The DTV Express, spreading the word. Looks like they just finished up...
The HARRIS/PBS DTV Express is designed to help television broadcasters prepare for
a rapid, cost-effective transition to DTV and to inform government officials, educators,
and key industry decision-makers about the opportunities and possibilities of digital
television.
This unprecedented 15-month traveling program is showcased through a 66-foot,
18-wheel "road show" vehicle. It's a digital education adventure that takes participants
through digital programming demonstrations and scenarios of a Living Room of
Tomorrow, a Classroom of the Future, and a Digital Television Station!
Through entertaining and educational scenarios, the many features and services DTV
technology affords (HDTV, "Surround Sound," Multicasting and Datacasting) will be
presented, and the major components of the digital television station, from production
to transmission, will be demonstrated.
Bill Nye, host of PBS's award-winning BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY, stars in an
entertaining high definition video that demonstrates the basics of digital television and
the positive impact DTV will have on education.
Traveling to 40 cities across the United States, the PBS member stations serving as
hosts, this unique program prominently features extensive training curriculum designed
to run concurrently on two education tracks—a business/operations track and a
technical management track.
