DVB-T2

Harris Corporation’s complete, energy-efficient DVB-T2 solution includes a compact video headend, digital transmitters and test and measurement equipment. The Harris Selenio media convergence platform, which combines traditional baseband video / audio processing, video / audio compression and IP networking features in a single, space saving 3RU frame, and also serves as a complete video headend for DVB-T and DVB-T2 broadcasters.

The Selenio platform’s unmatched density also means fewer rack units, lower initial capital outlay, reduced installation costs, and lower operating costs due to its ultra-green technology. A highly intuitive GUI simplifies configuration and offers lightning-fast troubleshooting to minimise downtime.

Harris also offers customers a complete range of transmitters for DVB-T, DVB-T2 and other global digital terrestrial standards via its Maxiva UHF and Platinum VHF families. Both transmitter ranges feature Harris PowerSmart technology for green, high-density transmission operations and low total cost of ownership. The built-in, software-definable Harris Apex M2X exciter supports all global analogue and digital terrestrial standards, including DVB-T2.

Maxiva UAX Compact Class is an air-cooled, UHF TV transmitter ideal for extending coverage in challenging situations, including national networks and busy urban areas that require greater building penetration. The family includes translators / transposers and SFN gap-fillers with adaptive echo cancellation.

The Videotek Multi-Source Analyser (MSA) series of test and measurement systems completes the overall Harris DVB-T2 solution. This series offers two base platforms (MSA-100 and MSA-300) in space-efficient 1RU packages capable of handling a wide variety of encoding and modulation standards.
