Multicom's Website Tackles Digital
Transition
Confusion Reigns - The digital
Transition has everyone scratching their heads
Orlando, FL - Because we are
hard-wired to react rather than be proactive, many of us tend to
ignore the inevitable until the reality of a deadline hits us square
in the face. Digital Transition?
February 17, 2009? Heck, that’s not
for another 250 days, says the myriad of countdown clocks on
websites throughout our industry. That’s a lot of time to figure the
whole thing out… or is it?
Because every application has its own
scenario and because every scenario has its roots in reality – every
scenario has a logical solution. That’s a fact. But because
scenarios differ, everyone thinks that theirs is unique. The truth
is, almost all of the possible Digital Transition scenarios fall
into simple categories. Once these categories are discovered, the
solutions reveal themselves and the first-step to find the solution
become easier to visualize and implement.
Multicom understands this and has
come up with an easy way for cable operators to discover what
scenario they are dealing with, and how best to resolve the
situation, all within 250 days. The scenarios are listed on the
Multicom website with block diagrams and component information that
tackle the Digital Transition head-on while providing reliable
solutions.
By breaking down each scenario into
the two major components: reception and viewing location, a cable
operator can see what’s necessary to make the transition. As an
example: If reception is Digital Off-Air, and the viewing location
is an analog TV set, and you are converting the signal at the
headend – what do you do? What if you are converting the signal at
the TV set? Each of these scenarios are defined and then examined –
and a resolution is suggested.
The Digital Transition Guide is also
available on CD and will be sent out for free.
Headquartered in Orlando, FL and
maintaining sales offices, rep agencies and sub-distributors
