P a g e Typical Application of 4 * ATSC Carrier Outputs Firstly, it is to guarantee the sound picture quality of HD programs. As we all know, to guarantee the picture quality of 1920x1080@50I/60I resolution HD program, the video bit-rate may reach up to 11Mbps and even above. However, the maximum possible bit-rate output for single ATSC-T carrier is only around 19 Mbps.
