Classes and Seminars
Understanding ATSC 3.0
Broadcast Engineers and Technicians, as well their managers and executives planning for the future, all need to understand the wide-ranging implications of the Advanced Television Systems Committee’s latest suite of standards, ATSC 3.0. This course provides key insights into how the system, conceived from the beginning as an international broadcast platform, paves the way for the next generation of television with the convergence of the best capabilities of broadcasting and broadband. Built on a new understanding of the latest video and audio formats, the most modern compression technology, and adapted internet data protocols. This is an SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) course.
Books & Manuals

Host Station Manual
Pearl TV and the Phoenix Model Market stations are continuously updating a Host Station Manual to guide ATSC 3.0 stations about best practices for deployment of Next-Generation Broadcasting. What is new in this particular version is a section on the Packager, a critical component in the NextGen TV broadcast chain. Read the latest Host Station Manual here.
Host Station Manual (Spanish version)
La televisión de la Nueva Generación
Este libro recorre la historia de la televisión desde su más frágil concepto en matices de grises hasta su concepto más completo no solo a color sino en formato digital. Es un camino que abarca casi 100 años y que al final arrasa con los conceptos que se tenían de la televisión el siglo pasado. Como resultado tenemos la desaparición del cinematógrafo y de la televisión per se para convertirse en una señal a color como nunca soñaron los primeros pioneros investigadores de la imagen. La televisión es el resultado de la inspiración de rusos, norteamericanos tanto del norte como del sur del Rio Bravo, ingleses, japoneses y holandeses primordialmente. Al final hacemos una breve introducción al sistema de nueva Generación que amalgama tanto la señal abierta al aire por medio de ondas electromagnéticas como la señal serial IP conocida como ATSC 3.0.
Tools
VP1 Registrar Services or ATSC A/334 implementation code from Verance
ATSC watermark embedders must be configured to embed a unique, registered Server Code value. Server Code registration must be performed by a registrar designated by ATSC found at the link above.
ATSC 3.0 Calculator provided by Enensys.
The ATSC 3.0 Capacity calculator helps broadcaster select their desired modulation parameters by displaying the full channel capacity of any given configuration along with RF performance information. The calculator also helps guide broadcasters by indicating which configurations choices are permitted by the standard.
Next Generation Broadcast Platform: Open Source Tools and Samples: ATSC 3.0
The Broadcast and Technology industries can leverage ATSC 3.0 by “bootstrapping” the open source community. By augmenting the work done by the ATSC Committee, along with ISO, Cloud Providers, Encoding and CDN providers, including CE and OTT partners, NGBP.ORG is the first step in building a community and tools.
NAB PILOT Develops Transmitter Identification Resource for NextGen TV Stations
The NextGen TV Transmission ID (TxID) table for voluntary use by broadcasters uses the ATSC 3.0 transmission standard. The table and TxID codes can be used to identify individual transmissions for testing, measurement, interference identification and other differentiation purposes.
