Digital broadcasting is the most
advanced format of broadcasting, employing a new
technology for compression of audio and video signals which allows broadcasters to
transmit digital signals using existing terrestrial systems.
Due to this dramatic progress, new features of broadcasting service such as widescreen
formats and higher definition provide ways to experience the full benefits of digital
transmission.
Digital broadcasting overcomes problems experienced with analog TV such as ghosting,
"snowy" pictures and interference. Digital TV has a dramatic effect on these problems by its
very nature.
In addition, the number of channels available has dramatically increased, so that you can
make the best choice among the variety of programs anytime with a clear picture.
It is also possible to transmit multiple Standard Definition TV (SDTV*) programs within
the same bandwidth. Some data capacity can also be allocated to provide more effective
closed captioning or multiple language soundtracks.
Your current TV can be used for its entire
service life. This STB (Set Top Box) will
now make this
possible.
