Backdrop Info:
Rapid growth in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) demands digitization of all
fields that use signaling and communication. All analog systems are replaced to work on digital logics
and technology systems. Television (TV) is also one of the core technology areas where migration to
digital transmission happened over terrestrial and cable networks. A standard developed early in 1990 in
USA for the digital TV version is Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC). Tuners designed to
receive the Digital transmission on ATSC format are called ATSC tuners and by law it was made
mandatory from March 1st of 2007, in US to provide ATSC tuners in all the consumer electronic devices
like TVs, VCRs, DVD and Blu-ray players and this is due the television stations ceased the analog (NTSC)
transmission from 12th June of 2009.
Migration to digital:
There was a question, whether one should throw away the analog TV and go for HD TV or a digital TV
system. Here comes the ATSC+SDI (Serial Data Interface) tuner to save your analog TV intact and
migrate to receive digital signals in the analog TV with the ATSC+SDI performing the conversion of the
analog signal into digital signals. Viewers can watch shows with the same old picture quality...
Features of ATSC+SDI
This tuners has a built in HD-SDI output that no separate adapters are required for watching digital
transmission in a TV set.
