An Analysis Of Proven Pay CATV Systems (1973)

By Richard D. Petit, K'son Corporation

This paper deals with the practical aspects of integrating viable Pay-TV concepts into existing CATV systems.

The problems associated with order taking in one way systems are reviewed and several of the more practical solutions are discussed in detaiI.

The practical application of a currently available control system which is capable of selectively addressing over one mill ion subscribers is described as it applies to the CATV operators' problems of computer billing and timely response to automated incoming orders.

The trade offs between on channel jamming, scrambling, pay channel converters and all channel converters are examined. Recommendations tailored to several varied but typical system situations are presented. Technical operation of the Tele/Theatre systems currently installed in over 63 hotels is reviewed.
