CEA-761-B defines minimum specifications for a one-way data path utilizing an 8 VSB trellis or a 16 VSB remodulator in compliance with ATSC Standard A/53, Annex D. It also defines on-screen display (OSD) capabilities. CEA-761-B applies to any type of device used to connect to an ATSC compliant digital television receiver (DTV) receiver. Devices meeting this standard should interoperate with any ATSC compliant receiver that also supports "monitor mode."
