 Digital Television
• In Digital television (DTV) transmission of the information occurs
as "data bits“ digital broadcaster can carry more information than
is currently possible with analog broadcast technology.

• For example, DTV technology allows the transmission of pictures

with higher resolution for dramatically better picture and sound
quality

• DTV technology can also be used to provide interactive video and

data services that are not possible with analog technology.
 Different DTV’s
There are many quality levels of digital television programming:

1.Standard-Definition TV (SDTV) –
SDTV is the basic level of quality display and resolution for both
analog and digital broadcast formats. Transmission of SDTV may be in either
the traditional (4:3) or widescreen (16:9) format.
2.Enhanced-Definition TV (EDTV) –
EDTV is a step up from analog television. EDTV comes in 480p
widescreen (16:9) or traditional (4:3) format and provides better picture
quality than SDTV, but not as high as HDTV.
3.High-Definition TV (HDTV)
HDTV in widescreen format (16:9) provides the highest resolution and
picture quality of all digital broadcast formats. Combined with digitally
enhanced sound technology, HDTV sets new standards for sound and picture
quality in television.
 High Definition Television ( HDTV )

• A current analog TV picture is made up of horizontal lines on the picture

screen; an HDTV picture can have more than twice as many lines, allowing
for stunning picture detail. HDTV has an impressive 720 progressive scanning
(1280x720 pixels) or 1080 interlaced (1920x1090 pixels) lines.

• HDTV uses a widescreen format. ( screen width : screen height )

• Analog television has an aspect ratio of 4:3. The aspect ratio of HDTV is
16:9, similar to a movie theater screen.

• HDTV Provides high-resolution programming.

• HDTV programs can include Dolby Digital surround sound, the same digital
sound system used in many movie theaters and DVDs.

• HDTV uses the same amount of bandwidth as the current analog system,
but with HDTV about six times more information is transmitted. This
capability translates to much better quality in picture and sound.
 Aspect Ratio

• 1.414… = √2:1 International paper sizes (ISO 216)
• 1.5 = 3:2 35 mm film
• 1.618… Golden ratio
• 1.6 = 15:9 = 5:3 Widescreen computer monitors (WXGA, etc.)
• 1.7 = 16:9 HDTV

instead of the standard Cold
cathode fluorescent Lamps
(LCD-CCFL) used in most
LCD televisions.
• With Edge-LED lighting they can
be extremely slim. Current
models on the market can be
approximately one inch thick.
& LCOS
• Liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS or
LCoS) is a "micro-projection" or "micro-
display” typically applied in projection.
• It is a reflective technology similar to
DLP projectors; however, it uses liquid
crystals instead of individual mirrors.
• By In LCoS, liquid crystals are
applied directly to the surface of a
silicon chip coated with an aluminized
layer, with some type of passivation
layer, which is highly reflective.
 3D HDTV
From the advent of moving pictures to the invention of TV,
historic developments drove image technologies through the 20th
century. Among them, colour and high definition (HD) were two major
advances. Now the television industry presents a third breakthrough
in the form of full-HD 3D. This new viewing experience is creating a
new dimension of video realism.
 BASICS OF 3D TV
 Binocular parallax
Binocular parallax defers to the ability of the eyes to see
a solid object and a continuous surface behind that object
even though the eyes see two different views.
 Motion parallax
It means information at the retina caused by relative
movement of objects as the observer moves to the side (or
his head moves sideways).

15
 Depth perception
It allows the beholder to accurately gauge the distance
to an object. It is the visual ability to perceive the world in
three dimensions.
 Stereographic images
It means two pictures taken with a spatial or time
separation that are then arranged to be viewed
simultaneously.
 Holographic Images
A luminous, 3D, transparent, colored and nonmaterial
image appearing out of a 2D medium, called a hologram.
A holographic image cannot be viewed without the proper
lighting.

• 3D HDTV uses a pair of high-definition stereoscopic images from
acquisition to display

• To apply an existing HDTV transmission system directly, a kind

of
multiplexing scheme is highly required prior to the 3D HDTV
Transmission

• 3D HDTV requires more bandwidth than HDTV for transmission

• 3D HDTV is much more impressive than HDTV from the

viewpoint
of depth perception and sense of reality

• 3D HDTV is now released in 1080p format

 How Does 3D TV Work?

STEREOSCOPY

Process that creates 3D images and it creates the illusion of

depth. In the real world, each of our eyes view objects at a slightly
different angle producing two slightly different images. Our brain then
then merges the two images together to form our 3D view of the world.
3D images work in a very similar way to this. Films and programmes are
recorded using special cameras which record the dual images required

The main methods are..

1. Anaglyph Method
2. Polarization Method
3. Active shutter
4. Auto stereoscopy
Anaglyph Method
This method produces two
slightly offset images each
individually tinted either in
Red and Cyan. The Red-Cyan
glasses then filter the light and
produces two individual
images for both eyes. The Brain
then merges both these Images
and produces a 3D effect.
used in TV broadcasts and
3D Blue Ray releases
 Polarization method
This method is one which is
becoming the method of choice
when displaying 3D images. Two
images are projected at right angles
to each other which are then filtered
by the polarizing glasses, again
meaning each individual eye only
sees the image intended for it,
much in the same was as the
anaglyph method.
Polarization is the main method
that will be used by 3D TV.
Alternate-frame sequencing (Active Shutter)

It uses glasses. Left and Right images are played

alternately at 48fps, and the glasses open and close the shutters
over the eyes to ensure each eye sees the correct image.
This requires linking the glasses to the hardware playing the
images to synchronize the opening and closing of the shutters via
infrared, radio frequency, DLP-Link or Bluetooth. This method is
currently the main method used by Samsung, Sony and LG on
their 3D Displays.
Auto Stereoscopy

This Method involves no glasses at all.

The method is not practical at this time for use in the home,
although many manufacturers already have screen using the
technology. In particular the Philips WOW VX uses this technology
but was only made available to professional markets. Hopefully
the technology will become available for the home at some point in
the future!

 DLP 3-D HDTV Technology

This technology displays

the left and right views required for
stereoscopic, or 3-D imaging. When
combined with shutter glasses, users will
experience high quality, high definition 3-
D viewing with DLP HDTVs.
A synchronization signal is
generated for each view and transmitted
optically to shutter glasses that are worn
by the viewer. The shutter glasses
process the signal and control the shutter
for each eye, insuring display of the
correct view.
 3-D HDTV Input Format

Left view Right view

Left and right stereo images are

independently filtered, then sampled in an
offset grid pattern. The resulting views are
then combined, and appear as a left and
right checkerboard pattern in a
conventional orthogonal sampled image.
This format preserves the horizontal and
vertical resolution of the left and right
views providing the viewer with the highest
quality image possible.

DLP 3-D HDTV System
Requirements:
• A DLP 3-D Ready HDTV offered by either Mitsubishi or
Samsung
• VESA compatible LCD shutter glasses and sync signal
transmitter
• Video or graphics source which shows 3-D pictures using
DLP HDTV 3-D format.
 Advantages of DLP 3-D HDTV technology

• The DLP 3-D HDTV technology supplies a 60Hz frame rate signal
to each eye (equivalent to 120 Hz). This high video frame rate
reduces flicker which is typical of other frame sequential
stereographic display systems.

• The technology has a virtually zero implementation cost on

new DLP HDTV, benefiting consumers with a future
proof capability.

• Older 3-D technologies used anaglyphic (red/blue) glasses. A

DLP 3-D HDTV system with shutter glasses gives exceptional
color fidelity and superior picture depth.
