each other. While many empirical studies were conducted to reveal the effects of music or movie piracy, our understanding of drama piracy is limited. We provide empirical evidence of the dynamic relationships between drama piracy, TV ratings, and online buzz. Our findings show the presence of indirect piracy effects on TV ratings through online buzz. Further, we reveal that social buzz and google trends play different roles in promoting TV ratings and piracy activities. We discuss the implications of our findings for theory and practitioners.

All the while due to the adoption of different TV broadcasting standards by South and North Korea, difficulties may ensue when promoting media exchange or media liberalization. Among the many media areas this paper compared the ground-wave TV broadcasting and digital TV broadcasting environments of South and North Korea, and analyzed the rapidly developing field of digital TV broadcasting technology. Afterwards, this paper offers several measures to resolve the difference in the South and North broadcasting standards. Through this paper, there is hope for joint development of South and North TV broadcasting technologies.
