Cable and Terrestrial Receivers in its upcoming family of tuners.
LG Innotek has a proven track record of delivering a variety of

that convert RF in the form of 8VSB (vestigial sideband), 64/256
QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) and NTSC (National Television
Standards Committee), outputting MPEG2, CVBS and I2S. THEATER
313 also delivers exceptional cable and terrestrial performance
based on ATI’s latest advanced receiver technology and feature
set.
THEATER 313 incorporates a universal QPSK (quadrature phase shift
keying) forward data channel (FDC) receiver and a BTSC/Dual FM
demodulator and decoder. THEATER 313 is configurable to operate
in either the ITU-J.83B/SCTE DVS-031 compliant 64 QAM or 256 QAM
modes used by digital cable systems, the NTSC analog system, or
the ATSC compliant 8VSB mode used in digital terrestrial broadcasting.
For digitally modulated input signals (QAM or 8VSB), THEATER 313
outputs a parallel or serial MPEG compliant transport stream.
