Toner Cable RX8320 User Manual

As local terrestrial broadcasters begin to phase out their analog broad­casts 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 infra­structure. 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 V­Chip program rating information into the analog video outputs.

RX8320 ATSC Broadcast Receiver

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Easy Migration to ATSC Digital Terrestrial Reception

The RX8320 is specifically designed to smooth the ATSC
broadcast transition for cable, telco and satellite operators
who re-transmit the local broadcast channels.

Complete Interoperability

The RX8320 ATSC Broadcast Receiver offers full translation
capability between digital signaling and analog services. By
offering automatic picture aspect ratio conversion and signal­ing via AFD and bar data, the RX8320 ensures that
widescreen HD video is correctly displayed when down-con­verted to 4:3 SD video. Full support is provided to ensure that
closed captions, TV Guide data and program rating (V-Chip)
services continue to be supported.

Peace of Mind

Ericsson is a leading provider of ATSC broadcast headends
and professional integrated receiver decoder (IRD) products
worldwide. This in-depth knowledge and experience ensures
that the RX8320 delivers the high quality and reliability on
which broadcasters and service operators alike depend.
