Abstract
An electronic device is disclosed. According to at least one embodiment, the device includes a front-end module having at least one front-end connector, adapted to be connected to a cable adapted for receiving electrical signal, a reception module adapted to receive an electrical signal from the front-end connector, a back-end module configured to process an electrical signal, an interfacing module comprising at least an isolation module adapted to transmit, to the back-end module, an electrical signal received from the front-end module.
Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- a front-end module comprising:
- at least one front-end connector adapted to be connected to a first cable adapted to receive at least one electrical signal and for transmitting Direct Current, said front-end connector being adapted to be connected to a second cable only adapted for receiving at least one electrical signal;
- at least one control module adapted to supply Direct Current to said front-end connector according to at least one command signal transmitted by a control processing unit;
- a reception module adapted to receive at least one electrical signal from said front-end connector;
- a back-end module configured to process at least one electrical signal;
- an interfacing module comprising at least an isolation module adapted to transmit, to said back-end module, at least one electrical signal received from said front-end module.
The electronic device is suitable for receiving audiovisual programs via an interface suitable for receiving radio frequency signals over a cable network.
A method for processing an electrical signal, said method comprising:
- receiving at least one electrical signal on at least one front-end connector of a first electronic device, said front-end connector being adapted to be connected to a first cable adapted for receiving at least one electrical signal and for transmitting Direct Current, said front-end connector being adapted to be connected to a second cable only adapted for receiving at least one electrical signal;
- transmitting said received electrical signal through at least one communication path including at least one isolation module to at least one processing module of said first electronic device;
- processing said electrical signal;
- supplying Direct Current to said front-end connector according to at least one command signal transmitted by a control processing unit to at least one control module of said first electronic device.
