Wireless broadcast systems DVB-T/H 5000 Modulator
OVERVIEW
Designed to meet the most demanding requirements of today’s Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcast Market, the DVB-T 4000 from UBS is ranked number one in its class. A key factor in the products success is the quality of the CODing and modulation process. The modular design makes the unit highly flexible and the modulator is easily adaptable to provide the exact features required in a specific application. This means that you will only have to pay for the functional features that you need. Retronfitting of features is easy by uploading new firmware and software from a standard PC.
APPLICATON
The performance and flexIbility of the DVB-T 4000 allows it to excel in any application related to DVB-T modulation. Being a DVB_T modulator the core function of the DVB-T 4000 is to modulate on MPEG-2 transportstream (input) onto a DVB-T compliant COFDM spectrum (output) in accordance with the rules for channel coding and modulation specified in the DVB-T standard ETSI EN 300 744.
BASIC VERSION
The basic version of the DVB-T 4000 delivers the COFDM spectrum on a user defined frequency between 35 and 37 MHz, Inverted/non-inverted spectrum is selected on the front panel. The spectrum bandwidth may be user configured of 8 or 7 MHz as required. This flexibililty will allow the user to interface the IF signal to a wide range of transmitters and frequency converters. The basic unit has two MPEG-2 inputs (ASI format). Switching between the two inputs can be done manually and automatically. The latter option provides near seamless switching to a secondary transport stream incase the primary transport stream source fails (a truly valuable feature for broadcast applications.) The user can configure the basic version to any transmission mode listed in ETSI EN 300 744 (excluding hierarchical mode and SFN mode.)
