Students learn about designing architecture for receiving television signals, physical architecture and appropriate software support.

Students have learnt about basic design techniques, testing architecture and TV signal receivers. The acquired knowledge forms the basis for the future professional courses.

Introduction (fundamentals of image transmission). Elements of physical architecture of TV set/ receiver- basic elements, realization of input element of TV set (tuner, demodulator), digitalization block, block for digital image processing (SRC, NR, ZOOM, scaling), block for image representation (CRT, LCD, Plasma), realization of the central control unit, with section for data handling (VBI, CC, TTX). Elements of TV system software (OS, HAL, MICTOS), elements of software for handling TV set input (tuner, demodulator), output, realization of sound control software (MSP), teletext software, user interface (remote control and menu system). Realization of algorithms for digital processing of television picture in real time in programmable sequential networks (OCP 1.0, OCP 2.0, 3DComb).

Lectures. Tutorials. Auditory practice. Computer practice. Consultations. The teaching is divided into two blocks. In the first block students attend theoretical classes during the mornings. In the afternoon they attend computer practice classes. During the second block students work on their examination papers.
