An analog signal that is digitized without any signal processing will require more bandwidth than the original analog signal. However, television signals are commonly compressed to remove large amounts of data from the digital signal.
As an example, an HD video signal in its raw format in a television studio uses 1483 megabits per second (1.483Gbit). By the time the signal is broadcast to viewers, it has been compressed to as little as 5Mbit per second - less than one percent of the original signal data rate. This is far lower than an equivalent HD analog signal would be.
The dramatic reduction in the data rate relies on complex processing that discards some detail of the image that are not important. It also examines every frame of the image and sends information only on the parts of the image that have changed. If a background is static, then only the moving parts of the foreground are updated. This is one of many techniques used to compress signals. Together, they do a remarkable job of delivering an image that a viewer thinks is as good as the original bt with a fraction of the bandwidth requirement.
according to my view, to deal with digital signal is more easy then that of analog. and it also stable so many of the semiconductor circuits run only on dc signals...... i think doubt is clear now....
Analog instrument are interface with digital instrument with the help of analog to digital converter(ADC).ADC converts analog signals to digital signals.
Older TV sets use analog signals. In February, all TV signals that are now analog will become digital because it gives more efficient use of the bandwidth. Analog sets will not receive and interpret the images from a digital transmission. It's the same reason you can't use your old TV as a computer monitor.
Transforming analog signals to digital is known simply as analog to digital conversion, sometimes shortened to A-D conversion.

Digital signals are capable of carrying more information than analogue signals because digital signals make use of the bandwidth more efficiently by closely approximating the original analogue..
Analog signals require higher fidelity than digital signals because digital are either on or off while analog are continuous. A small difference in an analog signal is not detectable while it requires a large difference to turn on into off (digital signal). Error correction is easier with digital signals.

Digital systems can be more complex and require additional processing power, which may lead to higher costs and energy consumption. They are also susceptible to issues like quantization errors and sampling noise, which can affect signal quality. Furthermore, digital signals may require more bandwidth for transmission compared to their analog counterparts, potentially limiting their application in certain scenarios. Lastly, digital systems may encounter compatibility issues with legacy analog devices, complicating integration.
The transfer of digital or analog data using digital or analog signals refers to the process of transmitting information from one device to another, either through digital signals or analog signals. Digital signals are electronic signals that represent binary data, while analog signals are continuous signals that represent continuous data. The method of transfer depends on the type of data being transmitted and the technology being used for the transfer. For example, digital data can be transferred using digital signals through a computer network, while analog data can be transferred using analog signals through a telephone line. Regardless of the method used, the goal of the transfer is to accurately transmit the information from one location to another.
It's usually analog, but digital signals can be converted, if needed.
