Even with the availability of IP, RF installations have been thriving and growing. Why? RF is simple, economical, and scaleable; it can leverage existing coax infrastructure and can complement existing and future IP. In this course we'll learn how RF systems work, and how digital RF channels are encoded, integrated, distributed and tuned. We'll explore the crosspoint between RF HDTV and IPTV, as well as how to integrate TV control through the RF network.
NOTE: You will receive 1 CTS RU upon completion of this course.
