Designing Media Supply Chains: Part 1 – Evolution, Disruption & Predicting The Future July 14^th 2022 - 09:30 AM

We begin a new series of articles exploring things to consider when designing systems for the rapidly evolving world of The Media Supply Chain. We start with a look at the landscape of disruptive change, growth and the impact of migration to the cloud and 5G Broadcast.

Information: Part 4 - Data Rates July 7^th 2022 - 09:30 AM

In an increasingly digital world, it may be useful to look at the amount of data needed to represent various media. Note that the amount of data is being considered; the amount of information will always be somewhat less than that.

Electricity: Part 4 - Solar Panels July 6^th 2022 - 11:00 AM

Solar Panels, or photo-voltaics (PV), have their uses, but they also have their drawbacks.

Transforms: Part 6 - The Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) July 1^st 2022 - 09:00 AM

The Fourier Transform is complex in the mathematical sense, which means that each coefficient is represented by complex number.

We are not done with statistics yet. In a sense we will never be done with it and it is better to know how to deal with it than to ignore it. It is better still to know how others commonly fail to deal with it and reach conclusions that…

Transforms: Part 5 - OFDM June 3^rd 2022 - 09:00 AM

Thus far we have looked at transforms from a somewhat abstract viewpoint. In contrast, here we look at an application where transforms take center stage.

Electricity: Part 3 - AC Systems May 27^th 2022 - 09:00 AM

Here we look at alternating current (AC) systems and how generating AC often requires an intermediate step of converting to DC to improve the efficiencies of AC generators.
