It is important to remind that audiovisual communication services must, above everything, satisfy the final user needs !

It is essential to take into account the characteristics of the Human Visual and Auditory Systems, notably: Its limited capacity to see spatial detail The conditions under which it reaches the ‘illusion of motion’ Its lower sensibility to color in comparison with luminance/brightness

The luminous flux radiated by a luminous source with a power spectrum G(λ λ λ λ) is given by: Φ Φ Φ Φ = k ∫ ∫ ∫ ∫ G(λ λ λ λ) y(λ λ λ λ) dλ λ λ λ [lm or lumen] with k=680 lm/W where y(λ λ λ λ) is the average sensibility function of the human eye The way the radiated power is distributed by the various directions is given by the luminous intensity: JL = dΦ Φ Φ Φ /d

  • [lm/sr or vela (cd)]

In television, the relevant quantity is the luminance of a surface element dS when it is observed with an angle θ θ θ θ such that the surface orthogonal to the

  • bservation direction is dSn

Y = dJL / dSn [lm/sr/m2] which corresponds to the luminous flux, per solid angle, per unit of area.

Illusion of Motion: Temporal Resolution Illusion of Motion: Temporal Resolution Illusion of Motion: Temporal Resolution

Visual information corresponds to a time varying 3D signal which has to be transformed into a time varying 1D signal to be transmitted using the available channels. At the reception, the information is visualized in a 2D space resulting from the projection (during acquisition) into the camera plan. The 2D signal is sampled in time at a rate that guarantees the illusion of motion. This illusion improves with the image rate. Experience shows that it is possible to get a good illusion of motion up from 16018 image/s, depending on the image content.

From 2D to 1D: the Scanning Process From 2D to 1D: the Scanning Process From 2D to 1D: the Scanning Process

The transformation of the 2D signal in the camera plan into a 1D signal to be transmitted is made through a line scanning process of the image, from top to bottom and left to right (such as when reading). The scanning sequence is a priori determined and thus it is known by the sender and the receiver. As there were no memory capabilities, acquisition, transmission and visualization were practically simultaneous.

Visual Acuity versus Aumber of Lines Visual Acuity versus Aumber of Lines Visual Acuity versus Aumber of Lines

Visual acuity regards the eye capability of distinguishing (resolving) spatial detail. It is measured with the help of special images called Foucault bars images. The visual acuity determines the minimum number of lines in the image in order the user located at a certain distance does not ‘see’ the lines and as sensation of spatial continuity. The maximum number of lines that the Human Visual System manages to distinguish in a Foucault bars image is given by A Amax

Kell factor is a parameter used to determine the effective resolution of a discrete display device. If a horizontal line in a Foucault bars image were to fall exactly between two adjacent scan lines, it would not shown well. The empirically determined relationship between the number of visually resolvable lines and the number of scan lines is called the Kell factor and is about 0.7. This means the number of scan lines must be about A Amax

The 2D image is characterized by:

  • Aumber of lines/image

Aumber of lines/image – Depends on the visual acuity and the Kell factor.

  • Aspect ratio

Aspect ratio – To give the user a more intense sensation of involvement, the image is longer in the horizontal direction since this is the ‘format’ of our eyes and most real life action is performed along the horizontal axis (4/3 ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ 16/9)

  • Aumber of image elements/line

Aumber of image elements/line – For equal vertical and horizontal resolutions (image elements densities), it depends on the number of lines/image and the aspect ratio.

To obtain a total gama (γ γ γ γ 1 γ γ γ γ 2) between 1 and 1.3, a non linear device is introduced at the camera output which makes the gama correction with γ γ γ γ 1 γ γ γ γ 2 γ γ γ γ cor ~ 1.3.

VHF VHF

VHF is the acronym for Very High Frequency. It refers to the radio frequencies from 30 MHz to 300 MHz. This bandwidth range is commonly used for radio and TV transmissions.

UHF UHF

UHF is the acronym for Ultra High Frequency. It refers to the radio frequencies from 300 MHz to 3 GHz. This bandwidth range is commonly used for radio and TV transmissions. Electromagentic waves in this band have higher atmosferic attenuation and lower ionosphere reflection than VHF waves.

The modulation selected for the luminance is Vestigial Side Band (VSB) since it is spectrally rather efficient and allows to use relatively simple demodulating systems. The VBS signal is obtained at the sender from the Double Side Band (DSB) signal using adequate filtering. The audio signal is treated separately and modulated in a different carrier, using amplitude or frequency modulation (typically FM).

About TV Compatibilities About TV Compatibilities About TV Compatibilities

Colour TV is another natural development in the emulation of human capabilities by Telecommunications. Colour TV takes benefit of technological developments and must guarantee compatibility without using more bandwidth than black and white TV.

  • BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY

BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY – A colour TV emission must be able to be received by a black and white TV receiver (of course, in black and white).

  • FORWARD COMPATIBILITY

FORWARD COMPATIBILITY – A colour TV receiver must be able to receive (in black and white) a black and white emission.

In additive colour systems, the sum of all colours gives white and the subtraction of all colours gives black. Colorimetry studies show that it is possible to reproduce a high number of colours through the addition of only 3 primary colours, carefully chosen.

To compensate the luminance conversion non0linearities at the camera and display, gamma correction is needed; this means Y 1/γ

γ γ γ = (0.3 R + 0.59 G + 0.11 B) 1/γ γ γ γ

with 1/γ γ γ γ being the transmitted gamma. As each of the primary colour tubes has a characteristic similar to the one for the monochrome tubes, it is essential to make the gamma correction for each primary component; this means the receiver must be able to obtain R 1/γ

γ γ γ , B 1/γ γ γ γ e G 1/γ γ γ γ

To avoid the resolution of non0linear equations at the colour receivers, an approximation of the luminance signal is transmitted Y’ = 0.3 R 1/γ

The ATSC system takes benefit from the fact that the human sensibility to colour variation depends on the direction the colour is varying in a chromaticity diagram. If the chrominance signals express colour variations along directions to which humans are differently sensitive, it is acceptable that the bandwidth for these signals is also different.

Separation of ATSC Chrominances Separation of ATSC Chrominances Separation of ATSC Chrominances

To recover the quadrature modulating chrominance signals, the modulated signal is multiplied by cos ω ω ω ωc t and sen ω ω ω ωc t and the result is adequately filtered. The perfect quadrature demodulation is only possible if the modulated signal does not suffer any interference and the equipment is perfectly tuned. This is, in practise, impossible ! Since

There are small frequency or phase shifts in the demodulating carrier Transmission channels introduce differential amplitude or phase gains

it is not possible to perfectly recover the quadrature modulated signals (U and V) which means there are colour mixtures and thus colour errors.

The two chrominance signals are frequency modulated and alternately transmitted, line by line (reducing the colour spatial resolution). There are no colour mixtures with SECAM since the two chrominance signals never coexist in time. Although the SECAM vertical resolution for the chrominances is about half
