PROMAX up by 20% at the IBC
Our stand in Amsterdam was quite busy in this edition of the show with about 20% more visitors than last year. Most requested demonstration was the TV EXPLORER HD+, a reference in today’s challenging broadcast industry, mainly because of its powerful DVB-T2 measurement capabilities and its affordable price level, something of concern with present budget limitations everywhere.

BBC test transmissions in 1080p format
The BBC has begun this spring broadcasting HD content in 1080p format. Using the new DVB-T2 modulation schemes some BBC HD transmissions have now combined 1080i and 1080p video. TV EXPLORER HD+ is not only equipped with the latest generation of DVB-T2 demodulators but also compatible with these new 1080p transmissions.

EN-106 Home digital DVB-T modulator
EN-106 Home digital DVB-T modulatorThe EN-106 home modulator sends video and stereo audio signal from TV satellite receivers, closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV) or video players  to a TV which uses DVB-T (Digital Terrestrial Television) standard. The selection of an output channel for the modulated signal is done easily via keyboard and display. It also provides connection to the PC via USB.

2 years of experience in DVB-T2 go a long way
2 years of experience in DVB-T2 go a long wayMuch has happened since two years ago when we started the development of our measurement system for DVB-T2 to go on the TV EXPLORER HD+ range. The operators have relied heavily on our products to deploy their broadcast networks and as a result of our partnership new features come to life that everyone will be able to enjoy now.  Two years go far indeed.



COFDM over the Fiber
COFDM over the FiberIn applications where it is necessary to transport the RF signal over long distances, from one point to another, coaxial cable is not a suitable solution. Thanks to the DT-610 module it is now possible to easily transmit the DVB-T (COFDM) channels generated by the Digital To TV headend over a FO cable covering distances of up to 10km.

Dynamic echoes analysis in TV EXPLORER HD+
Dynamic echoes analysis in TV EXPLORER HD+There are many situations in which the presence of echoes can degrade or severely affect reception of DTT. The installer exposed to them can only play with the location and orientation of the antennas in order to minimize the negative impact that these echoes can have on signal reception. The dynamic analysis of echoes, made in the way the TV EXPLORER HD+ does, happens to be nowadays an essential function.

With the last software version, SATHUNTER+ and SATHUNTER are now easier to use
With the last software version, SATHUNTER+ and SATHUNTER are now easier to useYou can download right now the new software version for free for the SATHUNTER and SATHUNTER+ , This software gives numerous improvements to the Satellite Hunter. Thanks to the new navigation system now it is faster to scroll between the detection points (TP) that can pre-configured by the user (up to 50) and it is also easier to recognize satellites and to guide the satellite dish.

TV EXPLORER HD ISDB-T/TB: High Definition TV meter
PROMAX, at the forefront in implementing new technology, sets very high standards with this new field strength meter designed to meet the demand of the Brazilian and Japanese market. PROMAX has contributed in the deployment of this standard by developing the TV EXPLORER HD ISDB-T/TB that, like the other members of the family TV EXPLORER, is characterized as the most compact and complete field meter in the market.

Optical LNBs with TV EXPLORERs
The optical LNBs combine the four band/polarization feeds together into a single RF signal in the frequency range from 0.95 to 5.45 GHz. The RF signal is then converted to optical with a laser and transmitted over the fibre optic cable. All meters in the TV EXPLORER family can now work with optical LNBs using the new CV-100 Optical to RF signal adapter.

Television distribution at the Westminster Live studios
To distribute all the channels, which are usually received via satellite, the Westminster Live studios work with the Digital To TV (DTTV) headend of PROMAX. The DTTV headend is continuously re-tuning in order to offer the channels requested by the various media, which utilise the Westminster Live facilities. This process is carried out swiftly, via Ethernet / Internet, from the control room or any other location.

Digital Terrestrial Television coverage for rural areas in Euskadi
Digital Terrestrial Television coverage for rural areas in EuskadiITELAZPI, the company that broadcast radio and televisión in Euskadi, has selected PROMAX equipment for the coverage of DTT in rural areas. In this case, the Digital To TV is used as a regenerative unit, for the coverage of small communities. Traditionally, to cover this type of sites, it was common to use repeaters. In this article we describe the topology of the installation in one of the regenerative centers in the Little town of Azazeta (Alava).

Instrumentation to install FTTH The incorporation of new ultra-fast access infrastructures means that the optical fibre it is arriving to every home (FTTH). This new context requires equipments such of the new generation of fibre optics intruments presented by PROMAX, which are easy to use and lightweight.  Installers who are used to other technologies can use them very easily as they show results in a very understandable format

PROMAX in the Media Facility project
By means of this project under the Avanza I+D program, the operators who manage broadcast networks may compile RF parameters (Level, MER, impulse response ...) from ICT facilities located in conflict zones and in areas of overlapping coverage in SFN networks. PROMAX's experience with IP technology, with its recognized monitoring systems and telecontrol PROWATCH TELMO and PROWATCH DEIDE 3, will be key in developing the project.

ASI-TS connection for TV EXPLORER HD

Digital To TV: HDTV DVB-S2 receiver for your Cable TV system
Adding HDTV channels to your Cable TV network using DT-302 is easy and cost-effective. Most of the HDTV content available nowadays is coming from satellite. Because of the higher bit rate of the high definition TV programmes this type of services are normally allocated in satellite transponders using 8PSK modulation (DVB-S2).

Digital Television brings its opportunities
The advance of digital television is unstoppable and so it should be. The variation in picture quality many viewers have endured is about to come to an end. Experience shows that even in the most expensive hotels and apartment blocks picture quality has been seen as absolutely dreadful! That is not to say well installed analogue signal receiving set up will be inferior to a television image derived from a digital television (DTT), the fact is digital quality is consistent.
