A Smart Investment for Today and the Future

• ABC-Net is a wise, balanced investment in TV management and media distribution.
• ABC-Net operates over CATV Coax delivering many video channels and 2-way control over a single medium. CATV coax is the only pathway that conforms to FCC standards for broadcasting analog and digital channels.
• ABC-Net adds only a small investment over a standard Smart TV CATV installation, and can be retrofit to existing sites.
• ABC-Net adapts to existing media reservation procedures, reducing the impact of change to a bare minimum
• ABC-Net opens the door to digital media, teachers can select and control just like analog media, without impacting computer network bandwidth, or without a network at all.
• ABC-Net complements the future use of network-driven media. While a computer network can only carry a few digital media streams, ABC-Net can network existing analog media, integrate digital media, and receive tomorrow’s digital broadcasts.
