Digital TV Transmission Step 1: Camera records show in studio Step 2: antenna transmits digital broadcast Step 3: digital signal transmits through airwaves Step 4: home antenna receives signal Step 5: Television processes digital signals
5
Hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) Network Regional cable head (similar to cable office of CATV) Branches to multiple distribution hubs –High bidirectional bandwidth fiber with amplifiers Switches separate neighborhoods with fiber Which then converts to a coaxial cable
