The paper deals with the utilization of Matlab for simulation and analysis of the digital image transmission and transmission distortions in DTV (Digital Television) and DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) area. The simulation model that covers selected phenomena of DVB standard baseband signal processing applied in Matlab is presented and features of the protection against transmission errors are outlined. The practical results of FEC (Forward Error Correction) codes efficiency are presented and at the end the GUI application for experimental simulation and education is outlined with a simulation example
