Implementing the technology shift from 2D to 3D: insights and suggestions for umpire educators

Effective methods to improve decision-making in sports officiating, particularly with the current and ongoing issues with in-person training, means new remote training methods must be developed. Traditional training of officials occurs primarily as “in-person coaching” at matches, with supporting training manuals and 2D broadcast analysis. However, live matches present difficulties in implementation, while manuals and 2D broadcast videos may not sufficiently ensure learning transfers to real situations. Due to its ease of use, first-person perspective, and ability to analyze live and post-event remotely, 360° virtual reality video technology (360° VR) offers an alternative technological solution for developing decision-making accuracy for sports officials across multiple sports. This study sought to assess the ecological validity (EV) of using 360° VR technology to enable remote teaching of decision-making. Decision-making quality and accuracy in softball umpires were similar when using 360° VR and the traditional method (2D broadcast footage), but 360° VR received significantly higher EV values than the 2D broadcast videos. In addition, interviewed participants expressed excitement about using 360° VR to augment traditional umpiring manuals and rulebooks. The results show that 360° VR has the potential to enhance or replace traditional remote learning methods for decision-making in softball umpires and allow softball learning to reach a much wider umpire audience.

A Temporal Methodology for Assessing the Performance of Concatenated Codes in OFDM Systems for 4K-UHD Video Transmission

The communication channel is a critical part of the process of information degradation. In the 4K ultra-resolution video transmission domain, the communication channel is a crucial part where information degradation occurs, inevitably leading to errors during reception. To enhance the transmission process in terms of fidelity, advanced technologies such as digital video broadcasting terrestrial (DVB-T) and its evolutionary successor, digital video broadcasting terrestrial second generation (DVB-T2), are utilized to mitigate the effects of data transmission errors. Within this scenario, this research presents an innovative methodology for the temporal analysis of 4K ultra-resolution video quality under the influence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh channels. This analytical endeavor is facilitated through the application of concatenated coding schemes, specifically, the Bose–Chaudhuri–Hocquenghem concatenated low-density parity check (BCH-LDPC) and Reed–Solomon concatenated convolutional (RS-CONV) coders. A more comprehensive understanding of video quality can be attained by considering its temporal variations, a crucial aspect of the ongoing evolution of technological paradigms. In this study, the Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) serves as the main metric for quality assessment during simulations. Furthermore, the simulated Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) values validate these findings, exhibiting consistent alignment with the SSIM-based evaluations. Additionally, the performance of the BCH-LDPC significantly outperforms that of RS-CONV under the 64-QAM modulation scheme, yielding superior video quality levels that approximate or surpass those achieved by RS-CONV under QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) modulation, leading to an increase in spectral efficiency. This enhancement is evidenced by SSIM gains exceeding 78% on average. The computation of average gains between distinct technologies in video quality analysis furnishes a robust and comprehensive evaluation framework, empowering stakeholders to make informed decisions within this domain.

An ANALYSIS OF DVB-T2 TV BROADCAST TESTING DRIVE TEST AND FIELD STRENGTH METHODS IN THE JAKARTA SERVICE AREA

Indonesia has adopted DVB-T2 as the technology standard for terrestrial digital television broadcasting. This research aims to test and analyze the reception quality of DVB-T2 TV broadcasts in the DKI Jakarta service area. The research was conducted using drive test and field strength methods to test and evaluate the quality of digital television broadcasts. Tests were conducted in various locations in the DKI Jakarta service area using the Gsertel Hexylon TV Analyzer technical device to test DVB-T2 TV broadcast signals. The field strength test results were more accurate and higher values were generated than the drive test. Several parameters such as signal level and MER are evaluated and analyzed to find out what affects their values. The transmitter parameter settings such as modulation, FEC code rate, FFT Mode, Guard Interval, and Pilot Pattern greatly affect the signal level and MER values. The optimization performed on CH 24 also managed to maintain its signal level value of 18.19 dB and its MER of 55.01 dBµV to maintain broadcast stability during a technical failure of the transmitter on CH 1.

