Editing Broadcast engineering (section)

==Digital engineering==
The conversion to [[Digital data|digital]] broadcasting means broadcast engineers must now be well-versed in [[digital television]] and [[digital radio]], in addition to [[analog signal|analogue]] principles. New equipment from the transmitter to the [[radio antenna]] to the receiver may be encountered by engineers new to the field. Furthermore, modern techniques place a greater demand on an engineer's expertise, such as [[sharing]] [[broadcast tower]]s or [[radio antenna]]s among different stations ([[diplexing]]).

[[Digital audio]] and [[digital video]] have revolutionized broadcast engineering in many respects.<ref>[http://mhp-interactive.org/tutorial/dtv-intro/dtv-transmission.shtml Interactive TV Web.

[[Mixing console]]s for both [[Sound recording and reproduction|audio]] and [[video]] are continuing to become more digital in the 2000s, as is the [[computer storage]] used to keep digital media [[libraries]]. [[Insert (effects processing)|Effects processing]] and TV graphics can now be realized much more easily and professionally as well.

With the broadcast industry's shift to IP-based production and content delivery technology not only the production technology and workflows are changing, but also the requirements for broadcast engineers, which now include [[Information technology|IT]] and [[Internet Protocol|IP-networking]] know-how.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Tony|first1=Orme|title=Understanding IP Networks|url=https://www.thebroadcastbridge.com/content/entry/6303/understanding-ip-networks-introduction|website=thebroadcastbridge.com|date=15 July 2016|access-date=5 May 2017}}</ref>

Other devices used in broadcast engineering are [[telephone hybrid]]s, [[broadcast delay]]s, and [[dead air]] [[alarm]]s. See the [[Glossary of electrical and electronics engineering]] for further explanations.
