Broad-band distribution and communication system

Abstract

Abstract 1. Broadband distribution communications system with a number of sources (Q1 ... Qk , Fig. 1) for a number of broadband signals (P1 ... Pm ) which are provided to a central office where a plurality of subscribers (T1 ... Ty ) are connected to the central office and where a multiplexer (Mux) is located in the central office to which the broadband signals are routed and to which the subscribers (T1 ... Ty ) are connected and where the broadband signals are combined in the multiplexer into a multiplex signal which is transmitted to the subscribers and from which the broadband signals are retrieved and are reproduced in playback devices, characterized in that the broadband signals are processed in the sources (Q1 ... Qk ) into digital broadband signals with the same frame identification and individual channel identification, in that a plurality of central offices (X1 ... Zx ) are provided, in that a digital multiplex signal (M, Figs. 2 and 3) is formed in the multiplexers (Mux) without the addition of a frame group identification or of synchronizing signs, in that a demultiplexer (Demux1 to Demuxp ) is assigned to each playback device (E1 ... Ep , Fig. 2) to retrieve the broadband signals by means of a receiving cycle (TE, Figs. 3 and 6) arrived at in the demultiplexer from the multiplex signal (M), in that a comparator (V, Fig. 3) is provided which compares the channel identification (KK) contained in the respective retrieved broadband signal (KE, Fig. 3) with the identification of the desired broadband signal entered in an input keyboard (ET), in that the comparator (V) is coupled with the associated demultiplexer so that, if the two identifications do not agree, the receiving cycle (TE) can be changed in its phase position until agreement is achieved.