This means that it has completed Peter L. Berger's Social Reality Construction Theory, namely that all this time Peter L Berger never talked about the media, but then it was the media that led to representation. So the media plays a role as a construction and representation of reality, in the socialization of the conversion of digital television broadcast technology

История немецкого телевидения как социокультурного и дискурсивного феномена

Television is a global phenomenon with national peculiarities. This article introduces a chronological and comparative analysis of the development of television in West and East Germany. A systematic view of this phenomenon involves both technical and social aspects. From a technical innovation available to the privileged, it turned into a mass medium that performs an integrative function by shaping and broadcasting the current discourse. The research objective was to find out the specifics of television in Germany and correlate the global trends with the national context. The XX century erased the borders between such incompatible phenomena as dictatorship and democracy, and all these phenomena affected the content of TV shows, people’s attitude to television, its new genres, social functions, etc. The author revealed five stages in the development of German television. Stage I (late XIX century – 1945) was the age of technical discoveries, attempts at their practical implementation, and the early regular broadcasting during the period of National Socialism. Stage II (late 1940s – 1950s) marked the restoration of television broadcasting and the parallel development of television in the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic. Stage III (1960s –1970s) clarified the institutional framework and social functions of television. Stage IV (1980s – mid-1990s) saw the emergence of new broadcasting technologies and commercial TV channels, as well as the collapse of the Eastern bloc and the reunification of Germany. Stage V (since 1990s) is connected with digitalization.

Unidirectional switch model for multiservice traffic with polymodal distribution

The modern stage of development of telecommunication networks is characterized by active improvement of routing algorithms in packet-switched networks taking into account the provision of the required quality of service. The need to transfer large amounts of information is due to the need to ensure the normal functioning of modern multimedia applications, in particular such as IP telephony, video and radio broadcasting, interactive distance learning, which determines the multiservice nature of traffic, which is heterogeneous, and its statistical properties in most cases are of a complex polymodal nature. Taking into account the fact that traditional Poisson models providing FIFO servicing of network traffic for solving modern telecommunication problems lead to overly optimistic results in terms of delays, there is a need to develop a new mathematical model of a unidirectional switch providing FIFO servicing of multiservice traffic with polymodal distribution taking into account the provision of the required quality of subscriber service and an algorithm for estimating its main parameters. Development of a mathematical model of a unidirectional switch FIFO-service of multiservice traffic with polymodal distribution taking into account the provision of the required quality of subscriber service and an algorithm for estimating its main parameters. A new mathematical model of a unidirectional switch implementing FIFO-service of multiservice traffic with polymodal distribution has been developed, allowing one to estimate the probabilities that packets arriving at the switch input will not be processed due to overflow of its buffer memory and exceeding the maximum packet processing time. The model takes into account the delays introduced by the channel and channel equipment during the distribution and processing of packets from the source to the switch in question. Recommendations for modeling traffic processing to ensure the specified accuracy of the results are presented.

Post-Pandemic Hiring Practices and Skills Requested by Local U.S. TV Stations

ABSTRACT Job ads are meant to capture the daily responsibilities of the position, as well as let candidates know the skills and qualities the right candidate for the job needs to demonstrate from the employer’s perspective. While Aupperle and Grzeslo (2020) studied job ads of legacy media stations, Deavours and Grzeslo (2020) were among the first to explore local broadcast television station job ads. Yet, after the “Great Resignation” following the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as recent technology and business model changes, researchers need to continue to update and monitor the rapidly evolving needs of local newsrooms. This study seeks to provide insight through a content analysis of job postings from U.S. local television stations, exploring the experience, skills, and experience requirements necessary to be competitive in today’s market, while also looking at how companies are working harder to attract talent. Using the theoretical lens of skills theory of leadership, the study also provides insight in hiring differences in station ownership, market size, and position type. Through content analysis of 349 job ads from 21 local news Designated Market Areas, findings suggest the field is embracing more convergent, digital reporting tactics, while still emphasizing the foundations of broadcast writing and visual storytelling. However, some of the most dramatic shifts in the industry toward innovation, emerging media, digital legal and ethical skills, and diversity are not reflected in job ads, creating little guidance for individuals and educators on how to prepare for an ever-changing job market.

