The Chinese standard is dual with a VSB and a TD-OFDM option. The VSB is a
much improved version of the US 8-VSB.
Broadcasters, manufacturers of transmitters, chip manufacturers and
receiver manufacturers can all choose what they want to use. They can all
decide what is best in a free market. They can all test up the kazoo if
they want.
The shootout is at hand.
But there will be no shoot out. There is zero support for the VSB
modulation. The University that fought so hard for VSB has won a Pyhrric
political victory.
My source tells me that no manufacturer of any kind will build anything to
do with VSB.
He says that VSB was allowed only to settle the argument, that is let the
market decide.
Back in 2000 Sinclair Broadcasting asked for the same thing for the US.
Just allow COFDM and let the market place decide. At that time 8-VSB
proponents knew that if COFDM was allowed in the US that 8-VSB was
finished.
After all if 8-VSB was better what threat would COFDM have offered? What
broadcaster would have chosen COFDM when they already had been working
with 8-VSB for a number of years?
The simple fact was and is that COFDM based modulations are so far
superior to VSB that in any free market VSB disappears.
Now we will see it happen in China.
