Hello, I'm latifah nuraida febrianti, I'm a student from the national university batch 2020 and majoring in communication scienceTelevision is a means of capturing picture broadcasts.The word television comes from the words tele (far) and vision (appears) so television has the meaning of being able to see from a distance. The invention of television was able to change world civilization.All television pictures are formed by a single point of light that moves back and forth, front-back or up-down, quickly on a television screen that is invisible to the eye, so that what is visible is only a series of images.In 1884 Paul Nipkow came up with the idea of ​​scanning an image by breaking it up into a series of points of light that move linearly across viewing angles.Television signals work like AM radio, except in the high-frequency carrier interface.On the radio from big sound to soft while television from light to dark.The television set is synchronized with the transmitter to produce the exact pattern of a pixel to be placed on the screen.Television is transmitted with two frequency bands, VHF (very high frequency) and UHF (ultrahigh frequency), and each channel has an overall bandwidth of up to 6 MHz.The first television networks used coaxial cable and microwave technology.In the 1970s satellite became the standard for connecting cable and broadcast networks to their affiliates and for transmitting local news and sports events to the central news agency.Currently, fiber optic networks are also used. Lately, we may often hear the term Digital TV.But don't get me wrong first, here it doesn't mean that the TV set is digital, but rather the signal that is sent, is a digital signal or maybe a digital broadcast (Digital Broadcasting) is more accurate.Digital TV broadcasting system is the application of digital technology to the TV broadcasting system which was developed in the mid 90's and tested in 2000. At the beginning of the operation of this digital system, TV broadcasts were generally carried out by Simulcast or broadcast together with broadcasts.analog as a transition period.At the same time testing the system to get the results of implementing the most economical Digital TV broadcasting according to the needs of the operating country. TVRI and national private TV who are members of the Indonesian Digital TV Consortium (KTDI);SCTV, TV One, ANTV, Metro TV, and Trans Corp have utilized broadcasting technology systems with digital technology, especially in studio system systems for producing programs, editing, recording and storing data.The transmission of image, voice and data signals has been using a digital transmission system using satellites which are generally used as Pay TV broadcasts.And to capture Digital TV broadcasts, you must use an additional tool called a Setup Box (Decoder) for analog television sets (which exist today).At the BIMTEK which was held on July 21, 2022 themed ASO towards digital TV broadcasting with an explanation of the use of the application of Digital TV and Set Top Box devices with the aim of these activities so that the Indonesian people want to change or replace analog TV to digital TV using set top box devices to support existing changes.
