I'll added several other topics that I should be of interest, even if some do not have direct links to DTV. Here's some information that will be integrated into the Wiki when I have it configured correctly. When I realize that subjects don't belong on this page, I'll remove them.
DigitalTV. Sometimes evolving standards hit a dead end; we have taken the original RCA black and white broadcast standard as far as it can go. This is time for a revolution; new standards. We'll explore how DTV is going to change the way Americans see the world. Even mobile devices and theaters are included.
- Broadcasting: From Tesla to Digital
A condensed history from the first wireless electronic transmission that helped us bring the world together.
- The Medium Today
What is broadcasting and how do we use it? Telephones, televisions, news, movies, and other media have changed as our needs changed. What are the strengths and weaknesses of today's mediums. If social changes can be sparked by a medium, can social changed be derailed by the lack of a particular medium.
- Congressional Guidance
To smash the old standards and replace them with new ones is the job of the governing body. I the US that is the US Congress. They have been setting goals, and as technology has been catching up the goals, and dates for those goals, have been closer to fulfillment. What are those goals and why has it been so long?
- ATSC Raising the Bar
The rules for NTSC, old TV, were inflexible and unexplainable. How will ATSC, new TV, change that? How will it let us see the world in a new way? Can ATSC be flexible enough to become fragmented and promote 'standards wars' by broadcasters and manufacturers?
- DTV Goes Portable
- Home Entertainment
The power of the portable, plus a whole lot more. How DTV will change the way we spend our time at home. Without the NTSC bottleneck how will we do that was impossible before? Just as the Internet is a mostly personal interface, digital TV will will allow groups of people to share the experience. It will change the way we see the world.
- Personal Computers
Although personal computers have gotten better at what they do, they haven't changed much in twenty years. Here are some of the biggest benchmarks for home computers and what we might see in the future.
- Movie Theaters
In the late 90s movie theaters bloomed all around the country. Digital theaters will open up new possibilities in every town. In 2020 you might got to the theater for a corporate event, a concert, a sporting event, an independent fill festival, or even one showing movies. We once got our news at the theater, and we might do that again.
- Digital Production
Going digital gives us more flexibility then we have ever had. By going from analog to digital we will loose many production problems. These problems include: ten thousand dollar camera tubes, expensive to run lighting, difficult to impossible color management, generation data loss, and much more. See how DTV will be flexible enough to keep up with almost any production demands.
Online Communities and Games.
Virtual reality of Hollywood is still more fantasy then science. Agumented
reality is the closest to the Hollywood story telling machine, but still way
off. Today we have practical VR. We explore foreign lands in Shenmue or test
drive a new car in Forza Racing. We even build new and fantastic worlds to
game in. There are online communities where people build their own space,
creating colabritive lands that are almost organic.
BTW, my Xbox Live gametag is JimVideoDotCom.
Tech Wish List.
What would get you to go out and buy the latest widgets? Is there a button you think we need on our microwaves? What feature would convince you to replace all your telephones? Where does software fail you the most?
Unconventional Theories.
I have a gravitational theory where the Eye of Jupiter could have an orbit under it's top layers of clouds and that there is a moon under the Eye that is causing the storm.
And more.
Sure the Internet has millions of web sites. I feel that this website offers something new to the fold.
