Semi-automated mobile television interactive application generation based on XHTML and Java ME

Liu, Moxian January 2011 (has links)
Mobile Digital TV (MDTV), the hybrid of Digital Television (DTV) and mobile devices (such as mobile phones), has introduced a new way for people to watch DTV and has brought new opportunities for development in the DTV industry. Nowadays, the development of the next generation MDTV service has progressed in terms of both hardware layers and software, with interactive services/applications becoming one of the future MDTV service trends. However, current MDTV interactive services still lack in terms of attracting the consumers and the service creation and implementation process relies too much on commercial solutions, resulting in most parts of the process being proprietary. In addition, this has increased the technical demands for developers as well as has increased substantially the cost of producing and maintaining MDTV services. In light of the aforementioned situation, the Thesis has contributed to this field, by proposing an innovative MDTV service creation and consumption system based on XHTML and Java ME. On the head-end it introduces a semi-automatic creation mechanism to facilitate a less technical and more efficient interactive service creation process. This enables designers and creative individuals to be actively involved in the MDTV service creation process and to develop interactive-rich MDTV service. On the client-end it employs an open-source software environment as the interactive service MDTV consumption platform, rendering the MDTV service implementation process as less proprietary as possible. Furthermore, the Thesis offers a discussion on the different MDTV interactive application models currently used and based on the proposed software, a novel MDTV service presentation method is further introduced and adopted instead of the Rich Media and ECMAScript based methods. Finally, a series of qualitative testing procedures have been implemented with regards to conducting an essential evaluation on the operability of the proposed software system.

Televisionen i förändring : En närstudie av SVT Play / The changing face of television : A case study of SVT Play

Sonestedt, Tobias January 2016 (has links)
I denna uppsats tittar jag närmare på webb-tv och hur användningen av detta medium har utvecklats under de senaste åren. Jag har valt att studera SVT Play eftersom de är störst och att SVT var först av de stora tv-kanalerna i Sverige med en play-tjänst. Med hjälp av Jay David Bolters och Richard Grusins teser kring remediering, Marshall McLuhans filosofiska grunder kring medier, kopplar jag ihop dagens användning av webben som ett tv-medium tillsammans med Pelle Snickars teorier som ger en nutida svensk kontext. Huvuddelen av uppsatsen består av en analys av webb-tv-statistik från 2011 fram till och med första kvartalet 2016. Majoriteten av statistiken kommer från MMS som ansvarar för tv- och webb-tv-mätningar i Sverige. Uppsatsens statistikgenomgång görs utifrån ett helårsperspektiv, månadsperspektiv och ett programspecifikt perspektiv. Programmet jag valt är På spåret och hur webb-tv- publiken till detta program förändrats sedan 2011. Här gör jag även en jämförelse med linjär-tv-tittandet för att se om respektive medium påverkar det andra. På spåret har under de senaste fem säsongerna haft en stabil tv-publik via linjär-tv, med ett tittarsnitt på omkring 2,5 miljoner per avsnitt. Webb-tv-tittandet har däremot ökat kraftigt från och med 2013, vilket samtidigt visar att det är ett medium som kommer att fortsätta växa under de närmsta åren.

Säger en bild mer än tusen ord? : En kvalitativ studie av deltagarna i TV-programmet Paradise Hotel utifrån ett genusperspektiv

Imsirovic, Asmirelda, Nilsen Bierlich, Alessandra January 2016 (has links)
Paradise Hotel is a popular reality-show which can be viewed in many countries. The first Swedish version aired year 2005. Since then Paradise Hotel has expanded and been written about in the media in respect of the participants’ behavior. We considered this an interesting subject to study and understand what might actually be happening inside the hotel. The purpose of this study was to examine and seek an understanding of the participants in Paradise Hotel season 2014 from a gender perspective. The research question guiding this study was: How is masculinity and femininity constructed on the reality-show Paradise Hotel? The study was conducted through a semiotic analysis where episodes from the season were transcribed with focus from our theories about gender, masculinity and femininity. The result of the study showed that the participants were constructed differently to what the theories told us about how male and female are socially constructed. A more accepting approach was shown towards men when having multiple sexual relationships. Men have also applied a more socially constructed female quality in forms of showing feelings, like crying and being vulnerable. There is a template for how a man should look like in Paradise Hotel, but according to the women men do not achieve this. The women show qualities like dominance, being independent and having the courage to stand up for themselves and make decisions on their own, which is seen like a socially constructed male equality.

