About the session
Regardless of whether IPTV or classic cable TV is used to transport data or signals, millions of people depend on single cable heads. This becomes especially crucial in TV mass broadcasting such as World Cups - preferably received in HDTV format - worldwide. But what if the screen suddenly goes black because of a failure in the RF signal transmission chain? There will be no pleasure in HDTV for the end user without assured quality of signals. High availability of RF signals for broadcasting can, however, only be ensured if the transmission system for the RF signals is able to compensate for variances and degradations of the RF signals on their way from the satellite to the receiver of a head-end. Using fewer devices with optimised functionality helps considerably to manage systems more easily. Transmission of RF signals over fibre makes systems more resistant against electrical interference. This presentation will lead you through the pitfalls of what may happen during RF signal transmission between air and receiver and how the right RF signal transmission products can prevent and compensate for failures and protect your RF signal transmission path all the way.
