HISTORY :
In its early stages of development, television
employed a combination of optical, mechanical and electronic technologies to capture, transmit and display a visual image. By the late 1920s, however, those employing only optical and electronic technologies were being explored. Doordarshan is the public television broadcaster of India and a division of Prasar Bharti ,a public service broadcaster nominated by the govt. of India
It is one of the largest broadcasting organisations in the world in terms of infrastructure of STUDIOS and TRANSMITTERS More than 90 percent of the population receive doordarshan programmes through a network of 1400 terrestrial transmitters. The first practical use of television was in Germany. Regular television broadcasts began in Germany in 1929 and in 1936 the Olympic Games in Berlin were broadcast to television stations in Berlin and Leipzig where the public could view the games live.
blocks of TV transmission. It can be termed as recording Centre for the program. The live telecast of the programs such as news, interviews etc. also take place here. This is one among the major sections of transmission and involves a number of technical and nontechnical persons. Recording takes place according to a predetermined schedule called programmed schedule.
recorded using cameras. The studio floor is an open area, which contains the television cameras, microphones, lighting equipments sets and crew.

convert the optical image to a electric image charge depending on the light & shade of the scene.
VIDEO CAMERA
A video camera is a camera used for electronic motion
picture acquisition, initially developed by the television industry but now common in other applications as well.
Cameras based on solid-state image sensors such as
CCDs (and later CMOS active pixel sensors) eliminated common problems with tube technologies such as burn-in and made digital video workflow practical.

