Toner Cable RX8320 ATSC Broadcast Receiver - Manual

As local terrestrial broadcasters begin to phase out their analog broad-
casts and transition to an all digital environment, the need to maintain
access to the viewing public becomes critical. In many cases, viewers
receive these broadcasts through cable, telco or satellite operators who
either provide an analog transmission to their subscribers or provide a
digital means for their subscribers to receive these local channels. The
Ericsson RX8320 ATSC broadcast receiver is specifically designed to
enable a simple, reliable solution to the ATSC broadcast transition for
these operators.
The RX8320 provides both ASI and 8VSB inputs for reception of the broadcast services over terrestrial or fiber links. It then
provides a pass-through capability so that operators can carry the digital signals all the way to a subscriber’s home.
To support analog TV delivery the RX8320 also provides video decode capability with high quality composite output and
audio decode capability, including 5.1 multi-channel to stereo down-mixing, to allow easy interfacing into the existing infra-
structure. Any high definition (HDTV) digital TV service can be down-converted for analog SD delivery. Automatic picture
aspect ratio conversion is performed based on any active format description (AFD) and bar data present on the incoming
digital TV service. Legal and regulatory requirements are also fulfilled by the RX8320 for the transition of ATSC broadcast
services into analog TV delivery, with the extraction and insertion of closed captions, Nielsen data, TV Guide data, and V-
Chip program rating information into the analog video outputs.
