ABSTRACT:
A communication system is provided which allows video and audio/video transmissions over unloaded, twisted pairs of telephone wires. The system provides for automatic compensation of attenuation of a broadband video signal by measuring the attenuation of the low frequency components of the signal to determine the length of the unloaded, twisted pair through which the signal has been transmitted. This calculation is performed by comparing the attunated signal with the known signal level of transmission. Based upon the calculated length, the signal is amplified nonlinearly, since a greater loss occurs in the high frequency portions of a broadband signal than in the low frequency portions in transmission over twisted pairs of telephone wires. The signal is thereupon reconstructed. Also, the system allows transmission of a broadband frequency spectrum much wider than has heretofore been obtained. A broadband signal of at least 10.7 MHz can be transmitted over the system. The system also provides for left and right audio inputs and outputs, as well as auxiliary inputs and outputs. The transmission system can be utilized so that persons with a video camera and a personal computer can communicate with each other, transmitting full-motion, color video over unloaded, twisted pairs of telephone wires.
