Is WABI operating digital at full power?
Yes, we are. Q: What is High Definition Television? High definition television, or HDTV, uses the larger portion of the assigned spectrum of digital programming space to provide a single program. As a result, viewers will be able to receive crystal clear, sharp images at five times the resolution of analog television, all in a wide-screen format with surround-sound quality audio. The visually stunning pictures displayed on the wider screen (16 by 9 aspect ratio vs. the square box of 4 by 3 aspect ratio) and CD-quality sounds of HDTV create a true home theater experience. Q: What is Multi-casting? When not broadcasting in high definition, digital television gives each station the potential to transmit four or more programs simultaneously. Standard definition television (SDTV) multicasting uses a compression technique that’s only available with a digital system. Though it’s not high definition, SDTV offers higher quality images with stereo sound that far exceed the current analog system.