Preaching the Impossible in the Face of the Unthinkable: Nonviolence, Love, and Thanksgiving in a Coptic Easter Sermon

This essay examines the Holy Monday sermon by Boules George, a senior priest at St. Mark Church in Cairo, that was preached the day after the Palm Sunday suicide bomb attacks against St. George Coptic Orthodox Church in Tanta and St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Alexandria in Egypt in 2017, which left forty-four people dead and more than one hundred injured. The sermon addressed Coptic Orthodox Christians in Cairo as well as the wider Coptic Orthodox community in Egypt and throughout the world through a live video broadcast. The sermon is remarkable for presenting a radical call to nonviolence and Christian love. Notably, the preacher speaks to “those who are killing us”, and says “thank you” for the opportunity to die as Christ died, for “this is the greatest honor that we could have”. This essay analyzes the sermon in light of the work of Walter Brueggemann and Alexander Schmemann, and argues that the sermon is an example of daring speech that offers divine empowerment to the suffering and the fearful.

Turkish Radio and TV Broadcasting Corporation’s new streaming application and the continuity of music policy as an educational institution

While numerous studies focus on streaming platforms as new business models or as novel elements in the supply chain, there is a notable gap in research addressing how streaming is operationalized within the context of state cultural policies. This study aims to fill this gap by conducting a preliminary examination of Turkish Radio and Television Broadcasting Corporation’s (TRT’s) digital transformation through its music streaming platform, TRT Listen. This research contributes to the international literature by highlighting various potential approaches to the digitalization of public radio broadcasting. This study, which examines the purpose and realization of TRT Listen, first provides a historical overview of TRT’s radio broadcasting and thus reveals the continuity in TRT’s cultural policy, which is shaped as a mission to educate the public and inculcate a national cultural identity, from radio broadcasting to the platform app. Two different research methods were used in this study: walk-through technique for the app and in-depth interviews with TRT’s staff and music industry representatives. The basic argument suggests that TRT Listen represents a continuation of historical music policies and nation state cultural agenda inherited from TRT’s radio era. However, at the operational level, this strategic continuity seems to disappear in the audience engagement techniques of digital platforms. The three main discussion sections of this article – TRT Listen’s strategic orientation, content curation and copyright management – reveal the platform’s mission to educate the public culturally in Turkey.

Female archetypes in the mythological model of television news culture

This study is aimed at identifying patterns of the embodiment of the female image in the information stories of domestic and foreign TV channels. The subject of this article is a mythological model of constructing reality in modern mass media. The object is television news stories in 2017-2023, in which female archetypes are most clearly revealed. Special attention is paid to the information coverage of the foreign topic of the feminist action MeToo and the domestic criminal case of the Khachaturian sisters. The research is aimed at comparing the mythological structure of the plot with the techniques of television broadcasting and understanding the broadcast of the female image on television screens. Thus, the article puts forward a hypothesis: when covering information topics, the media uses a model of a mythological structure, and as a result, a system of archetypes that forms the viewer's opinion. This work is based on the theory of archetypes developed by the scientist K. Jung, which is visualized in the information topics of the last decade. The analysis is of scientific interest in connection with the growing feminist discourse in society, of which television is becoming one of the key broadcasters. Of particular importance is the study of the symbolization of the female image on the television screen through the concepts of C. Jung and E. Neumann, using the example of the main themes of feminist discourse in recent years. The novelty of the research lies in a new theoretical understanding of the ways in which television content affects the viewer. The main conclusions of the study are the confirmation of a scientific hypothesis: about the use of the media of a mythological structure through which a system of archetypes is broadcast, which in turn leads to a stable formation of public opinion. In addition, the author examines the mythological archetypes of communication, which represent the main ways of transmitting information in the modern world.

The Reverberation of the Sacred Gurbani’s Vibrations at the Darbar Sahib: The Issue of Its Television Broadcasting

This essay will examine the contemporary issue of the television broadcasting of the sacred Gurbani from the Darbar Sahib to set the stage for understanding the historical context of the musical sessions (chauṅkīs) of devotional singing, followed by the process of decolonizing the musical performances in modern times, including religious aesthetics and sacred time and the processional chauṅkīs in the Darbar Sahib Complex. The continuous singing of the Guru’s hymns (Gurbani kirtan) resounds inside the Darbar Sahib (“the Divine Court”), popularly known as the Golden Temple of Amritsar. This special mode of worship consists of singing and listening to the hymns of the Guru Granth Sahib, the sacred scripture of the Sikhs. The heart of Sikh devotional experience lies in the performance of scriptural hymns in a congregational setting. Notably, different sessions of devotional singing go on day and night from 2.45 a.m. to 10.45 p.m. at the Golden Temple, following a celebrated tradition established more than four centuries ago by the Fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan. Even during the four-hour period of cleaning the sanctum sanctorum at midnight, the devotees recite hymns from memory, thereby making the Darbar Sahib a unique place where vibrations of sacred sound reverberate continuously for twenty-four hours a day.

