ARMINCO TESTING NETWORK TELEVISION
Yerevan, January 29. ArmInfo. The biggest provider company of Armenia,
Arminco, is testing network television, says Arminco Technical
Director Grigory Sagiyan.
He says that the company is working on this project for several months
and is already telecasting 40 programs a day. The only problem is to
bring them to the user. This has become possible due to modern
technologies as internet broadcasting requires a data transfer speed
of two megabit per second. Sagiyan says that the television uses the
same terminology as the internet and digital telephony.
Besides, Arminco is planning to introduce high definition TV,
requiring 20 Mb per second. This can be compared with a cinema
screen. A speed lower than 20 Mb produces "squares" on the
screen. This TV can be connected though a fiber network. It suggests
quite a new approach to television, content management and
clientele. However, this is an expensive type of television and
requires high solvency.
