With
digital cable, cable operators are able to offer greater
choice and quality than is possible with analog television.
JetBroadband uses digital technology to compress video
signals, allowing more than one program service to be
carried in the bandwidth space normally required for one
analog program service. Typically, the signal is sent to the
home and decompressed in the
set-top box for display on the
television.
Digital cable can provide a host
of new services, such as
video-on-demand, interactive television and commercial-free
CD-quality music. Digital television also allows cable
operators and program networks to offer high-definition
television (HDTV), which offers a movie theater-like viewing
experience,
complete with Dolby® Digital sound and a resolution of
either 1,280 or 1,920 active horizontal pixels by 720 or
1,080 active
scanning lines respectively.
