THX System to Control HDTVs

DTV Star — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:22:08 +0000

To paraphrase Will Rogers, I never metadata that I didn’t like. And I like the new metadata system that THX has created. Known primarily for their cinema sound certification, THX has also been very active in trying to make sure that the movie experience in the living room is as good as possible. Their latest initiative, THX Media Director, has been to create a metadata system that can be encoded along with a television signal, so that your HDTV can automatically adjust key settings in response to the signal requirements.

What does this mean? One of the simplest examples is that there is a metadata code for 2D versus 3D signals. The embedded code can switch the TV into the appropriate mode. The system can handle much more than this, however. It also can automatically control color space settings, surround sound, and aspect ratio.

Now, the problem is that there is a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation here. The content producers won’t put the metadata into the signal until there are enough set top boxes and HDTVs installed that can interpret it. And the set top boxes and HDTVs won’t add the ability to interpret the codes until they’re included in the signal.

Still, it would probably be a good thing if the two ends of the chain could get together and implement this system. Having seen so many HDTVs with the wrong settings, a system that could adjust automatically could be a major improvement.

How to Understand the Domain Name System

How to understand the Domain Name System

By Clare Lawrence 13th August 2004

Ever wonder why DNS systems came into existence? Efficiency. Every computer has a distinct IP address, and the Internet needed an elite method for obtaining these addresses and for managing the system as a whole. Enter ICANN.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Number manages the DNS root of the Internet domain namespace. ICANN's role is to manage the assignment of identifiers, ensuring that all users have unique names.

The DNS system is run by a series of servers called DNS servers. ICANN manages the root DNS domains, under which are the top-level domains.

It also manages:

Organizational domains

Geographical domains

Reverse domains

Beneath the top-level domains are other naming authorities such as Nominet, the UK's naming authority.

How does a DNS Query work?

The process occurs in two parts. Firstly, a name query begins at a client computer and is passed to DNS client service for resolution. When the query cannot be resolved locally, DNS servers are queried.

For example, when a web browser calls the fully qualified Article Source: http://www.articlealley.com/how-to-understand-the-domain-name-system-1.html

Asterisk: The Future of Telephony, 2nd Edition

DTV Star — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 17:22:29 +0000

This bestselling book is now the standard guide to building phone systems with Asterisk, the open source IP PBX that has traditional telephony providers running scared! Revised for the 1.4 release of the software, the new edition of Asterisk: The Future of Telephony reveals how you can save money on equipment and support, and finally be in control of your telephone system.

If you've worked with telephony in the past, you're familiar with the problem: expensive and inflexible systems that are tuned to the vendor's needs, not yours. Asterisk isn't just a candle in the darkness, it's a whole fireworks show. Because Asterisk is so powerful, configuring it can seem tricky and difficult. This book steps you through the process of installing, configuring, and integrating Asterisk with your existing phone system.

You'll learn how to write dialplans, set up applications including speech synthesis and voice recognition, how to script Asterisk, and much more -- everything you need to design a simple but complete system with little or no Asterisk experience, and no more than rudimentary telecommunications knowledge. The book includes:

A new chapter on managing/administering your Asterisk system
A new chapter on using Asterisk with databases
Coverage of features in Asterisk 1.4
A new appendix on dialplan functions
A simplified installation chapter
New simplified SIP configuration, including examples for several popular SIP clients (soft phones and IP telephones)
Revised chapters and appendicies reviewed and updated for the latest in features, applications, trends and best-practices

Asterisk is revolutionizing the telecom industry, due in large part to the way it gets along with other network applications. While other PBXs are fighting their inevitable absorption into the network, Asterisk embraces it. If you need to take control of your telephony systems, move to Asterisk and see what the future of telecommunications looks like.
