What is BS EN 50083-9 - Interfaces for CATV/SMATV headends and similar professional equipment about?
BS EN 50083-9 is an international standard that discusses cable networks for television signals, sound signals, and interactive services.
BS EN 50083-9 describes physical interfaces for the interconnection of signal processing devices for professional CATV/SMATV headend equipment or for similar systems, such as in uplink stations.
BS EN 50083-9 specifies the transfer of DVB/MPEG-2 data signals in the standardized transport layer format between devices of different signal processing functions.
Note 1: The extent of this standardization work is from the antennas, special signal source inputs to the headend, or other interface points to the network up to the system outlet or the terminal input, where no system outlet exists.
Note 2: The standardization of any user terminals (i.e., tuners, receivers, decoders, multimedia terminals etc.) as well as any coaxial and optical cables and accessories are excluded.
Note 3: RF interfaces and interfaces to telecom networks are...
