Component Block Diagram - Details

The overall ideas behind this combination system are:

 

  • The operator/facility is reliant on the free off-air signals

  • The operator/facility can immediately upgrade to take advantage of the signal quality

    improvements offered by the digital transmission

  • The operator/facility can keep using their existing analog viewing locations by converting

  • The digital off-air (8VSB) transmission back to analog

  • The operator/facility will also have the digital off-air (8VSB) signal available for HD viewing

    Digital Off-Air (8VSB) Reception - Digital Off-Air (8VSB) Viewing

Functionality

This his system is designed as an example of how to deploy two of the prior individual solutions to support both analog and digital viewing locations. The two solutions we are referring to are the Digital Off-Air (8VSB) Reception - Digital Off-Air (8VSB) Viewing (Scenario 1) and the Digital Off-Air (8VSB) Reception - Analog Viewing (Scenario 2).  Please see the individual solutions for their detailed descriptions and explanation
