Which device is used to convert digital signals to analog signals or analog signals to digital signals?
The set top box that your provider gives you is what converts the Digital signal to the analog signal. The digital signal is compressed at the provider and sent to the end user. The "tuner" (which can be built into a tv, a set top box or a cable card) Then decompresses the digital signal and converts it into an analog signal. There is much more to this did not know how technical you wanted your answer.
Why does a digital tuner for HDTV have a analog to digital converter?
The digital tuner also demodulates the normal analog broadcasting. The tuner outputs a analog composite video signal to Video Processing Chip. In that chip, there is a ADC to convert the analog to digital, then after procession, display the content on the screen
If you have a digital tv and an outdoor antennae do you need a converter box?
In the US the answer is probably not. Digital and analog TV broadcasts use the same frequencies and antennas. Digital TV is more fussy about signal quality than the older analog signals. So if you get marginal analog reception, figure on getting a new antenna for digital. The idea that there are special HDTV antennas is just marketing hype. Any antenna that gives you better digtial reception will also give you better digital reception.
Can you use old antena with converter box to get HD on your anolog tv?
For most people, their old antenna will work just fine. Don't let the people at the electronics store fool you, there is no such thing as an "HD antenna." There is nothing special that needs to be done to an antenna to receive HD signals. In fact, many of the antennas that are being marketed as "HD antennas" are inferior UHF-only antennas that receive a smaller set of signals than your old antenna. However, some people who were barely receiving an analog signal may need to buy a better antenna. Also, if the location of the digital transmitter has changed or the signal strength of the TV station has changed, you may need to re-aim or replace your old antenna. Simply plug the old antenna into the converter box and then plug the converter box into your old TV where the antenna used to go and you will be fine. The converter box will tune in a digital station (some digital stations are HD, some are not) and convert the digital signal into an old-fashioned analog standard definition signal and feed it into your old analog TV. You will not be able to watch shows in HD on your old analog TV, but you will be able to watch a version of the HD broadcast that has been converted into Standard Definition (SD) for you. You will be able to watch all of the digital stations including the HD ones but you will see them in Standard Definition. Standard Definition is 480i. Digital to Analog converter boxes receive all tv transmissions of 1080P , 1080i , 720P , 480P , 480i and coverts them ALL to 480i to watch on a standard definition NTSC Analog TV.
Will a set top box improve signal quality for your TV?
Set top box is basically used to convert the digital signals broadcasted by digital signal broadcasters to analog signals, in case you wish to have your analog tv, but would like to have an access to digital channels. Digital channels definitely have better quality signals than analog and therefore you will have a better picture quality and signal quality even though you have converted the digital signals to analog.
What converts a message from digital to analog and analog to digital?
An DAC convert digital signal to analog signal i.e Digital to Analog Converter. An ADC convert analog signal to digital signal i.e Analog to Digital Converter.
What is an analog-to-digital converter?
An analog-to-digital converter is a device which converts an infinite resolution analog signal to a finite resolution digital signal.
Where should analog to digital converter be placed?
where an analog signal is to be converted into digital signal,because in some applications we need digital signal where we have analog signal that is we use an A/D converter
What is it called when you convert a digital signal to analog?
When you convert digital signal to analog, it is called as an analog signal. The device used is called digital to analog converter.
What are basic elements of digital signal processing?
The basic elements in digital signal processing are an analog to digital converter, digital signal processor, and digital to analog converter. This process can take an analog input signal, convert it to digital for processing and offer an analog output.
What is convert analog to digital convert?
An analog-to-digital converter is a device which converts an infinite resolution analog signal to a finite resolution digital signal.
How CD players convert digital signal to and analog signal?
There is a device called a digital to analog converter (DAC).
What translates a computer's digital signal?
Digital to analog converter.An analog to digital converter and digital to analog converter are present in a computer. they serve this purpose. They are present in the form of ICs inside.
How can you convert the digital to analog or analog to digital?
Buy a new digital ready tv, get a digital receiver Sky or Freeview for your analogue tv
How is digital audio decoded?
To have digital to audio played back it has to be changed back to analog with the use of a DAC or digital to analog converter. The DAC will take the digital signal and try to recreate it as a analog signal.

How could a digital signal from outer space be picked-up?
Radio "signals" are always analog, not digital. To send a digital signal, it must be converted to analog format, and then the received signal has to be re-converted to digital. So the Voyager and Viking space probes, for example, include a digital-to-analog converter attached to the radio transmitter, and the radio receivers here on Earth are routed through an analog-to-digital converter to make sense of them. You yourself may have such an "analog-to-digital" converter; they are called "modems", or "modulator/demodulator".
