METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUMULTANEOUSLY TRANSMITTING VIDEO, SOUND, DATA AND ORDINARY TELEPHONE SERVICE, BIDIRECTIONALLY OVER AN ORDINARY TWISTED PAIR

摘要

An apparatus and method for modulating and simultaneously bi-directionally transmitting full-motion, television-quality color video signals and associated audio and data signals, together with a digital subscriber line (DSL) and plain old telephone service (POTS) over a single ordinary twisted copper pair telephone (TCP) wire. Video signals are transmitted using vestigial sideband transmission such that each video signal occupies approximately 6 MHz of bandwidth on the TCP wire. DSL data signals and POTS signals are transmitted on the TCP wire at non-interfering frequencies as are the audio and data channels associated with the video signals.
