| CEV - Suggested Reference Books |
The SBE National Certification Committee has put together a list of Suggested Reference books that may be helpful in studying for the exam. Everyone's skill set and knowledge is different so the SBE National Certification Committee does not recommend specific books.
Some of theses books can be purchased through the SBE Bookstore (SBE Members receive a discount).

| Webinars by SBE - ATSC Mobile DTV - September 23 at 2:00 p.m. ET |
2009 | ATSC Mobile DTV
 Date: Thursday, September 23, 2010
Price: Members-$39; Non-Members-$55
Overview
The two-year effort to develop a comprehensive system for mobile and handheld digital television services-known as ATSC Mobile DTV-has moved from standardization to implementation. This milestone, along with the launch of other mobile delivery systems, has ushered in a new era for content suppliers and distributors. This webinar is brought to you by SBE and ATSC.
Part 1 - Physical Layer: Wayne Bretl, Zenith/LG
This part introduces the layered structure of the ATSC Mobile DTV System, and then describes how enhancements to the ATSC 8-VSB physical layer provide robust reception under mobile conditions, and how a variable part of the data in the ATSC channel can be allocated for mobile use.
Part 2 - IP Transport: Rich Chernock, Triveni Digital
This presentation explains the use of IP transport in ATSC Mobile DTV for both streaming and file content. The protocol stack will be explained, as well as the mechanisms adopted to allow "broadcast quality" to be achieved.
Part 3 - Implementation: Jay Adrick, Harris
The last portion of this webinar provides an overview of the equipment utilized to originate and transmit ATSC Mobile DTV services, including encoders, signaling, ESG, mobile transmission adapters and the transmission exciter. The signal flow and interconnection of these devices with the existing DTV transmission system will also be covered, as well as system and bandwidth planning. |
