Signal processing in general has greatly changed during the last fifteen years and it will change even more in the coming years. What was earlier viewed as digital signal processing now forms only a small part of the new concept of signal processing which might be more adequately described as the methods of analyzing, manipulating and presenting natural information. The new communication and imaging technologies have vastly increased the capabilities of individuals to interact with the surrounding world in a multimodal way, and the recent advances in biology, such as microarrays, have opened ways to a true understanding of biological processes. The future of signal processing is in developing techniques that enable natural interaction using modalities that are most natural for a human, and in developing modelling tools for biological systems. The key to success, however, is in combining new visions with strong theoretical foundations and understanding the needs of practical implementations.

multiplexes are received from satellite and terrestrial broadcast by distribution servers. There are six servers, each with five receiver cards. The servers extract transport streams of TV programs and send them over the network in IP multicast. The tests indicate that the system performs well with about 50 television streams broadcasted to many users. The Digital Media Laboratory has been also equipped with a system for generating digital television service based on the Multimedia Home Platform (MHP) standard. This system is composed of a MHP application generator, a Transport Stream generator and a QPSK modulator making it possible to watch MHP applications on a set-top box. The presentation room of Digital Media Laboratory has high-resolution plasma displays and an LCD projector. The system is fully integrated and it is operational.
