Mediacom recently installed a Cable AML digital link to dramatically improve the off-air signals in Sun City California. The links uses Cable AML’s Digital Headend Module.

Local-into-local DBS carriage of off-airs represents a serious competitive problem when the CATV operator suffers from less than perfect off-air pickup.

By using digital technology for transport, Cable AML provides a significant improvement in picture quality as well as an reduction in required microwave spectrum or an increase in signal carriage capability. Each Cable AML Digital Headend Module can digitize as many as six video programs into a single 6MHz channel for high quality transport over new or existing microwave links.