"Are you mad 'cause you couldn't get hard?" : En narrativ analys av huvudkaraktären Hannah Horvath i TV-serien Girls ur ett genus-och (post)feministiskt perspektiv.

Killander, Susanna January 2016 (has links)
Medieinnehåll bidrar till uppfattningen om hur man som kvinna är och bör vara. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur den kvinnliga huvudkaraktären Hannah Horvath framställs i Girls säsong 5. Detta för att se hur hennes femininitet kommer till uttryck genom vänner, kärlek, sexualitet och karriär. Vidare kommer att utläsas hur hon utmanar samt knyter an till den traditionella bilden av kvinnor i TV.  Uppsatsen använder sig av en narrativ analysmetod hämtad från How to Study Television (1995), som specialiserar sig på hur man studerar innehållet i TV och TV-serier. Analysen kommer att göras utifrån ett genus-och (post)feministiskt perspektiv för att möjiiggöra utläsningen av traditionella och stereotypa egenskaper, attribut samt beteenden kopplat till femininitet och kvinnor. Analysen består av sex scener från sex olika avsnitt ur den femte säsongen av Girls. Analysen har visat hur karaktären Hannah Horvath både utmanar och knyter an till traditionellt framställda bilder av kvinnor i TV. Detta genom att hennes karaktär tillskriver sig, samt skapar en dialektisk relation mellan både maskulint och feminint förväntade egenskaper och beteenden. Utöver följande aspekter går det att utläsa att Hannah Horvath uttrycker sig både inom feministiska, och postfeministiska ramverk.

The role of satellite TV channels as news sources in Libya : a study of university students

Elareshi, Mokhtar Hassan January 2012 (has links)
The Libyan media has dramatically changed in recent years. This has been most prominently manifest in the introduction of new satellite television news services. This thesis was designed to investigate two elements – patterns of news media consumption and news credibility in Libya. It examined the patterns of major local and international TV news services operating across different media, broadcast and print, and associations between Libyan students’ consumption of different news media platforms. In this context, it investigated the news consumption habits of young people, with special attention paid to their consumption of pan-Arab news services broadcast via satellite television. It looked at the perception of gratifications students obtained from these news services. It also reported findings on students’ perceptions of the credibility of two local, Al Jamahiriya and Al Libiya TV, and two pan-Arab TV news services, Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya. In order to address the thesis research questions, a survey was administered to a sample of 400 undergraduate students at Al-Fateh University using a stratified random sampling approach, with the sampling strata set by demographic variables. The study found that the new TV news services played an important role in attracting young Libyans with information they desire. The spread of new news media sources (television, radio and print) in Libya has created a new type of customer that transcends national boundaries. Statistical analyses indicated that there are distinct news consumption demographic differences defined in part by news platform (TV versus radio versus print) and in part by the type of news provider (local versus non-local TV news services). The findings were discussed in relation to the growing impact of international satellite broadcast news services and the need for local TV news services to find methods of making themselves distinctive in a way that provides an alternative but still relevant and valued news sources. With regard to news credibility, in general Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya were given higher credibility scores than Al Jamahiriya and Al Libiya news services. Higher credibility ratings, however, were significantly correlated with an increased likelihood of reported watching of both local TV news services, but only one of the pan-Arab TV news services (Al Jazeera).

Arquimedia: uma proposta de arquitetura de software para terminais de acesso à TV digital interativa. / Arquimedia: a set-top-box software architecture proposal to interactive digital TV.

