Term 2 of 129
Which type of video-on-demand (VOD) refers to a service where users can buy a particular
piece of VOD content on a pay-per-view (PPV) basis?
Take essential notes.
The cable and telecommunication association for marketing
Quadrature amplitude modulation (qam).

Term 3 of 129
A Single beam TV receive only antenna:
Hardware and software at the headend transmit the signals and keep track of events and
transactions.
Has a parabolic shape that reflects the downlink signal from all locations on the dish
surface onto a central focal point, which collects the reflections and provides maximum
signal reception
A rate cap based on the level of service (throughput) of each customer purchase is sent
to each cable modem when it is connected to the system
Balancing amplifier levels, sweeping of frequency responses, monitoring power
supplies, and conducting proof-of-performance testing
,Term 4 of 129
One difference between frequency modulation and amplitude modulated link techniques in
microwave signal transmission is that
Fm is used for digital signals, while aml is used for analog signals
FM transmits a single channel, and AML sends blocks of broadband channels between
headends and hubs.
Fm requires more bandwidth than aml for transmission
Fm and aml both transmit multiple channels simultaneously

Term 9 of 129
The data over cable services interface specification (DOCSIS) system security component,
baseline privacy interface plus (BPI+), protects customers data in the following ways:
FM transmits a single channel, and AML sends blocks of broadband channels between
headends and hubs.
The legend at the bottom of the network design map that defines the map symbols,
cable, types, and amplifier data.
BPI+ encrypts packet data across the cable network and provides secure distribution of
synchronized keying data from the CMTS to the cable modems to enforce conditional
access to network services.
Within each trunk amplifier, a portion of the downstream is fed to a bridger amplifier to
boost the signal before being split and routed to the distribution branches.
