The Opportunities of Signal Monitoring in a Large Serial Digital Plant
When faced with the technical planning of a digital television facility, signal monitoring is a topic that appears at first to be of low priority. This was the case in NBC while structuring the initial plans of operation in a digital plant. Our first assumptions were that we could use waveform, vector and picture monitors similar to that used today. Perhaps a minor modification would be required to convert the serial digital data stream to an analog waveform. The analog waveform can then be displayed on the same type of CRTs that are presently used. As a result of further research we became alarmed at the extra cost the additional circuitry would incur.
