Multi-Channel Digital Broadcasting

Digital broadcasting offers the potential to meet broadcasters demands for greater numbers of channels as well as higher quality. In order for digital broadcasting to become a reality, the digital master control had to be built and large scale digital routing solutions had to be developed. For transparency to the operator, the first master control, described here, is the functional equivalent of an analogue version with added keying features. Various options for large scale digital routing are proposed and discussed. A system example of the hub and node router configuration is presented and the concept of virtual suites is introduced.
