Using modern Public-key cryptography, these "scramblers" are much more Security than their earlier analog counterparts.

That station was one of the first in the United States to sign-on as a digital-only outlet with no analog counterpart.

Digital multimeters generally take measurements with accuracy superior to their analog counterparts.

Digital filters that require finite numbers of future values can be implemented while the analog counterparts cannot.

The broadcasters' standard-definition over-the-air digital transmissions, free of ghosts and snow, look better than their analog counterparts.

Digital cable channels are touted as being able to offer a higher quality picture than their analog counterparts.

Using modern public-key systems, these "scramblers" are much more secure than their earlier analog counterparts.

A digital fly-by-wire flight control system is similar to its analog counterpart.

Digital models also carry some benefits over their analog counterparts, such as the ability to remove noise from the algorithms and add modifications to make the parameters more flexible.

In Japan, where about 90 percent of the world's cameras are made, unit shipments of digital cameras began outpacing their analog counterparts last year.
