Description:
This session will bring forth member experiences on HDTV over advanced networks. The first talk will be on 3D HDTV streaming activities in Korea over high-speed networks. The second talk will be the activities report on the HDTV streaming demonstration that will be done from UW/Seatle to Busan Marriot over the newly opened IEEAF and APII-2 G-H links.

 

Presentation Abstracts:

1. 3D HDTV over ATM
Abstract: This presentation describes an efficient method of delivering three-dimensional high-definition television(3D HDTV) contents over ATM. In this work, we focus on the problem of delivering compressed stereoscopic video signals over Korean Education Network(KOREN) synchronously. Prior to compression, the stereoscopic video signals are multiplexed in a single standard side-by-side video in real-time. Such preprocessing guarantees synchronization between the stereoscopic video signals as well as compatibility with an HDTV transmission system simultaneously.  Next, compressing the multiplexed video with MPEG-2 main-profile high-level (MP@HL) at 40Mbps, we deliver a single transport stream over KOREN from ETRI to ANC Busan. Finally decoding and de-multiplexing the transport stream with a 3D HDTV receiver, we project stereoscopic video signals on a 70 inch 3D HDTV display with polarization filters.

 
2. Broadcasting and High Bandwidth Network Applications
Abstract: This session will describe several experiments and demonstrations of high Bandwidth networking that enables the convergence of broadcasting and computing.  The experiments were developed at the University of Washington by the ResearchChannel and show what the very near future will bring.  Experiments have ranged from the 2000 National Association of Broadcasters demonstration of Streaming High Definition Television over Internet in the Sony NAB booth to our latest uncompressed HD transmission, featuring 1080/60i HD video at 1.5 Gigabits as Packet over SONET IP from Seattle to Denver.  Using advanced networks and next generation Internet2 are only part of these high bandwidth applications and the interfaces, system integration and architecture issues also had to be resolved in these successful projects. The session will discuss:

  • Video On-Demand interface for HD and MPEG-2 playback
  • Our latest HD desktop client featuring ATSC 19.1 Mbps HD available as
  • Video on Demand
  • High-quality media delivery using high speed networks
  • Description of our wide and varied content delivery applications for enhanced listener/viewer experiences
  • where we are going with all this in our radio and TV operations
  • media archive search and archive issues
  • The convergence between computing and broadcasting, and what the future may hold
