Electronic Engineering Times via Individual Inc. : Washington - The rollout
of a U.S. digital TV infrastructure is picking up steam as broadcasters on
both coasts announced deployment plans.
WCBS in New York announced last week it will purchase a digital TV
transmitter and broadband antenna from Harris Corp.'s Broadcast Division
(Quincy, Ill.) for its experimental high-definition TV station. The
experimental station, WCBS-HD will begin transmitting digital TV signals
this spring. "We need to see how digital television transmissions are
effected by the buildings in a canyon city," said Robert Ross, CBS vice
president for engineering and operations.
Another experimental high-definition TV station in Seattle began
transmitting signals on Jan. 20. ABC affiliate KOMO-TV became the first West
Coast station to broadcast signals under an experimental license.
Experimental stations in Washington and Raleigh, N.C., are already on the
air.
KOMO is using a digital TV transmitter supplied Larcan Inc. and an antenna
made by Dielectric Communications. Digital modulation, demodulation and
decoding equipment was supplied by Zenith Electronics Corp. (Glenview, Ill.)
