MPEG2 manipulator
TV headends are used to feed analog and digital television into cable television networks. The main function of a TV headend is to convert television signals of any source technology (satellite radio, terrestric radio) into cable-specific formats.
Classic use cases are cable TV distribution systems of
- network operators such as Kabel-BW, United Media, Kabel-Deutschland, ...
- Hotels
- Barracks
- Cities and villages that need to provide cable TV to settlements where satellite dishes are prohibited.
