Video Quality

Video quality is optimized by determining the size and speed to transmit MPEG packets to the TV. Packet latency and delay variation are adjusted automatically by the Modulator for best video quality and performance.

Audio Codec

Audio encoding is automatically selected for best quality based on the local modulation technique:

• AC3 Dolby Digital: Applies to ATSC (8VSB) broadcasting in North America.
• MPEG-2 Layer 1: Applies to DVB-T broadcasting in Europe and South America.
• ACC (Advanced Audio Coding): For MPEG-4, applies to ISDB-T broadcasting in South America and certain ATSC (8VSB) broadcasting in North America.
