1. AMIGO™ System Overview
AMIGO™ is 8-VSB Modulator which has been applied to ATSC standard. Its Input Interface
supports SMPTE-310M (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) and DVB-ASI
Input.AMIGO™ receives MPEG2 TS (Transport Stream) through DVB ASI Input or SMPTE-
310M Input Interface.And it modulates with 8-VSB and makes RF Signal by built-in RF Up
Converter.
