Design Considerations for Serial Digital Television Systems

With the move to serial digital television systems, different design considerations are necessary. New devices are required that were not necessary in analog systems. They include serializers, deserializers, D to A converters, A to D converters, multiplexers, demultiplexers, frame delays, line delays, audio delays, serial component digital to composite digital converters, serial composite digital to component digital converters, to name a few. — Additional considerations often must be made to allow mixed analog/digital operation, with a gradual transition to full digital. — This paper describes the considerations that need to be made when designing a digital television plant. The serial digital routing switcher plays a key role in determining the optimum system for each facility.
