Abstract: The transition from analog to digital and, now, high-definition has introduced new challenges to the broadcast engineer for ensuring the transmission of a signal from point A to point B. A new series of testing methodologies, completely different from analog methods, is presented. During this transition, it is important to deal with these measurements in a familiar manner, using tools broadcast engineers have developed over the years. Equipment has now been developed that takes advantage of digital technology and processing to provide measurement and monitoring tools for a wide variety of high and standard-definition formats, while maintaining familiar operations. This paper reviews the digital TV signal and use of the new equipment to measure performance.
