Author: Doug Garlinger, CPBE, 8-VSB, CBNT
This course provides a complete overview of the 8-VSB system. At the completion of this course, students can expect to have all the basic information needed to understand the nature of 8-VSB modulation and to recognize deficiencies in the transmitted signal. The information provided in this course will prove to be invaluable in installing, maintaining and operating a digital television transmitter facility. Todd Creamer, SBE Member in Marion, Illinois, said of the course, "After going through several other interactive courses since the SBE 8-VSB course, I can honestly say it is top notch in its course presentation. I do look forward to taking other courses as well."
