We introduce a high-definition three-dimensional television (3DTV) broadcasting system that is fully compatible with the existing transmission system of high-definition television (HDTV). Specifically, we developed high-definition 3DTV broadcasting subsystems including a 3DTV camera, 3DTV video multiplexer and demultiplexer, 3DTV receiver, and 3DTV outdoor broadcast van. To verify the developed subsystems, we performed experimental services of 3DTV broadcasting during the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan. According to our subjective evaluation test, 88% of 273 viewers rated the perceived depth of 3DTV as “Good,” and 36% of the viewers preferred 3DTV to other digital broadcasting services.

This paper introduces the world's first programmable video-processing platform for the enhancement of the video quality of the 8K(7680x4320) UHD(Ultra High Definition) TV operating up to 60 frames per second. In order to support required computing capacity and memory bandwidth, the proposed platform implemented several key features such as symmetric multi-cluster architecture for parallel data processing, a ring-data path between the clusters for data pipelining and hardware accelerators for computing filter operations. The proposed platform based on RP(Reconfigurable Processor) processes video quality enhancement algorithms and handles effectively new UHD broadcasting standards and display panels.

Ultra-High Definition Television (U-HDTV) is a promising candidate for the next generation television. Since the U-HDTV video signal requires a huge amount of data, parallel implementation of the U-HDTV compression system is highly demanding. In the conventional parallel video codec, a video is divided into sub-sequences and the sub-sequences are independently encoded. In this paper, for efficient parallel processing, we propose a pipelined encoding structure which exploits cross-correlation among the sub-sequences. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed technique improves the coding efficiency and provides the sub-sequences of the balanced visual quality.

This paper proposes an image display system that reduces the core performance of the processor allocated in the image display, thereby enabling the use of a less expensive processor with a low performance. Essentially, the proposed system supports an image display function for a high resolution in the module of an electronic picture frame (EPF) using a low-performance processor based on converting high definition (HD) image data at a 15Hz frame rate into HD image data at a 60Hz frame rate for use in a digital TV system. As a result, the proposed system can reduce the processor performance to a level corresponding to an image display with a low frame rate, thereby reducing the product cost and allowing various additional functions. Finally, the proposed system is implemented to confirm effectiveness.

In this paper, the design process and method for a compact wideband loop antenna for terrestrial digital TV (DTV) and ultra high definition (UHD) TV applications was proposed. Horizontal slits were added on the two circular sectors of the proposed loop antenna in order to miniaturize the existing wideband loop antenna consisting of a square loop and two circular sectors. A CPW transmission line was inserted in the center of the lower circular sector as a feed line. The CPW feed line was designed using the 75 ohm port impedance for DTV and UHD TV applications, and a tapered center-signal line was designed to improve the impedance matching. The final designed antenna was fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a thickness of 0.8 mm. The experiment results show that the proposed compact loop antenna operates in the frequency band of 444.3-820.1 MHz for a VSWR < 2, which fully covers the DTV and UHD TV bands.

In recent, the rapid convergence of telecommunication and broadcasting has been considered as one of the hot issues in the IT industry. This convergence will provide telecom operators with both opportunities and threatens. This is because that telecom operators can enter the broadcasting industry, whereas broadcasters will also have a chance to provide telecom services. This work aims to discuss the business strategy for telecom operators to provide a TV VOD service, one of the convergence services between telecommunication and broadcasting, through the high-speed internet which is so much served in Korea. It seems that this service will achieve two business goals, namely "to minimise an additional investment" and "to find out a new benefit source", by fully utilising a current high-speed internet infrastructure. Finally, this paper mainly contains the market overview of in telecom and broadcasting service, the definition of TV VOD service and the necessity for this service, a market forecasting and the provision strategy of major telecom operators, and key success factors and a benefit model.

Passive optical networks (PONs) are the emerging solution for access networks since PONs provide high bandwidth. TDM ((time-division multiplexing) PON cannot support sufficient bandwidth for new broadband services such as UHD (ultra high-definition) IP TV, and VOD (video on demand). The solution is TWDM PON which is a mixture of WDM (wavelength-division multiplexing) and TDM. This paper proposes a new MAC (media access control) protocol for TWDM PON.

In accordance with 4K UHD(Ultra High Definition) LCD television's higher resolution and data expansion, LCD TV had to face problems such as increasing numbers of cables and tangible skews problems among cables. The V-by-One HS is a new interface technology in the path between the image processing IC and timing control (TCON) board. The variable speed from 600 Mbps to 3.75 Gbps effectively meets the requirements of various different pixel rates. In this paper, we use the V-by-One HS interface to illustrate our proposed simulation method of frequency resonance mode and PCB design approach to model the effects of signal integrity for high speed video signal using an IBIS models.
