FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.

INTRODUCTION
Standards of the IEC 60728 series deal with cable networks including equipment and
associated methods of measurement for headend reception, processing and distribution of
television signals, sound signals and their associated data signals and for processing,
interfacing and transmitting all kinds of signals for interactive services using all applicable
transmission media.
This includes
• CATV -networks,
• MATV-networks and SMATV-networks,
• individual receiving networks
and all kinds of equipment, systems and installations installed in such networks.
The extent of this standardisation work is from the antennas and/or special signal source
inputs to the headend or other interface points to the network up to the terminal input.
The standardisation of any user terminals (i.e., tuners, receivers, decoders, multimedia
terminals, etc.) as well as of any coaxial, balanced and optical cables and accessories thereof
is excluded.

This word encompasses the HFC networks used nowadays to provide telecommunications services, voice,
data, audio and video both broadcast and narrowcast.

CABLE NETWORKS FOR TELEVISION SIGNALS,
SOUND SIGNALS AND INTERACTIVE SERVICES –
Part 5: Headend equipment
1 Scope
This part of IEC 60728 defines the characteristics of equipment used in the headends of
terrestrial broadcast and satellite receiving systems (without satellite outdoor units and
without those broadband amplifiers in the headend as described in IEC 60728-3). The satellite
outdoor units for FSS are described in ETSI ETS 300 158, for BSS in ETSI ETS 300 249. Test
methods for both types (FSS and BSS) of satellite outdoor units are laid down in
ETSI ETS 300 457.
This standard
• covers the frequency range 5 MHz to 3 000 MHz,
• identifies performance requirements for certain parameters,
• lays down data publication requirements for certain parameters,
• stipulates methods of measurements;
• introduces minimum requirements defining quality grades (Q-grades).
This standard defines the overall characteristics for upstream/downstream signals between
external sources/sinks (for example, antennas, cable modem termination systems, etc.) and
the system interface to the cable network. In the case of modular headend systems, also
single equipment as modulators, converters, etc. are described. Cable modem termination
systems, encrypters, decrypters, etc. are not described in this standard. If such equipment is
used in headends, the relevant parameters for RF, video, audio and data interfaces should be
met.
According to the definitions in 3.1, the headends are divided into the following three quality
grades:
• Grade 1: central headend;
• Grade 2: hub headend or hubsite;
• Grade 3: MATV headend/individual reception headend.
