The Wandsworth Digital Sound
System is primarily for use in hospitals, enabling the selection
of up to sixteen programmes, either TV, FM or AM radio and auxiliary
inputs.
These digital signals are distributed from a modular master unit via one
four-core screened data cable. This low cost, lightweight data cable reduces
installation time and simplifies connections. Isolation techniques ensure
that faults are localised and do not affect the rest of the system. The
system is flexible, allowing easy expansion or modification after installation,
and all module receiver types are interchangeable.
Digital signals significantly improve sound quality, resulting in less
interference, and the sound from all TV stations can be distributed, offering
listening choice to patients.
