Divi will give it's class again this fall. On October 26-28, 1998, UCLA Extension will present the short course, "Digital Video Technology", on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles. The instructors are Charles A. Poynton, Poynton Vector Corporation, and Robin Wilson, DiviCom. Each participant receives the text, "A Technical Introduction to Digital Video", Charles A. Poynton (John Wiley & Sons, 1996), as part of the course materials. Using computers and communication systems, it is easy to acquire, process, transmit, and display photographic-quality still color pictures. But ensuring smooth motion and accurate color reproduction in graphic media is elusive. Digital video technology is required to achieve these goals, but for various reasons this technology has remained largely inaccessible to computer professionals. This course provides an intensive three-day overview of the state of the art in studio quality digital video. It is intended for computer system designers, engineers, programmers, and/or technicians and is intended to show how to use digital video technology to bring smooth motion and accurate color to computing. For those involved in the television industry, this course should impart an understanding of digital images in computing to facilitate the application of video systems, equipment and techniques to the rapidly expanding area of multimedia. UCLA Extension has presented this highly successful short course since 1996. The fee for the course is $1395, which includes the text and extensive course notes. These course notes are for participants only, and are not for sale. ________ On November 2-4, 1998, UCLA Extension will present the short course, "Video Compression", on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles. The instructors are Peter D. Symes, Manager for Advanced Technology, Tektronix, and Wayne McLachlan, Engineer/Manager, Tektronix. Each participant receives the text, "Video Compression", Peter D. Symes (McGraw-Hill, 1998), as part of the course materials. This course provides video engineers with a thorough overview of the fundamental technologies used in digital television, internet video, DVD, and videoconferencing compression options for both storage and transmission, and shows how these techniques are compiled to provide today's compression standards. The course is not intended for designers of compression systems, but for video engineers who will have to use them. The material covered assumes a basic knowledge of electrical or electronic engineering and some understanding of video, but is designed to be accessible to the non-expert. The mathematics of compression techniques are discussed briefly, but the focus of the course is on providing a qualitative understanding of the processes involved rather than their detailed analysis. The fee for the course is $1295, which includes the text and extensive Here's evidence of compatibility issues for set-tops; The issue of statmuxing and incompatabilities of Divicom and DMV/NDS equipment with not only Pace boxes and Iredeto are well known. ww2.altavista.digital.com@1740@aus%2etv%2epay%26divicom