Novel Resource Allocation Technique for DVB-RCS Compliant Satellite Terminals

Satellite communication is advantageous for several reasons such as broad coverage, small installation time of remote user sites, and network services in inhospitable terrains, where installing terrestrial infrastructure is costly. With the advent of broadband multimedia satellites such as Ku and Ka band satellites, multimedia services to the satellite terminals are gaining momentum. Digital Video Broadcast Return Channel via Satellite (DVB-RCS) is an open standard developed by ETSI which has further standardized, commercialized and solved the problem of inter-operability of Ku Band satellite terminals. Satellite bandwidth is scarce therefore treated as precious resource. In the present paper, authors aim to develop and realize the resource allocation techniques in return link channel for DVB-RCS compliant satellite terminals. The paper provides method for giving preference to real time application in terms of early processing of allocation request generated against the real time traffic to reduce delay and also provides method to avoid parallel connection arises due to transmission of terminal on more than one frequency at a time. Authors have realised DVB-RCS resource allocation technique and have given simulation results.

ViSTec: Video Modeling for Sports Technique Recognition and Tactical Analysis

The immense popularity of racket sports has fueled substantial demand in tactical analysis with broadcast videos. However, existing manual methods require laborious annotation, and recent attempts leveraging video perception models are limited to low-level annotations like ball trajectories, overlooking tactics that necessitate an understanding of stroke techniques. State-of-the-art action segmentation models also struggle with technique recognition due to frequent occlusions and motion-induced blurring in racket sports videos. To address these challenges, We propose ViSTec, a Video-based Sports Technique recognition model inspired by human cognition that synergizes sparse visual data with rich contextual insights. Our approach integrates a graph to explicitly model strategic knowledge in stroke sequences and enhance technique recognition with contextual inductive bias. A two-stage action perception model is jointly trained to align with the contextual knowledge in the graph. Experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms existing models by a significant margin. Case studies with experts from the Chinese national table tennis team validate our model's capacity to automate analysis for technical actions and tactical strategies.

The Effects of Multi-Level Diversity on Team Innovation: The Role of Collaborative Capability

Objective: This study examines the effects of surface-level, deep-level, and functional-level diversity on team innovation. This study also examines the moderation effect of the collaborative capability toward diversity and team innovation. Design/methodology/approach – The sample for this research was 175 creative team members who were then integrated into 38 creative teams of radio and television broadcasting institutions. Data collection was done using a survey method. Findings – This study indicates that surface-level and deep-level diversity negatively impact team innovation, while functional-level diversity has a positive. In addition, the study found that collaborative capability has been moderated on surface-level diversity and team innovation. However, collaborative capability does not moderate the effect of deep- and functional-level diversity on the innovation team. Originality/value – This research contributes to the team innovation literature by examining the influence of three characteristics of team diversity consisting of surface level, deep level, and functional comprehensively on team innovation, as well as the moderating role of collaboration capability as a contextual factor. Practical/Policy implication: From a practical perspective, this study has important implications for how practitioners in creative teams overcome surface and deep-level diversity challenges and take advantage of the functional-level diversity of members in creative teams. This research also increases understanding of the value of diversity in the context of team innovation.

