Television providers are working together to test how NEXTGEN TV signals could best be transmitted by cable TV systems
Broadcasters supporting the Phoenix, Arizona Model Market project for NEXTGEN TV along with broadcaster group Pearl TV today announced that they have begun initial testing of NEXTGEN TV over limited cable infrastructure, through a cooperative effort with Comcast. NEXTGEN TV is utilizing ATSC 3.0, the landmark technology now being deployed across the country that is designed to merge over-the-air with over-the top TV content.
The Phoenix Model Market Partners are now working closely with Comcast in Portland, Oregon to explore how to deliver NEXTGEN TV services to Comcast s infrastructure in an effort that will require significant technical collaboration. This work could give the industry a foundation for a real world technical example of how to transmit ATSC 3.0 over hybrid fiber-coaxial infrastructure.
