Course contents
Convergence between different media such as tele-, IT- and television are today one of the most exciting achievements of our time. There is a need to combine content for different platforms which puts new demands on the engineers. In this course we will start with the picture and how to capture it. We work our way through different signals and video standards, how to digitalize the signal and store it and in the end how to send and display it. Here are some of the topics:
- photography and image
- optics
- photometry
- video and videosignals
- filter
- AD/DA conversion
- storage
- distribution.
Intended learning outcomes
After the course the student should be able to:
- choose and motivate different solutions for video systems
- seek and value technical information
- estimate required information volumes, bandwidths and transfer time for different media at different quality levels
- communicate with experts.
