1 Scope
This part of IEC 60728 is applicable to optical transmission system for broadcast signal transmission that
consists of a head-end equipment, optical transmission lines, in-house wirings and
a system outlet. The system is primarily intended for television and sound signals
using analogue and/or digital transmission technology. This standard specifies the
basic system parameters and methods of measurement for optical distribution system
having a system outlet in order to assess the system performance and its performance
limits.
The purpose of this part of IEC 60728 is to describe the system specification of FTTH (fibre to the home) network for broadcast
signal transmission. This standard is also applicable to the broadcast signal transmission
using telecommunication network if it satisfies the optical portion of this standard.
This standard describes RF transmission for broadcast and narrowcast (limited area
distribution of broadcast) signals over FTTH, and introduces xPON system as a physical
layer media. The detailed description of physical layer is out of the scope of this
standard. The scope is limited to RF signal transmission over FTTH, thus, it does
not include IP transport technologies, such as IP Multicast and associate protocols.
