11.04.02 Infocommunication Technologies and Communication Systems. Media Technologies and TV-Radio Broadcasting
Presentation of Master's program
In addition to audiovisual equipment and digital television, in their classical sense, the Master's program includes all modern aspects of encoding and media data transition media via the Internet, mobile operator networks, wireless and IP networks. The program is aimed at in-depth training of specialists in the field of formation, coding, transmission, and distribution of digital television and audio broadcasting programs. Specific attention is paid to the DVB-T2 standard, issues of media broadcasting in standard, high and ultra-high definition over terrestrial, satellite, IP networks. The program also focuses on interactive media broadcasting systems, Internet broadcasting, and channelling equipment. The programme also includes disciplines aimed at developing of media products production skills: working with professional video equipment to obtain video and audio materials, and their subsequent editing. Additionally, among the topics covered are the issues of: video streams intelligent processing with the use of computer vision algorithms; concert and theatre venues media support with the use of generative graphics and 3D technologies; formation and transmission of video data in panoramic video (360 °); and virtual and mixed reality systems.
The program also focuses on issues of: national and international radio frequency resources use regulation; electromagnetic compatibility of radio electronic means; assessment of transmitter maintenance areas; measurement of transmitter radiation parameters that affect electromagnetic compatibility; and algorithms of radio radiation sources location tracking.