COLOUR TRANSMISSION
Three types of colour transmission system are:
NTSC SYSTEM SECAM SYSTEM PAL SYSTEM
NTSC
NTSC, named for the National Television System
Committee, is the analog television system used in most of North America, most countries in South America and some Pacific island nations and territories . The NTSC selected 525 scan lines as a compromise the number of scan lines to between 605 and 800. The standard recommended a frame rate of 30 frames per second, consisting of two interlaced fields per frame at 262.5 lines per field and 60 fields per second.
SECAM
SECAM, also written ,as Sequential Colour with
Memory, is an analog color television system first used in France. SECAM uses frequency modulation to encode chrominance information on the sub carrier. The red difference signal is transmitted on one line then the blue difference signal is transmitted on the other line.
broadcast television systems in many countries. It is used for broadcast television systems and analogue television for additional discussion of frame rates, image resolution and audio modulation. The basics of PAL and the NTSC system are very similar; a quadrature amplitude modulated subcarrier carrying the chrominance information is added to the luminance video signal to form a composite video baseband signal.
PAL, compared to 3.579545 MHz for NTSC. The name "Phase Alternating Line" describes the way that the phase of part of the colour information on the video signal is reversed with each line, which automatically corrects phase errors in the transmission of the signal by cancelling them out. The 4.43361875 MHz frequency of the colour carrier is a result of 283.75 colour clock cycles per line plus a 25 Hz offset to avoid interferences. Since the line frequency is 15625 Hz, the colour carrier frequency calculates as follows: 4.43361875 MHz = 283.75 * 15625 Hz + 25 Hz.
make a complete picture frame. Luminance, Y, is derived from red, green, and blue (R'G'B') signals. Y = 0.299R' + 0.587G' + 0.114B' U and V are used to transmit chrominance. Each has a typical bandwidth of 1.3 MHz. U = 0.492(B' Y) V = 0.877(R' Y) Composite PAL signal = Y + Usin(t) + Vcos(t) + timing where = 2FSC. Subcarrier frequency FSC is 4.43361875 MHz (5 Hz) for PAL-B/D/G/H/I/N.
decoder to recreate the colour difference signals. Since the carrier is not transmitted with the video information it has to be generated locally in the receiver. In order that the phase of this locally generated signal can match the transmitted information, a 10 cycle burst of colour subcarrier is added to the video signal shortly after the line sync pulse but before the picture information, during the so called BACK PORCH. An interesting comparison can be made with the VGA signal, the most notable differences being the double horizontal sweep time and interlace mode.
Video Formats
MPEG : The 'Moving Picture Experts Group' (MPEG) is
a working group of experts that was formed by ISO and IEC to set standards for audio and video compression and transmission. The MPEG compression methodology is considered asymmetric as the encoder is more complex than the decoder. The encoder needs to be algorithmic or adaptive whereas the decoder is 'dumb' and carries out fixed actions.
as broadcasting where the number of expensive complex encoders is small but the number of simple inexpensive decoders is large. The MPEG's (ISO's) approach to standardization is novel, because it is not the encoder that is standardized, but the way a decoder interprets the bitstream. A decoder that can successfully interpret the bit stream is said to be complaint. The advantage of standardizing the decoder is that over time encoding algorithms can improve, yet compliant decoders continue to function with them.
formats and ancillary standards: MPEG-1 (1993): Coding of moving pictures and associated audio for digital storage media at up to about 1.5 Mbit/s (ISO/IEC 11172). The first MPEG compression standard for audio and video. It was basically designed to allow moving pictures and sound to be encoded into the bit rate of a Compact Disc. It is used on Video CD, SVCD and can be used for lowquality video on DVD Video. It was used in digital satellite/cable TV services before MPEG-2 became widespread.
associated audio information. (ISO/IEC 13818) Transport, video and audio standards for broadcast-quality television. MPEG-2 standard was considerably broader in scope and of wider appealsupporting interlacing and high definition. MPEG-2 is considered important because it has been chosen as the compression scheme for over-the-air digital television ATSC, DVB and ISDB, digital satellite TV services like Dish Network, digital cable television signals, SVCD and DVD Video. It is also used on Blu-ray Discs, but these normally use MPEG-4 Part 10 or SMPTE VC-1 for high-definition content.
and multi-resolution compression and was intended for HDTV compression but was found to be redundant and was merged with MPEG-2, as a result there is no MPEG-3 standard. MPEG-3 is not to be confused with MP3, which is MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. MPEG-4 (1998): Coding of audio-visual objects. (ISO/IEC 14496) MPEG-4 uses further coding tools with additional complexity to achieve higher compression factors than MPEG-2. In addition to more efficient coding of video, MPEG-4 moves closer to computer graphics applications.
Profile) and MPEG-4 AVC (or MPEG-4 Part 10 or H.264). MPEG-4 AVC may be used on HD DVD and Blu-ray Discs, along with VC-1 and MPEG-2.
SATELLITE COMMUNICATION
Satellite: Satellite is a device that performs two functions at the same time. One is that it receives the information originated from a ground station (transmitter) and then secondly it sends this information to another ground station (receiver). These satellites revolve around a fixed orbit. Satellite is a communicational device used for a high scale broadcast and Monitoring purposes that may be stationary or revolving in an orbit.
Following are two types of satellites that are used generally. Low earth satellite Geo synchronous satellite (i) Low earth Satellite: This type of satellite which are within an altitude of 400kms from earth surface are known as low earth satellite. (ii) Geo Synchronous Satellite: The type of satellites which are above an altitude of 22,000 miles from earths surface are known as Geo - synchronous satellite.

EARTH STATION
Earth Station is a uplink center from which the signals are fed to Satellite for distribution in a specified area covered by the Satellite. The signal is up-linked from the earth station and received by many down link centers in TV broad casting. It is a very important part of satellite communication system for broadcasting of signals. Earth Station classification Analog Earth Station Analog / Digital Simulcast Digital Earth Station C-band or Ku-band

Interactive services like e-commerce, e-banking, tele-quiz, telegames etc. Automated operation in broadcast plan Non availability of analog systems in near future Future of TV transmission DTH, DTT & Digital Cable
The up-conversion is required to raise the frequency of the signal in desired band: C-band, Extended C-band or Ku-band before transmission. The input to up converter is 70 MHz (output of modulator) and output of Up-converter is fed to HPA. The up-conversion may done in stages or in one stage directly. For example the 70 MHz signal is first converted into L band and then L band signal raised to desired frequency band. Normally L-band monitoring point is also provided in Upconverters for monitoring purposes.
