Light Network channel 33 is achieving greater
innovation as it begins its official broadcast on Digital Television this
coming March 2017! Through this exciting breakthrough, viewers in Mega Manila
will soonbe able to experience a clearer and highly-improved video and sound
quality ofLight Network in their televisions. Once official broadcast begins,
people can now watch Light Network anytime and anywhere because not only will
the channel be available on digital boxes and digital-ready televisions, but it
could also be accessed through handheld devices such as tablets, smartphones
and other gadgets.
The “digitalization” is the process of
converting our current Analog Television broadcasting into Digital Terrestrial
Television (DTT), which simply means that our existing television technology
will be transformed into an upgraded, higher quality of broadcast system.
Through this digital improvement, Light Network will soon be available on
multiple digital viewing platforms—broadening its horizon among the television
programming sphere.
In an interview with Engr. Antonio Soriano, the
Vice President of Technical Operations for Light Network, he said that he is
excited for the upcoming Digitalization of Light Network, because the channel
had long since been prepared for this huge digital switchover.“Tayo ang unang
nag-convert from Analog to Digital transmitter.
Wala nang test -broadcast. Official broadcast na agad.” He also said that not all channels are ready
to make the digital “switch”, making
Light Network the first channel in the
Philippines to migrate to the exciting domain of Digital TV, while
maintaining its frequency on Channel 33.
According to the National Telecommunications
Commission (NTC), oncethe innovative technology of Digitalization is fully
implemented, it would not only deliver better image and
sound quality to our television channels, but it would also be able to provide features
such as data casting, multi-channel platform, One Seg, and most importantly,
the Emergency Warning Broadcast System (EWBS), which is used to transmit
nationwide warning announcements in times of earthquakes, tsunamis, or other
high-alert disasters.
Engr. Antonio Soriano further stated that these
features are just few of the many benefits of Digital TV. According to him,
through the other upcoming advancements in Digitalization, television will
finally regain its essential standing in the lives of people, as compared to
the rising media usage for mobile devices.“Yes. Maibabalikang TV bilang prime
Media tool,” he concluded.
