 AS PER MEDIA MANAGEMENT CONCEPT-‘

An media organization is defines as the entity who has three elements-

1. GENERATION.
2. STORAGE.
3. DISTRIBUTION of information like news or shows. Since Doordarshan is also a
media organization which is run by Government of India hence it GENRATE,
STORE, and DISRIBUTR the certain information to viewers that we learned in
the whole visit which is standardly described below.

 GENERATION-
 The generation of information takes places within the studio under media
professionals using HD Cameras and makes it attractive by further editing like
adding visual effects, using light at different angles in studio for elimination of
shadow on face and other part for making it more natural as like as the show is
shorted under sunlight, adding 3D effects for making the viewer to feel like the show
is happening in front of him rather than within the studio the shows are also shorted
outside the studio at different places in Indore like the programs based on
agricultural are shorted in the fields of villages. The Doordarshan specially send a
team for its shooting.
 Rather than creating the material for broadcasting the Doordarshan also receives
shows which are filmed at Delhi which is received by the parabolic dish antennas
through satellite and aired through the tower. The procedure of generation is quite
difficult which required lots of technical instruments which are available at
Doordarshan, Indore.
 STORAGE-
When it comes to storage part the material or the recording that created in the studio or
outdoor is stored in 23 GB disk which has 45 min duration storage capacity and 50 GB
disk for 95 min duration storage capacity before magnetic tapes are used which are not
less shelf life but with advancement in technology now they have modified devices which
are long and more shelf life. Before the archives are stored in VCR’S which are not
converted into VRD’S these disks are sent to Delhi using satellite or by physical means.

 DISTRIBUTION-
The work of broadcasting of signals done by transmission of information of 5 channels
through transmission panel by co-axial cable to the sky-high mars tower by it spreads
around the area of 60-70 km to the local crowd of Indore where their the signal spread by
the high tower is received by antenna that is settled up in the houses of people.