Hira, Celio 02 April 2008 (has links)
Os sistemas de televisão digital terrestre têm se estabelecido e expandido em várias regiões do mundo. A expectativa é de que 1,4 bilhão de televisores analógicas sejam substituídas por televisores e receptores digitais, também conhecidos como terminais de acesso. Daí a importância destes dispositivos que recebem e decodificam o sinal digital. Diante da diversidade de plataformas de hardware de diferentes fabricantes e perfis de terminais de acesso, existe a necessidade de um alto investimento para criar e desenvolver aplicações e software intermediário (Middleware) na medida em que existe a necessidade de diferentes códigos-fontes para cada uma das plataformas. Além desta fragmentação de implementações por conta das várias plataformas de hardware, existe a demanda crescente por desempenho e por soluções com um conjunto maior de funções. Para endereçar a estas questões, existem organizações, iniciativas e tecnologias emergentes em sistemas embarcados multimídia, algumas delas baseadas em componentes de software, que estão consolidando técnicas que podem ser aplicadas à estrutura de software de um terminal de acesso, dentre as quais destacamos a UHAPI, o M3W, o OpenMAX, a IOS e o GStreamer. Esta dissertação apresenta uma proposta de arquitetura de software denominada Arquimedia com base em uma análise comparativa destes trabalhos. Foram realizados e analisados ensaios de desempenho parciais para a validação da proposta. / The terrestrial digital television systems have been established and expanded by the worldwide. It is expected that 1.4 billion analog TV sets will be replaced by set-topboxes and digital receivers TV sets, also known as access terminals. This fact shows the relevance of these devices that receive and decode the digital signals. Given the diversity of the hardware platforms of different manufacturers and different set-topboxes profiles, there is a need for a major investment to create and develop applications and Middleware because for each hardware platform, different source codes need to be developed. Beside the fragmentation of implementations resulted by the diversity of hardware platforms, there is an increasing demand for performance and solutions with more functions. To address these questions, there are organizations, initiatives and emerging technologies, some of them based on software components, that are consolidating techniques that can be applied to the software stack of a set-top-box, from among we emphasize the UHAPI, M3W, IOS and GStreamer. This master thesis deals a comparative analysis of these technologies and presents a set-top-box software architecture proposal called Arquimedia. Performance tests were made and analyzed to validate the proposal.

Sintonizador-demodulador para o sistema brasileiro de TV digital. / Front-end of the Brazilian Digital TV system.

Bedicks Junior, Gunnar 30 June 2008 (has links)
O sintonizador-demodulador de RF, também chamado de Front End, é definido de uma forma geral como sendo o conjunto ou módulo que está entre a antena e o sistema digital. Para um receptor isto inclui todos os filtros, amplificadores de baixo ruído, misturadores e demoduladores, necessários para processar o sinal modulado recebido na antena, demodulá-lo e entregá-lo em um fluxo de bits (Transport Stream) para o sistema digital de decodificação, também conhecido com Back End. Por esta razão o sintonizador-demodulador é muitas vezes chamado de conversor RF para TS (Rádio Freqüência para Transport Stream). Por ser o primeiro bloco, o Front End é a parte mais importante, e também a mais crítica de qualquer receptor contribuindo muito para o seu bom ou mau desempenho. Esta tese investigou os problemas existentes e que degradam a qualidade do sinal nas transmissões de TV analógica; os testes realizados pelo laboratório de TV Digital do Mackenzie comparando os padrões de transmissão dos sistemas de TV Digital, ATSC, DVB-T e ISDB-T; o modelo proposto e adotado pelo Sistema Brasileiro de TV Digital; e propôs um modelo de sintonizador-demodulador para o SBTVD, que atendesse as necessidades do sistema com robustez e flexibilidade. O sintonizador-demodulador foi desenvolvido, projetado, montado e testado no laboratório e no campo para avaliar a sua eficiência. / The RF front end is generally defined as everything between the antenna and the digital baseband system. For a receiver, it includes all the filters, low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), down-conversion mixers and demodulator needed to process the modulated signals received at the antenna into signals suitable for input into the baseband analog-to-digital converter (ADC), demodulate it and feed with a Transport Stream the Back End part of the system to decode the signal. For this reason, the RF front end is often called the RF-to-TS portion of a receiver. It turns out that this is the most important and critical part of the whole receiver aiming for its good or bad performance. This thesis researched the existing problems that degenerate the analog TV transmission quality; the digital TV tests realized by Mackenzie DTV laboratory comparing the digital TV transmission standards, ATSC, DVB-T and ISDB-T; the proposed and adopted model for the Brazilian Digital TV System; and a proposal of a Front End for the SBTVD that meets the requirements of the system with robustness and flexibility. The Front End was designed, assembled and tested in the DTV laboratory and in the field.