The Media's Influence on Uganda's Security Sector Reforms: An Analysis of a Few Broadcast and Print Media Stations in Kampala

The goal of this study was to investigate how the media and other external variables influenced Uganda's security sector reform. The study especially looked at the several ways that Uganda's media shaped the country's security sector reforms, noted the difficulties that the media in Uganda experienced in implementing these reforms, and determined the other elements that affected Uganda's security sector reform. The study population included Kampala city residents, security personnel, and media personnel. This study used a quantitative, descriptive, and correlative research approach to investigate how the media and other factors shaped the security sector changes. Conversely, a qualitative method was applied to evaluate the difficulties encountered by the media, involving the collection of data through in-depth interviews with journalists. According to the study's findings, the mass media—that is, radio, television, and print—accounted for 47.9% of the security sector's performance (adjusted R2 = 0.479). This indicates that other factors not taken into consideration by this model accounted for 52.1% of the contribution. Nonetheless, just two media outlets—radio (β = 0.568, p = 0.000 < 0.05) and television broadcasting (β = 0.271, p = 0.004 < 0.05)—had a positive and noteworthy impact on the security sector's performance in Uganda, whereas print media (β = -0.090, p = 0.312 < 0.05) had a negative and negligible impact. The results of the journalist interviews also showed that, despite the media's beneficial influence on the performance of the security sector, the media in Uganda has certain obstacles to reforming the security sector. The primary obstacles identified by the interviewees were the absence of legal provisions or instruments that enable journalists to obtain information, coupled with the preservation of antiquated laws on statute books that restrict access, bureaucratic red tape in government, insufficient funding and institutional bureaucracy, political violence, and inadequate training. The results of the study showed that, as 45.2% of the data showed, there is a positive correlation between the other parameters and the performance of the security sector (p = 0.05). These other elements include company culture, resource availability, and leadership. This means that, despite a number of restrictions and laws put in place by governments to restrict media impact, the Ugandan media does its function. The study also comes to the conclusion that performance in the security industry is influenced by other factors. The report suggests that in order to enhance their effectiveness, the UPDF and UPF, which are the main security agencies, should rebrandtheir organizational culture, leadership, and structure. Keywords: Media, security sector, Uganda, Broadcast, Reform

How frequently is alcohol advertised on television in Canada?: A cross-sectional study.

Alcohol marketing is a commercial driver of alcohol use, including among youth. This study sought to quantify and characterize alcohol advertising on broadcast television in Canada. Open-source television program logs for January to December 2018 submitted to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission by 147 stations with alcohol advertisements were analyzed. Overall, 501628 alcohol advertisements were broadcast. Four companies accounted for 83% of advertisements, namely, Anheuser-Busch in Bev (33.7%), Molson Coors (22.7%), Diageo (16.1%), and Arterra Wines Canada (10.8%). On conventional stations, advertising was highest on French-language stations [Median (Mdn) = 3224; interquartile range (IQR) = 2262] followed by those with programming in foreign/mixed languages (Mdn = 2679; IQR = 219) and English-language stations (Mdn = 1955; IQR = 1563). On speciality stations, advertising was most frequent on those primarily focused on sports programming (Mdn = 8036; IQR = 7393), movies and scripted shows (Mdn = 7463; IQR = 5937), and cooking (Mdn = 5498; IQR = 4032). On weekdays, 33% of alcohol ads aired from 6 to 9a.m. and 3 to 9p.m. and on weekends, 52% aired from 6a.m. to 9p.m. when children or adolescents are more likely to be watching television. On youth-oriented stations (n = 4), 7937 alcohol advertisements were broadcast with most airing from 9p.m. to midnight (44-45%) or 12-6a.m. (50%) on both weekdays and weekends. While few alcohol advertisements were broadcast on youth-oriented stations, young people in Canada are likely exposed to such advertising on programming intended for older or general audiences (e.g. sports). More research is needed to ascertain the extent to which broadcast television constitutes a source of alcohol advertising exposure among youth and to inform policies aimed at protecting them from the influence of such exposure.

The Role of Parents in Early Childhood Character Building in Bontoala Village, Pallangga District, Gowa Regency

Parents play a very important role in the process of forming children's character, the formation process carried out by parents is to focus on seeing how the child's condition and understanding their nature then parents are present to carry out their role of providing examples for children and being a good example. Early childhood character building in Bontoala Village, Pallangga District, Gowa Regency is quite good. Because looking at some of the children's characters, there are some that are really paid attention to by their parents, and there are also some others that are less noticed, ranging from habits at home and who their friends hang out with outside the home. And the supporting factors of parents in the formation of children's character are adequate facilities and infrastructure, a good environment, and support from the family. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors in the formation of children's character are television broadcasts and excessive use of mobile phones, children's pleasure in playing, busy parents, and the environment of friends.
