B-MAC: Technology & Standards

B-MAC is a form of analog video encoding, specifically a type of Multiplexed Analogue Components (MAC) encoding. MAC encoding was designed in the mid 80s for use with Direct Broadcast Satellite systems. Other analog video encoding systems include NTSC, PAL and SECAM. Unlike the Frequency-Division Multiplexing (FDM) method used in those, MAC encoding uses…
