International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 29-November 02, 1990 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The concepts of modulation index and FM improvement are simple and straightforward when the modulating signals are sinesoidal. For a complex baseband waveform such as analog TV, the FM improvement may be seriously underestimated. A method for computer simulation of video waveforms and the resulting spectra are presented.

Com o sistema binário e a convergência digital das mídias, dispositivos de comunicação como celulares, computadores e até mesmo aparelhos receptores de televisão deixam de desempenhar apenas a função principal para a qual foram desenvolvidos e passam a se constituir, devido à interoperabilidade de sistemas e à internet, em meios para os quais confluem serviços e linguagens. Se olharmos especialmente para a televisão, notaremos imediatamente que a forma de vê-la ganha novos moldes. O aparelho separa-se do conteúdo. O sinal da TV deixa seu corpo físico e passa a navegar pelo horizonte binário. Ela fica, assim, emancipada do seu corpo material - o aparelho televisor -, e pode ser acompanhada em outras plataformas e dispositivos, aumentando, desse modo, a sua difusão e as possibilidades de canal de retorno para emissores e receptores. Esta pesquisa acompanha o cenário de implantação da TV digital no Brasil e no mundo e reflete acerca das influências e transformações trazidas ao cotidiano da sociedade e aos espaços públicos pelo sistema digital e pela internet. A tese foi estruturada em cinco capítulos, que perpassam diferentes aspectos relacionados à televisão: a sua história e cronologia, os princípios tecnológicos que regem o seu funcionamento, as linguagens que a caracterizam, a sua colocação no cenário convergente e a sua influência no cotidiano das pessoas. No trabalho, trago o resultado de um estudo de caso realizado no ano de 2014, durante um Estágio de Pesquisa no Exterior na Universidade Sapienza de Roma e uma visita técnica às universidades de Brighton e Portsmouth. Essa etapa da pesquisa permitiu-me conhecer in loco o panorama atual desses países, dois anos após a conclusão do switch off, analisar a relação dos italianos e ingleses com a mídia televisiva e com as outras mídias de comunicação digital e a relação/abertura das suas emissoras televisivas para com as novas modalidades de transmissão de conteúdos nas plataformas digitais. Para isso, além buscar fontes bibliográficas, entrevistei pesquisadores e profissionais da área de radiodifusão e telecomunicações que participaram diretamente do processo de transição analógico-digital da TV. Na tese, também faço o relato de uma pesquisa de campo realizada na zona leste de São Paulo, desenvolvida em conjunto com educadores e educandos do Intermídia Cidadã, um coletivo pertencente ao Núcleo de Comunicação Comunitária da Fundação Tide Setubal. A experiência, realizada com base na Produção Partilhada do Conhecimento, serviu para divulgar a chegada da televisão digital e do apagão analógico, refletir sobre os conteúdos da TV aberta brasileira e observar as possibilidades trazidas pela TV digital para o exercício da comunicação comunitária. A pesquisa, de cunho qualitativo e quantitativo, empregou os métodos de procedimento experimental e comparativo e levantou dados através de questionário, entrevistas em áudio e vídeo, oficinas, debates e consultas bibliográficas. Dentre os autores citados, posso destacar: Mikhail Bakhtin, Lúcia Santaella, Sérgio Bairon, Arlindo Machado, Jesús Martín-Barbero, Gérman Rey, Nicholas Negroponte, Arlindo Machado, Eugênio Bucci, Manuel Castells, Clay Shriky, Henry Jenkins, Alberto Marinelli, Néstor García Canclini, Almir Almas, Jay David Bolter, Richard Grusin, Walter Benjamin, Rafael Ruiz e Márcia Tiburi. / With the emergence of the binary system and the convergence of digital media, communication devices such as cellular phones, computers and even television receivers have now taken on more than just the main functions for which each was developed.

If one was to focus entirely on television, it can be observed that television watching has now received new forms. The device itself is separate from the content. The TV signal moves away from its physical form and begins to navigate on the binary field.

It also gave me the opportunity to analyze the relationship of the Italians and the English with television media, as well as with other digital communications media and the relationship/opening of the television transmitters of each country to new transmission modalities of content on digital platforms. In order to perform this leg of the research, in addition to searching in bibliographical sources, I interviewed researchers and professionals of the radio broadcasting and telecommunications fields, who had directly participated in the analogue-digital TV transition process.

It was also useful to consider the content of public TV in Brazil and to analyze the possibilities now available through digital TV for community communication. This research, of qualitative and quantitative intent, applied comparative and experimental methods and collected data through surveys, audio and video interviews, workshops, debates and bibliographic research.

Ce travail de recherche doctoral en sciences de l'information et de la communication propose d'appréhender un média, la télévision, en France, au printemps 2005. Cette période correspond à un épisode de mutation qui voit l'ancienne télévision analogique migrer vers un environnement numérique et informatique. Notre propos cherche à explorer la notion de média en articulant trois dimensions : le contexte, le discours et le format. Il s'agit d'explorer des mécanismes qui configurent les pratiques médiatiques, au printemps 2005, à travers : la définition d'un contexte d'innovation technique, l'analyse de discours d'actualité qui affirment des lignes éditoriales et enfin, la valorisation de la programmation et la conception de formats de programmes qui intègrent la culture numérique. Les objets construits au cours de cette recherche sont des formes médiatiques, composées de codes identifiables et marquées par le contexte culturel de leur production. En tant que pratique médiatique, la programmation télévisuelle est transversale. Elle assure une continuité entre les trois dimensions : le contexte dans lequel elle est agencée, les discours qui la prennent pour objet, enfin, les codes et formats télévisuels qu'elle intègre. Notre projet consiste à étudier la programmation télévisuelle comme un objet médiatique complexe, configuré par les enjeux techniques, industriels et économiques liés à la diffusion d'une innovation. Ainsi, dans une première partie, les modalités de la médiatisation des choix de programmation seront appréhendées en observant les discours d'actualité produits et diffusés le 31 mars 2005, à l'occasion du lancement en France de la télévision numérique terrestre. La nature éditoriale du média télévision, et la programmation comme objet de discours d'autopromotion seront mises en évidence. Puis, dans une deuxième partie, les nouvelles formes de la médiation de la programmation seront examinées à travers un corpus web, composé des pages des sites des chaînes de télévision pré-numériques. / "Discurses on innovation and broadcast programming mediations. Television in the digital age". This doctoral research in information and communication sciences (Media Studies) offers to understand the functional behaviour of a media, the television, in France, during the spring 2005. This period corresponds to an episode of change that sees the old analog TV migrate to a digital environment. Our work seeks to explore the notion of media articulating three dimensions : context, discourse and format. This is to explore mechanisms that shape media practices in the spring of 2005, through : the definition of a technical innovation context, the analysis of the news discourse which affirms editorial strategies and finally, the development of broadcast programming and programs designs that incorporate the digital culture. The objects built in this research are media forms, composed of identifiable codes and marked by the cultural context of their production. As a media practice, television programming is transversal. It ensures continuity between the three dimensions: the context in which it is arranged, the speeches which are intended, finally, the television codes and formats that are integrated. Our project is to study broadcast programming as a complex media object, configured by the technical, industrial and economic issues related to the diffusion of an innovation. Thus, in a first part, the terms of the media coverage of the scheduling choices will be understood by observing the news discourses produced and distributed on March the 31st 2005, at the launching in France of the digital terrestrial television. The editorial nature of television, and the broadcast programming as an object of discourse of self-promotion will be highlighted. Then, in a second part, the new mediation forms of scheduling will be examined through a web corpus, consisting of pre-digital broadcasters web pages.
