Live digital television

Last May the transmission of a television program was made numerically (digital). On the occasion of the European Football Cup, the signals were sent via satellite “Telecom 1C” from Munich to Paris (TF1 headquarters). In this transmission the information of 8,448 million bits per second was encoded.

Later, at the Symposium on TV held in mid-June in the Swiss city of Montreux, tests were conducted on numerical television broadcast without satellite with a transmitter located in France.
