MATV System |
What does a MATV system do?A modern MATV system can carry analogue and digital TV signals through an aerial, both free-to-view and subscription, FM radio and DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) but it cannot carry satellite signals.MATV Systems and the Digital TV SwitchoverSome MATV systems in use today are over 30-years old and many are unsuitable for carrying digital TV signals. These will need to be surveyed and likely to require replacement to cope with the digital TV switchover.How MATV Systems worksIn a typical MATV system the aerial is a conventional UHF TV aerial, receiving both analogue and digital TV signals. Signals received by the aerial are then processed. In MATV systems that have not been modified to carry digital, it is usually this processing that restricts or prevents the digital TV signals from being handled correctly.A distribution network then delivers all television signals to a socket outlet in each household. There can be more than one outlet per household, but only one TV set can be connected to each outlet. matv system | matv systems | digital tv switchover |
